American Idol Judges Diss The Voice, Weigh in on Male Champions
by Hilton Hater at .Oh, it is on between American Idol and The Voice.
During their panel discussion at yesterday's Television Critics Association winter press tour session, judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler left little doubt that they don't care much for NBC's singing competition, which gets underway on February 5.
Among the disses lobbed at The Voice by this trio and/or Fox executives:
“It’s a compliment to Idol. We’re not hiring a lot of people from The Voice to be on our show.” - Fox reality president Mike Darnell on Kelly Clarkson joining The Voice as a mentor
"It was almost like second chance people; it wasn’t some new artist.” - Randy Jackson on The Voice champion Javier Colon having had a contract with Capitol Records
“This is the show that produces the stars.” - Producer Ken Warwick
“We will never, ever rip of Star Trek like The Voice did with the chairs.” - Jackson
Finally, Randy responded to a question about why four consecutive Idol champions have had a penis, saying: “May the best talent win. If it’s another boy this year that’s the most talented person, that’s who should win... Look at the success of Justin Bieber; there are a lot of girls who vote for boys, that’s just what happens.”
Which singing competition do you like best?

If I were to vote I would pick the voice they judge off what they see and not what they hear american idol would not pick a really ugly person but the voice would because they vote on what they hear

Randy has more eeenripxce in the music business than Jennifer. His opinion matters and J-LO should not be interupting and dis-agreeing argumentively while he is voicing his opinion. I happen to agree with Randy on those he didnt care for. I also was part of the audience that was not moved and quite unhappy with J-Los rudness. Just because she sings doesnt make her opinion matter more. Get off the pedastel J-Lo. Randy knows what hes talking about. If i quit watching the show it would be because of her.
Love you three cant wait for tonight .
The Voice is much more enjoyable than American Idol. The Voice is new school. American Idol is old school. The Voice viewers and judges vote based on talent not looks.
