Yeah, saying American Idol can be mean is slamming it.

No, it's not. Slamming would be saying, "it's a terrible show that deserves to get canceled." She criticized it, but she didn't "slam" it.

Go Cher!

Legends stanning for Legend, I love it.

And yeah, it's a really great show.

LMFAO You need to learn what sarcasm means.

Cher is so right, TeamTheVOICE!

I gotta say it was smart of her to join this show...I'm really into it
I havent watched idol since Carrie Underwood won

I apologize PopBoi.

cher calling queen to xtina? omg IM DYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ikr, when I read that I was like "WHAT? Did she just call Xtina a queen?"

How I wish this show would also be aired in our country.

While I agree with Cher that The Voice is WAY better than Idol and that Idol could be mean at times (especially with Simon in the judges panel), I don't know how much we can actually praise The Voice and its judges for being "nice(r)" or "more positive." After all, the show is basically by invitation only, so the judges don't have to sit through bad performers to begin with. It can't be too much of a feat to be "nice" under those circumstances.

But still, The Voice >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Idol (and I'm sure also The X Factor's U.S. version).

dees

Idol is too heavily influenced by the tween girl demographic. The producers care more about being able to say "WE GOT 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 VOTES LAST NIGHT!" than they do about actually finding someone with legitimate talent and staying power.
