You Tube

I don't get why a TV show, who needs ratings in order to exist would take videos off a website that basically promotes them.  In the long run people will watch your program.  It's free anyway.  

Now I know it has to do with ad dollars and putting that focus on the show, but most people who watch American Idol watch it already.  I think it's  now a showcase for karaoke singers, but occasionally I like to glance and see if I should take a look at the show this season.

From the clip and what I saw last night.  I'll pass on this season.  I'll check in when the stars come in.
