The Four: Battle for Stardom

Everyone is hating on this show but honestly, I think it's good, better than a lot of other competitions out their. All the current one just feel so boring and old, this brought a new flavour to the mix, which I loved. I would give it a chance because unlike other competitions, there are people who can actually sing and perform right from the start.

I did not like this show at all. That is saying a lot because I like most singing shows. This one does not connect with me at all. The show opens with the four contestants already in their chairs, so I don't care about them from the beginning because I don't know them. When the judges don't choose the singer who want to challenge one of the four, it is a piss off to us watching because we just enjoyed them and want to see what the four have to offer. The viewer really doesn't care what these judges think of the four. We want to judge them for ourselves. I did not like the judges at all except for Mehgan. There really is no connection to the contestants. Idol, Xfactor, Voice are shows which get the viewer invested. This show did the total opposite.

I agree with junkmailvenice. No way to get invested with The Four after a short group performance. Audiences like to judge for themselves. This show won't last. The judges are okay with the exception of Diddy. He comes off as a jerk.

Between Diddy's temper tantrums and Walk trying too hard to be the "Simon" truth speaker of the show, the show was just weird. There really wasn't anything constructive said to any of the contestants; the only comments from Diddy was either you blew it or I like it. Fergie was ok as a host, but not great. Megan and Khalid were ok to watch but still not much advice for anyone and Walk seemed to be acting out a scripted role. I just don't see how this show can last.

As a talent/singing show fanatic, the moment I heard of this show I was excited to say the least. I thought the concept was good, despite a couple of flaws such as the unfairness towards the contestants who start early. However, that definitely wasn't the worst part. Where should I start? The horrible judges, the horrible contestants, the drama or just everything in-between? P. Diddy is an awful judge, he doesn't see talent even if it was shoved in his face. It's so infuriating to see him let go good artists just for the sake of the worse ones sitting on one of those chairs. He tries too hard to be Simon Cowell, yet it just isn't working. Meghan Trainor is even a worse judge. I don't think she does anything at all, to be honest. She just sits there, looks at them, claps or cries. That's literally all that she does, no exaggeration. Now I had no idea who Charlie Walk was. However, he was nearly the only sane person on the table of the judges. He's the only one that knows when someone is a bad singer, the other judges are oblivious. DJ Khaled adds humor and entertainment to the show. Although he doesn't make such a great judge, he still is quite entertaining to watch. On the other hand, the contestants are absolutely horrendous themself. They are average AT BEST. As a reviewer said, they wouldn't last 1 second in another singing show. I thought the crowd would be smarter than the judges. Yet, the crowd decision half of the time is bad. This show is an absolute joke.
