Am I Missing Something?

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

That's basically the size of it. I don't know about you but I watch the show because I want to see contestants sing. I want to watch their story ark from start to stardom. But whoever's running the show seems to think that all that side story stuff and trying to tug on hartstrings is what brings the ratings and I think they've got it wrong. Sure we want some side story but it shouldn't be the main story. This is a singing competition not a 'who's had it the hardest' show. So far I've been pretty disappointed with how little singing I've seen. There were a lot of singers I wanted to see more of who they just glossed over or didn't show it all. Like what happened with Carley? I thought she was pretty rad but even if the show creators didn't think so, shouldn't they have shown us something of her Hollywood week performance? If they spent more time showing singers and less time shooting for zingers they could have showcased more talent. If this show doesn't change its format for the next season (if it gets a next season), I see no reason to expect it has a future. Too bad because it's a great concept. The creators need to take a cue from the judges: be yourself. When you try to be something you're not you won't be successful.

Sorry this show was an example on how stupid American's are. You loved Randy Jackson's limited vocabulary. You also stop voting for who was the best but who had the best sob story. This was suppose to be a singing show not a modern day version of "Queen for a Day". This show did produce some well known talent however I stop watching the year beat box boy kept beat boxing every song when the judges told him to stop, I think his name was Blake and after the show was over "So was his Career". If this show does return as promised I hope they get judges that know how to judge and know more than on noun!

Liked up until tonight, don't get the voting for top 24, way too politically correct by "genre" and demographic- hate we didn't get to see full performance, need to spend less time on opinions of judges!!Hollywood is a rock star!!This season is so surface and dull, tired of words by each judge, bottom line they can be heartless, why even have them connect with the contestants? I love Ryan!! He has integrity and true style. I hate the genre theme this year, why even tell background stories on the contestants!

I've honestly never had any interest in watching this show.But when I read S.Ty would be judging,being a big Aerosmith fan,I thought "I am SO watching that!"He brings life and humor to the show.He's a fun and fair judge and knows what he's talking about.I personally think it's so cute when he brings out his funny side.And his quotes are like no one else's.I'm seriously hooked because of him!(They shouldn't be trying to silence him just because some of us like him better than J.Lo.)When I see him being,well,Steven,all I can think is:"I love him".I literally can't get enough of him.If he decides to leave or gets fired,that's the end for my viewing.So keep up the good work Mr.Tyler!
