While it tries hard to find new ground in the singing competition genre, the series is an unsuccessful combination of the highly produced spectacle of an American Idol finals and the vitriol and listlessness that mark its audition rounds. Read full review

A cacophony of celebrity ego, bombastic production, and misguided cruelty, The Four purports to reinvent the singing-competition TV series for a modern audience and industry but is actually the worst kind of derivative: the kind with the irritating braggadocio of thinking it’s fresh. And, because it bears repeating, it doesn’t even showcase much good singing! Read full review

Much like a blatant knock-off of "The Voice," FOX just wanted a new and alternative vibe of singing competition that would make the upcoming revival of "American Idol" (which got picked up by ABC) look blush.

But now you have a host who's no Ryan Seacrest, an iconic rap entrepreneur who changes his name a lot from Puffy to Puff Daddy to one of the most godawful judge on the show. An Grammy-winning rapper who now has a cute son and the only good judge. A singer who's
well... "All About That Bass" And some guy who just tries his damned hardest to make an impression of the OG mean judge Simon Cowell. But this is no Idol, this is The Four. Yeah, good luck with the name since FOX was bought out by Disney. As Disney would say to Fox a la Star Wars: A New Hope "No Fox, I'm Am Your Father."

As it turns out, The Four is doomed to fail. It's only a six-week competition, so that means that if the smoke is clear American Idol is rebooting for a new generation and The Voice looks to come back after the Olympics, I think it's safe to say that screw it. If this show's not gonna work, then blow it up. I mean, cancel the series. This could be my pick for the worst new show and awkward name of the new FOX.

This show is nothing new. Young up-and-coming aspiring artists trying to reach the ultimate prize: a member of iHeartRadio's "On The Verge" artist and a recording contract with Republic Records. Sounds good on paper, but it was a like a PR stunt gone bad when this announcer for FOX wants to hype me about this show (once I started plugging my earbuds) so many times on the radio. But as a Idol fan myself, good season or not, I urged everyone to see "American Idol." The Four ain't be winning any awards once this turd of a reality singing competition is done for.… Expand
