"very public mocking of clueless contestants that appeared to be somewhat mentally-challenged. And like you, I'm wondering if I have the stomach for the "spectacle of cruelty" that American Idol may unleash in the upcoming weeks." That's the show. It's the part Americans like! Yes, its the part I like the least but I also like to watch the ones who are good go from their initial audition til the finals. Seeing the transformation is interesting to me. As for the judges, in years past, Paula and Randy were more restrained in their mocking, and Simon alone was the ogre. That's changed this year for whatever reason. Their attitude is very much an LA one......most LA people don't think there is anything of interest outside of LA and NYC........which, of course, is contrary to the primary premise of the show.
