“American Idol” has become clumsy and this year’s auditions were excruciating because very few of the triumph-over-adversity stories were well-told. One of my favorite under-appreciated Burnett shows was “The Contender,” in which the opening episode introduced a group of aspiring boxers and in almost no time gave us simple, primal reasons to root for all of them. That’s what “The Voice” did. We had a couple recovering addicts and grieving children Wholesale Buccaneers Jerseys , but most of these stories were far more basic: A couple wants to get their own house. A girl is kinda homeless and needs a break. A teenager is shy. “Idol” pushes too hard sometimes. With these two hours, Burnett was almost graceful in just letting viewers relate and being done with it. Good idea not to show bad auditions. I guess if you have Blake Shelton, Cee-Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine, you don’t waste their time with clowns? That’s nice. Everybody we saw on Tuesday could sing on some level. It’s completely unfair to compare these over-produced stage performances with the shout-y a cappella performances we get on “Idol” auditions Cheap Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys , but this was a good showcase for some talented people. The “Blind Audition” part of the premise is a crock. The blind audition format is what’s keeping the “X Factor” producers from suing Burnett, so it’s kinda important. The judges sit in comfortable red chairs facing away from the singers. If they like somebody, they push a button, the chairs swing around and the words “I Want You” light up. It makes for good drama, seeing how many judges will buzz in for each contestant and watching the singers’ happy faces when they know they’re guaranteed to be chosen. But that’s all it is. Drama. Don’t pretend it makes the show more “enlightened” than it is. For one thing Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys , the producers somehow managed not to let the ugly singers into the room for Tuesday’s premiere.
