Ignore the bad reviews, this show is plenty good for a reality game show. Sure, you can nit pick quite a few things but overall it's got lots of fun moments. We even get a bit of tugging on the heart-strings with Sahyli's episode.
Some of the singers were so bad you actually suspect they were faking it somewhat, but I suppose it has to be that way. For the show to work we need to know right away if they are bad! As for the good singers, some were just OK, but quite a few blew the roof off with their amazing vocals. Respect...
As mentioned by others, there is one odd-ball episode in the middle that was actually the first episode to film.
I'm looking forward to season 2.
Update to my original review:
There is no way to tell if the singers are good or bad. Same issue with the UK version of this. I'm musically inclined and have been watching all the singing shows since Kelly Clarkson.
I think even if there WERE some clue they would just cut it out in editing. So you really just have to take this show for what it is.
