Fuskie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 "American Idol" announced Monday that it is lowering the minimum age restriction for contestants from 16 to 15, allowing even younger aspiring pop stars to forgo their hairbrushes and stuffed-animal audiences in exchange for a real microphone and millions of TV viewers. http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/21/a...dex.html?hpt=C2 Fuskie Who figures eventually anyone over the age of 20 won't stand a chance...

kayo Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The "Bieber effect" is right- sigh. I don't think I will be able to stomach this show much longer if it ends up becoming a competition to be the next JB or Miley or Jonas Brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotbb9 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I think 15 is too young! I actually feel like they should raise the age limit to 17 or 18. Jordin is the only under 18 winner, right? I feel like she's the exception and not the rule - most kids can't really handle the competition and I don't think most of them could handle winning.

erinjs Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yah, I think it is a bad move... AI is going down the drain, look at this past season. Can it get any worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey721 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Switch it to The Disney Channel. This is ridiculous. I can't stand the 17 year olds now. I definitely won't be able to stand hearing a 15 year old sing Chain of Fools with the line "for 5 long years I thought you were my man".If anything, I think they should up the age. What could possibly be the rationale for this suicide move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayo Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Maybe they figure since Simon Cowell isn't going to be a judge any longer, they won't have to worry about a 15 yr old bawling on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jersey721 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Don't like J-Lo, not crazy about Steven Tyler. I think Harry Connick Jr. would have been a perfect judge. He's funny and also has the music expertise. And I was never a Kara hater. I thought she was better than Paula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
