Memo to Stars: Don’t Judge ‘American Idol’
Quote:It’s become Hollywood and the music industry’s favorite new parlor game: star casting reality TV talent competition judges. But with an increasing number of beaten-down A-listers limping away from these judges tables with bruised reputations and dim career prospects—albeit a fair amount richer—and the shows themselves barely seeing a benefit, it may be time to call game over.
...Aguilera left The Voice for the current cycle to focus on her music (she’ll reportedly be back in the fall). That album, Lotus, posted her lowest first-week sales ever. The only single to make any kind of dent from the record, “Your Body,” peaked at a paltry number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. She suffered through the spate of negative press about her so-called bitchiness and being overweight while judging The Voice presumably so that her music career would benefit when she left. Clearly, that didn't happen.
I think working and successful celebrities are starting to catch onto the sense that the notoriety they get from these shows, may actually negatively impact their primary career..... If they do, they don't want to risk looking bad by alienating an Idol's fan base with a negative critique, it might have real life impact to their careers...
I don't know-it hasn't hurt J-Lo and it probably gave a boost to Aerosmith at that time.I can't see why it will have any negative affect on Keith Urban's career.It certainly hasn't hurt Adam Levine or Blake Shelton to be on The Voice-and its probably helped Shakira
It remains to be seen how it affects the two divas currently in Idol.Alot of people just don't like divas acting like divas..
