Just because were up there in age has nothing to do with what kind of music we grew up with. I can say when the Beatles came along in the early 60s I was on their soul train there was many stages of rock 'n roll from the British invasion to semi-heavy metal when Led Zeppelin came along psychedelic music, Jesus music, and everything in between. I think the reason why Idol and this is just my opinion is losing viewers and that is because season 10 peak the so-called pinnacle there will never be another season 10 and as far as I'm concerned Haley is the type of female artist that I was looking for with such greats like Janis Joplin Janis Ian the Wilson sisters Laura Branigan Pat Benatar all of these hard rock women pioneered the age of rock for women. So now Haley comes along and blows the crap out of everybody on season 10 this no need to look anymore no need to search out American Idol I have found her and we have found her name is Haley look no further. I don't know if this makes any sense but I think you understand what I mean.LOL definitely the year of the Rinehart.
Spoken like a true Halien!
I suspect that there are a variety of reasons, one being the bitter aftertaste of what Randy and J-Lo did to Haley; another being that there is now a glut of such shows, that ennui has set in.
