I haven't really been watching this season. In between the whine-y contestants and the judges' complete inability to give ANY meaningful criticism...to me, the show has become too happy. Seriously, there have been some horrible singers that have made it through that would have NEVER made it through had Simon still been judging. I'm not saying that the judges need to go into total "dick mode" and tear some of these bad singers apart, but they certainly haven't been as selective as they once were.

I prefer THE VOICE anyway.
