American Idol Ratings Down 26% As Lackluster Season Opener Airs On Fox

"American Idol" cast

The ratings for the Fox talent show "American Idol" have plunged 26%, as the season opener brought in significantly lower numbers. Its illegal spin off "X-Factor" by former "American Idol" talent judge, Simon Cowell, hasn't fared any better, with half the ratings of its predecessor. It's time for these fake shows to go.

They have spawned dysfunctional felons and thieving karaoke singers ripping off other people's preexisting copyrights. That is not an accomplishment, but a disgraceful travesty. Mark my words, it is going to go down in history in a bad way, especially when all the scandals start pouring out.

X-Factor Ratings Plunge Again Leaving Simon Cowell Red-Faced After Boasts

"X-Factor" cast

The ratings for Fox's "X-Factor" talent show, starring greedy Simon Cowell, who bragged that it would beat his former show "American Idol" have plunged again. Ratings are down by an additional 10% proving Cowell's boasts wrong.

The show has been plagued by scandal and controversy which turned viewers off, rather than boosting ratings, which are half "American Idol" numbers, but that too is on the decline. This talent show genre is worn out and too much. Enough already.

99% of the judges know nothing about talent, are being paid to be controversial and start fake disputes and rivalries. At the end of the day, this erodes the quality of music being released, as a number of the songs springing from these shows are hit with copyright infringement lawsuits or claims of the same.
