Although the episodes weren’t live, it was the first time that viewers could vote for their favorites.

The judges have set the contestants up for disappointment because they gave them all praise, and no criticism.

While it’s nice to see them building their confidence, some of their critiques were unrealistic.

Reality TV is more popular than ever.

No one stood out because Carrie, Lionel, and Luke judged them all the same.

Otherwise,American Idolbecomes nothing more than a popularity contest.

Because Carrie, Lionel, and Luke aren’t doing this, theAmerican Idolproducers should make it a requirement.

I couldn’t believehow afraid they seemed to give any sort of negative critique to anyone.

However, she didn’t do that at all during Hawaii Week.

American Idol is a reality singing competition that adds to the international “Idol” brand, conceived initially in the U.K. as Pop Idol. Holding massive auditions across the U.S., American Idol invited several contestants to perform in front of a panel of judges that would determine whether or not they’d go on to future rounds for a chance at competing in the fully televised premiere of the show. Contestants are voted off each week by American participation via voting through various mediums, and the winner of the competition would be given a contract with a record label to secure a future as America’s next musical idol.

Whatever the reason, they have to do better with judging during the live shows.

The ones who need work should be given constructive criticism to help them improve.

American Idolairs Sundays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
