Celebrity Duets
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
It's time for Simon Cowell to take a break. He's great on AMERICAN IDOL but he should stick to what he does best. All of these IDOL hybrid shows he's producing are simply second-rate. Tonight's debut of CELEBRITY DUETS is proof of that. The show pairs celebs known for their singing up with celebs not known for carrying a tune. I'll admit, the results are somewhat amusing. But this show is a rip of AMERICAN IDOL, just as AMERICA's GOT TALENT was. Same-looking intro. Same-looking set. Two male judges. One female judge. It's all getting bland. I think Cowell may be shooting himself in the foot with all these shows. If there are so many AMERICAN IDOL-like shows airing year-round, who needs to watch the real thing come January?
