Cheesy TV... Yet it's good viewing!

"The show is mindless TV. It will be remembered like the 1st season of "Survivor." A show that captivated millions during a certain point in time.It's a talent search but the twist is, judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul get to tell you how you did right after. Did I mention they are brutally honest?The best part is the actual talent search, with the judges going from city to city. It gets a bit cheesy during finals, and ultimately you are not too satisfied with the top 10. Jim and EJay anyone?It's also frustrating to see your favorites mess up, Ryan Starr's "You Really Got Me", Nikki's "Always Something There To Remind Me", and the seemingly unstoppable Tamyra Gray's mistep "New Attitude." But it's still entertaining.If you liked the show buy this. It's fun to watch and it also is loaded with performances. If your favorite one makes it you have at least 12 of their performances on DVD."
