When I watch shows like this, it interlines the fact that Saturday night entertainment is no longer aimed at me as a demographic.
I find the sheer intensity of it all hard to take - and that includes the vibrant colours, the set designs, the costumes (what drugs are these people taking!!!) and of course the hysterical nonsense from the 'celebrity' judges, and the endless whooping and shrieking from the audience.
I watched ten minutes last night for the first time, and stopped because I feared that my retinas were going to be scorched beyond repair, to say nothing of simultaneous horrific damage to my highly valuable ears, and my brain's synapses.
Not for me - but I do understand the appeal.
