Your Turn
If you could only keep one of these talent shows on the air, which would you keep. I use America in the titles, but many countries generally have at least one of these, if not all of them.
American Idol
The Voice
X-Factor
America's Got Talent
So You Think You Can Dance
So You Think You Can Dance. Times a BILLION
ReplyDeleteCan I choose none? Because none.
ReplyDeleteYes @karen
DeleteSo you think you can dance!!!! No question. SO much talent.
ReplyDeleteSo You Think You Can Dance - my daughter was in ballet and ariel theatre for 7 years so we know the good stuff when we see it and some of the performances on here have brought us to tears
ReplyDeleteThe Voice. SYTYCD-2nd choice
ReplyDeleteSo You Think You Can Dance is amazing. The contestants' talent is absolutely unbelievable. I agree with Renoblondee. However, I will say that of all the other "talent" shows, The Voice is fresh and fun. I give it a second-place finish after SYTYCD.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any of them. I like my reality TV trashy thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD #1 Absolutely. As far as I'm concerned the rest can go off the air now. The Voice #2, but far behind SYTYCD.
ReplyDeleteI say take them ALL off; I think all talent shows are lame and boring and I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch any of them!
ReplyDeleteNone of the above - and they can take the Bachelor shows with them.
ReplyDeleteI got into the voice Australia, its the only time I ever voted for one of these things. and I liked Australian idol but it got canned
ReplyDeleteSo You Think You Can Dance..I could watch it every week forever. The Voice was good the first season but it got too edited, predictable, and the duets of the battles weren't being sold on itunes, so i lost interest. I love Howard Stern enough to maybe get through an episode of AGT one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI'd get rid of every single one of them if I could. They're all crap.
ReplyDeleteThey all have their flaws. The Voice seems to be the most popular but $100,000 prize just isn't amazing when you compare it to the fact that The X Factor gives $5 million.
ReplyDeleteI could live without any of them to be honest.
Absolutely none of them. I'd rather watch a blank screen.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Idol. My kids and I have so much fun watching every episode together, and going to the concerts.
ReplyDeleteAs far as that "Americas Got Talent" show. No. No it does not.
I would keep none of them!
ReplyDeleteI watched the first season of America's Got Talent, and it was ehhh ok. Then by the second season it was just another singing comp, so I stopped watching it. Don't care about singing, don't care about dancing. Get rid of them all.
I've never seen any of these shows.
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD... awesome platform for both dancers and choreographers to get exposure in their craft!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I used the word craft ;)
None. At all. I'm so sick of reality tv. But if I have to choose, SYTYCD.
ReplyDeleteDance! Definitely
ReplyDeleteI was gonna say the Voice until I saw SYTYCD. So yeah SYTYCD.
ReplyDeleteDon't make me choose! Why can't there be room for all?
ReplyDeleteMy faves tho are SYTYCD, American Idol and AGT if Howard Stern is there.
So You Think You Can Dance-FOREVER AND ALWAYS. Nothing else comes close. Ever.
ReplyDeleteCripes, what a tough decision.
ReplyDeleteI am cool with all of them disappearing for good. Especially now that my beloved Britney is gone :*(
sytycd....
ReplyDeletethe rest are kind of predictable, but still better than the life-based reality shows. now, those need to be canned.
Project Runway.... that's the only talent show I watch.
ReplyDeleteNone
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any of them, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the dancing one, if only b/c I watched the episode of Don't Trust the B where JvdB shows off his dancing skills.
ReplyDeletePlus, dancing rules.
"So You Think You Can Dance" is most likely the best talent show OTA. I can't dance for shit and think it's ultra-boring to watch in person, but these people really can dance. It's not that they do unbelievable things like jump 50 times - it's that they can really pull you in and evoke emotion. And they're doing it through your TV, which is difficult to do (see the hot/cold medium stuff back in the 50s).
