I never watched American idol until the last series and was shocked at the talent on there. I have always been a fan of the X Factor and watched it for three consecutive years but when I watched this I was pleasently suprised by the brilliant singers on there. The idea of the show is that people go and audition to be on the show by singing infront ...  Read the complete review

'Pop Idol' grabbed my attention back in 2001. It wasn't a bad series, and the talent's produced weren't too bad either, but a year later and the US version came along; 'American Idol', putting the UK's Pop Idol to shame. Firstly I feel the talent over in America is much better than over here in the UK - maybe that's just because there ...  Read the complete review

American Idol is like an American version of the show X factor, Simon Cowell is the main judge in both and they are both basically talent shows that concentrate on singing talent.

I've been watching American Idol for quite sometime now and I can say it's a good entertaining show. This is a good opportunity for those who have talent on singing and performing on stage, I can also say it's about charm or charisma to get America's vote. For seven seasons, 3 judges holds the right to say their opinions and tell how good or how ...  Read the complete review

Leona Lewis is obviously the ...  Read the complete review

We have changed our format in the UK and now have the X factor, which is managed by Simon Cowell....America ...  Read the complete review

This program has pretty much the same format as The X Factor and as far as I'm concerned that is no bad thing. It begins with the same audition rounds of good, bad and downright crazy contestants - the last episode I watched included a high school students with his two female cheerleaders performing a routine before he entered the judging room! ...  Read the complete review

Members of the public sing in front of a judging panel of experts, and are whittled down to a dozen finalists who sing live on TV each week, eventually being further voted down by the public to a winner, who wins a recording ...  Read the complete review

American Idol made it's return for Season 8 yesterday with a 2-hour episode of auditions on ITV2. It was one of the best episodes I've ever watched on the show. It is once again hosted by comedian, Ryan Seacrest who I have mistakenly sometimes called "Ryan Seechest". The three original judges return with a brand new fourth ...  Read the complete review

So, another series of American Idol is over (ok, ok, bear with me, I wrote this review about a couple of months ago). The new Idol has been crowned, surprisingly, yet refreshingly as David Cook, the 'rock' outsider. American Idol is a singing talent show. This year, in it's 7th season, auditions have become more popular than ever. Host, ...  Read the complete review

INTRO I don't feel anyone will hold it against me by opening this review and saying, David Cook won. This is because I'm pretty sure the amount of people that actually watch American Idol in the UK is probably ridiculously tiny, that anyone who did care enough to follow the show would have discovered the result since last weeks grand finale. ...  Read the complete review

American idol is by far one of the best shows on tv at the moment, I think I have watched every single season and this one is up there with the best of them. They haven't all been great, there have been some right bores on the show, but I think on this particular season they have catered for all types of music. Although with me not ...  Read the complete review

To start this review off I'm going to say that I can't stand British reality TV. Take the winner of X Factor for example, I myself can't even remember his name and he's never going to go anywhere, however with Simon Cowell's other show American Idol, he's had some real talented people come from it. One of the best selling female ...  Read the complete review
