Why don't they do one with entire bands and all genres of music instead of just who can sing a pop song karaoke the best?

In the end, I will probably watch it.


Hard to abandon ship at this point


Bring it. I am easily entertained.

They would need to grab my attention in episode 1. That's about all I'm willing to watch.

I think that this one is best left in the grave.

the last panel of judges were the best they've ever had and they still ended the show. no idea why they would want to start over now.

The Voice came in and left Idol in the dust. Will continue to do so. Superior talent and coaching. Quicker format and no dumbass theme nights.

B/c ABC probably needs some summer programming and figured picking up Fox's discarded American Idol would be cheap and easy.

I don't think it's going to run in the summer.

They are saying it's going to run on Sunday nights during the broadcast TV season.

They also got Seacrest back on board. They moved the show to New York explicitly for that reason and he's agreed to do it.

I read that Kelly Clarkson will likely be a judge.

I don't watch full seasons of any of them, but I love watching the good auditions on YouTube. On that basis, I'd rank them:

Voice USA
Britains Got Talent
AGT
Voice UK
Xfactor UK
Xfactor
American Idol

How does a show "reboot" when every season is already a reboot. I don't get it.

That would actually be fantastic. Somewhat of a country-wide Battle of the Bands. Would definitely watch if they didn't muck it up with the sob story bs

Just make it about music. It would be great. I'd watch it. Get famous musicians/producers to help the bands and the winner gets a tour and a contract.

I prefer America's Got Talent and American Ninja Warrior for summer light watching.

AGT has a good mix of singing and other talents.
