that doesnt hurt, thats for sure..
but i like competition shows, and i like the fact that these are all real good singers....and i dont really see what you mean by castoffs? the only one i know of is Frenchie and she wasnt a castoff, she was dq'd, cuz she showed her jugs on the net, and AI wouldnt allow it......there has been a ton of talent on this show so far, i think...
i still watch Idol, but once Casey was gone too soon, it kinda cooled me to the season...its still fun, but seeing him leave before Jacob stuck in my craw...
Yea no real idol cast offs but a few of them have long careers. Like the guy Javier who played time after time actually has some youtube videos with 100K+views and a decent following before the show. This show seems like more of a mix of resurrecting a career with some new talent while AI is mostly younger people.
