That's the way I watch it. I watch the trainwrecks which are FREAKING hilarious---you get to see the most DELUSIONAL people in the world: "I'm a GOOD! I will prove Randy, Simon and that b*tch Paula--I will be the greatest EVER!" I mean, even their parents are delusional and should've told them ages ago, "Unh...honey, you like...suck. Maybe you should get into cheese-making or something."

And it does all seem so artificial. I'd always thought singers came out of it on their own, that the cream would eventually rise to the top and reveal themselves. But, I read stories of famous people all the time where they are or were told by big execs to change their look, etc. to make them appeal to an audience, so those who made it without AI are still as artifically molded as they are on that show.
