As a loyal viewer since season 1,I really miss whatAmerican Idolused to be.
Winner Kelly Clarkson, runner-up Justin Guarini, and the other contestants became household names.
Reality TV is more popular than ever.
I rushed to the record store the morning after the finale to buy the winners' singles.
However, I was shocked when ABC revived it two years later in 2018.

It was so much fun to be a part of it.
However, in today’s world,people don’t watch TV the same way anymore.
This has made shows likeAmerican Idollose steam because people aren’t watching them live.
It’s not the same as when everyone had to watch the episodes live.
However,when shows such asThe X FactorandThe Voiceentered the scene, viewers now had choices.
People who were tired ofAmerican Idolbegan watching these other shows.
I’ve tried watching other singing competition shows, butI’ve always likedAmerican Idolthe best.
However, I understand why the other shows might appeal to people.
Therefore,American Idolis no longer the juggernaut that it once was.
Just look at Benson Boone, who quitAmerican Idolseason 19, but achieved tremendous success after leaving the show.
American Idol doesn’t feel the same since Carrie Underwood took Katy Perry’s seat at the judging table.
Has the singing competition show lost its way?
Although I miss the old days ofAmerican Idol, I can appreciate the show for what it is now.
While it might not be producing superstars anymore, I find it entertaining for what it is.
I always hold out hope that someone from the newest season might be the breakout star of the show.
American Idolairs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
