Sure, the "Idol" ratings have already exceeded industry expectations, not to mention last year's records. But a recent comment on this blog still makes me wonder what drives the show's appeal.
Most of the "Idol" virgins who watched Tuesday's premiere with me were lost on the whole car-crash phenomenon -- so bad that it's good -- that insiders say makes the audition rounds popular. Even I am a little critical of the show's early stages, and I likely wouldn't be watching if it wasn't for this blog.
So who IS enjoying this month-long bad karaoke high? And why?
And what's up with these phenomenal ratings? If they hold, the show's sixth season could see unprecedented popularity. What, if anything, has to happen for viewers to finally become jaded?
Weigh in with your thoughts. That means you, Brian Dunkleman.
