You know, I grew up on American Idol as well from the very beginning, but I'll have to say at least right now The voice is a little more entertaining. I do feel you the competitive nature of you know each of the judges versus each other Definitely adds that level of entertainment and of course they like to be goofy on there, which is great American Idol definitely seems to be a little more, you know, like you said, unfortunately fake I'm at 100 well thank visually back
