“The difficulty in working with someone on a show like Idol or X Factor is they have an idea of what they think is cool in their heads, and it's important as a producer to maintain control of the session and not let it get side-tracked or chase too many rabbits. But it's also important to let the artist feel like their opinion matters, so that balance is difficult.” ThinkingFeelsImportantIdeasMatterShowsArtistDifficultSidesOpinionBalanceDifficultyFactorsProducersIdolsSessionRabbits Author:Ryan Tedder
“We're not encouraging idols other than on the TV show, you know and that's the wrong way to do it. If we had become famous from a contest show we'd be embarrassed in my generation. But if that's the benchmark then I thought well young people who want to be filmmakers, or musicians, or whatever are screwed. But maybe they're not because what they're doing is they're creating their own thing.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayWantWellsShowsYoungGenerationsTvsCreatingMusicianFilmmakerIdolsEmbarrassedTv ShowsContestsMy GenerationWrong Way Author:Billy Bob Thornton
“I’ve never watched an entire episode of "American Idol." It’s too mean. Why would anyone want to go on a show to be ripped apart? I don’t want to be tough with my singers, but I do want to tell them on "The Voice" that if you really want this, you’ll be kicked when you’re down. You have to be willing to roll with those punches. You have to really want it.” IfsWantMeanShowsVoiceWillingGoes OnToughSingersIdolsEpisodesRippedAmerican Idol Author:Christina Aguilera
