BWW ASKS: VOICE vs. IDOL: Who Wins This Battle Round?by Matt Tamanini - April 25, 2014Now that we've had a week of live show competition between NBC's THE VOICE and Fox's AMERICAN IDOL, I am reminded what it is about each show that I like, and what it is that I don't. Since day one of the Blind Auditions, it has been clear that the talent on THE VOICE dwarfs that of IDOL, as it has for a number of years. As I make very clear in my AMERICAN IDOL recaps each week, I am not delusional in thinking that the vocal abilities of the IDOL finalists in any way rival those of their VOICE counterparts. In fact, early in the season, I ventured to guess that only three or four of IDOL's Top-12 would even get a chair turn, let alone four. That fact notwithstanding, for me, IDOL is still a much more satisfying and entertaining television experience.

BWW Asks: SMASH Creator Theresa Rebeck Calls Season 2 'Complete Disaster'; Who's to Blame?by Caryn Robbins - May 1, 2013In a recent series of emails this week, SMASH creator Theresa Rebeck called the show's sophomore season a 'complete disaster.' Had SMASH already hit a 'point of no return' even before new showrunner Josh Safran took the reins, or was it Safran himself who steered a show, once brimming with potential, in the entirely wrong direction.
