‘American Idol’ Brings back Idol Arena, and It Lacks Pizzazz
American Idol has talent, but it didn't present it in the best way possible.
The stress of Hollywood week is already at a high for the 144 American Idol hopefuls, but the return of the Idol Arena makes it far worse. The Idol Arena is essentially a day-long talent show featuring the best of the best, featuring anxiety-ridden teens and twenty-somethings hoping they can make their dreams come true. The setup features the singers sitting face-to-face inside the Orpheum Theatre as they painstakingly await to sing. Listening to their competition. Analyzing who is moving forward based on the brief judges' feedback. Agonizing over whether they're good enough to be there.
