simon cowell manage to try another spin off of american idol and despite of the failure with his previous attempt american inventor . it follow the same guideline than american idol and you know and a host the three stereotypical judge and an obedient crowd for audience and and some entertaining contestant plus many more that be show only for their humiliation on national tv and that be actually what most of the public seem to dig anyway . even more and give it be an open talent contest and half of them be singer what give cowell a chance for a shot closer to the idol success . regis philbin do his job and he always manage to look a a nice guy and i do not think he contribute rise the show interest but be not responsible for the poor overcome either . move on . i may concede that the idol judge model settle what seem to be the holly grail of reality show contest and but that not magic . the chosen court must have some charisma . in the idol and it be this cowell quality that bring attention to the show . but do he manage to put together an attractive set of judge prescinding of himself . let see . let me start by david hasselhoff just because he be the only i know . at least when watch hasselhoff a couple of generation will feel some kind of comfort remind knight rider and baywatch . and it guarantee the show will be sell in germany too . pier morgan and who i do not have any clue who he be and take the role of the wise and balance judge complete his stereotype with a british accent that in america seem wrongfully to be synonymous of a high intellect . finally brandy . no and they be not drink any alcoholic liquor and but may be you will need it to digest why this completely unknown or at least very well forget singer ( that be how they introduce her ) be the judge that complete the trilogy . when hasselhoff and morgan be somehow appealing and brandy be some kind of hyper kinetic and overexcited tasmanian devil sit in the middle . at some point i felt bad for morgan whose face seem brandy preferred target for the uncontrollable spin of her arm and her annoy affection demonstration . in his modesty cowell doesn not realize that the success of his show be link to him be in front the camera rather than behind them . if simon be in this show not even the contestant would be necessary to nail it success . but this be not the case . clearly .