ReplyDeleteThere's skill and there's talent - and a large number of the contestants have both.
I wish they had a "greatest dance" compilation. If you've never watched, watch it. If you think reality/competition shows suck, this one doesn't.
if anything, it'll show you how talentless and lacking in ability you are.
SYTYCD!!!
ReplyDeleteSo You Think You Can Dance. Real talent.
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed America's got Talent on the list. My family and I enjoyed watching it in the past. I love the weirdos and I love Nick Cannon and Howie Mandel. I haven't seen it yet with Howard Stern, and I doubt that it will be as enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD! This show is fabulous. Here is where you will find real talent, and passion, and these folks literally bleed for their art.
ReplyDeleteThe rest are getting kind of tired, and singers are everywhere. Finding
a great dancer with the ability to perform in many genres of music is
awesome to watch.
Don't watch any of them but I saw a couple of episodes of The Voice and found it ok.
ReplyDelete@FSP, your pic, eeewww!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteI'll vote with *karen*, none!!
Or... can I bring back Extreme Makeover Home Edition????? =)
I dont give a crap about any these but if i had to pick, american idol.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the Voice but I really only watch the beginning part. Now tho after reading these comments I feel like I should be watching SYTYCD. But isn't that the one with that screaming obnoxious woman on it?
ReplyDeleteThey all suck.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to keep any of them. I hate reality shows. Never watched any of them and never will
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any of them.
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD is amazing but I like the judges on The Voice better. So either of those would work for me.
ReplyDeleteSo you think you can dance.
ReplyDeleteThey got rid of SYTYCD in Australia and I really miss it. The only other one I like was The Voice. But we are stick with Ricky Martin as a judge this year so I think I'll pass
ReplyDeleteI *wish* I could only keep one of them, that way there would be far less crap on TV!!! They're ALL terrible!
ReplyDeleteThe Voice, The Voice, The Voice. The End.
ReplyDeleteI am very proud to announce I've never seen a single one of these shows.
ReplyDelete@Stacey, Yes, SYTYCD does have the screaming obnoxious woman. So DVR it and fast-forward through all the fluff, including Mary's hysterics. (they have a ton of it- you can shave off 35-40 minutes of the two-hour show.) It's really, really worth it then.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice
ReplyDeleteSo you think you can dance. Then the voice.
ReplyDeleteI like the variety of acts in X-Factor, but I think it was a mistake to have the judges mentor certain contestants.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any of them so they can all go.
ReplyDeleteI am going to quote what ethorne said word for word:
ReplyDelete"I don't watch any of them. I like my reality TV trashy thank you very much."
So You Think You Can Dance. It's the only one I watch. Don't need any other talent shows, thanks. Just gimme my Dance.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice. But only without Xtina.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD.
ReplyDeleteAnd if I had to pick a singing show, The Voice.
The Gong Show.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice
ReplyDeleteSo You Think You Can Dance!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Voice and AGT.
ReplyDeleteAGT is my summer guilty pleasure --I'm a sucker for banjo playing and yodelling.
I really like the music on The Voice, and the structure of the competition, but I would have a hard time giving up AGT in the summers. :(
The Voice
ReplyDeleteThe Voice. Had a chance to go to a recording of a show last season. AMAZING. All of the judges except one interracted with the crowd and the artists. Love this show.
ReplyDeleteI love The Voice. It's the only talent show that I never miss an episode of. Next would be AGT. Some contestants really do have extraordinary talents that they obviously spent countless hours on perfecting. Then SYTYCD. The dancers on that show amaze me.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of Idol or X-Factor and never watch them.
None of the above.
ReplyDeleteAll of these shows can go bye-bye. I have no need for any of them.
ReplyDeleteso you think you can dance, no doubt
ReplyDeleteNone. Or maybe the Dance one because people seem to like it and I don't watch any of them anyway.
ReplyDeleteNone. I'd rather watch static than any of that crap.
