The whole format of this show has gone way down hill!! When it first came out it was about the talent and they were honestly looking for the best candidates. All of this horsing around by Katey Perry is an absolute turn off. It seems like they will accept anyone for fear of hurting their feelings. The worst part is almost everyone on auditioning has a sob story and it’s turned into a pity party. They have all the wrong judges on here. Every year we put it on to see if it’s going to be better, but it just gets worse.
