S's TV Reviews

I love the show once the auditions are over and usually like some of the auditions however...last night was ridiculous. Is this entertainment at the "singers?" expense? Do they really need to let them keep going as they embarrass themselves in front of millions of viewers. I even felt bad for guest judge Jewel. She was obviously appalled at the laughing and giggling from the other judges as the person auditioning went on and on. I got the feeling that she wanted to just slide under the table and wished she had never agreed to be a part of what Simon now seems to think is "entertainment." Simon's comment was "I don't even know why I am a part of this show anymore." Does he want us to believe that he has no say in who they parade in front of him? Is this show promoting the idea that it is okay to degrade people who think they may actually have talent even when it is obvious that they don't?
