Critic Reviews for American Idol Season 1
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)
[American Idol] proves that competition in any form can be entertaining and Simon Cowell knows what he's talking about.
Winning a fame contest is not all that different from being kidnapped, reprogrammed and choreographed by Lou Pearlman.
As TV, American Idol is crazily entertaining; as music, it's dust-mote inconsequential.
So let's get it in writing that without [Kelly] Clarkson, this show would've been hosed and probably canceled within two years, which perhaps would've saved us all a lot of grief, long-term.
Like it or not, American Idol's show formula (as unforgiving as it can sometimes be) really does work.
