Reply To: "A Jewish Star"�Not Very Jewish

mitzvahgirl613:

Its funny how you state that we should be grateful for a Jewish outlet to showcase talent in a good way, when by your own admission you never watched the show! Who says its in a good way? No one has anything against promoting talent, the issue is the method being used.

Aside from the kiss-up-to-reality-TV-to-a-sickening-degree thingy goin on, it’s actually a very destructive show. The contestants who do not make it get ripped apart and the judges put each other down and act in a very un-Jewish way. It’s very destructive to self esteem and teaches very bad middos to kids. It does NOT “showcase their G-d given talent in a good way” it showcases it in a horrible way. In a way that belittles the youngsters that don’t make it. Even the judges rip each other apart.

Just a small example. In the last show one of the judges repeatedly mentions that he is missing his sisters wedding for this show (okaaaay) and the emcee (or whatever he is) tells the contestant each time, tell … nobody cares.

So not only are they making fun of the contenders they cant even get along, promote disrespect on a show which kids watch, put a dumb talent show above important things like a family wedding, I could go on and on….this is one show your kid should NOT watch.
