Almost all these points are valid. I sort of disagree with the original songs thing, because i don't really care about original songs on the show,(most of the originals that have been sang on Idol suck anyway). But, i get it, it's nice that Idol contestants get the chance of sing their originals on national television. That's great for them.   So, i give you the win Idol watchers, Idol is definitely the superior singing competition.   With that said...    This part, i mean, uff...   And while The Voice has been increasingly forced to turn to professional musicians in their 30s who haven’t achieved stardom to round out its cast, American Idol is continuing its tradition of introducing us to fresh faces. To me, it’s just a whole lot more fun watching young artists blossom before your eyes. That’s why, if the two shows air simultaneously, I’m watching Idol and recording The Voice.   The blatant ageism there is sickening. "Old people" (people over 30 are old, i guess) don't deserve the chance to live the dream of sing on stage for millions of people?? Why?? Just because they are not "marketable" enough??    Yes, American Idol is superior on most aspects, but let's be happy that there is a singing show that gives people over 28 the chance of getting exposure, so more people can follow their musical careers, even if they never become "stars".

It really is depressing how few performances Voice contestants get these days as opposed to Idol contestants. If the problem is that NBC won’t give them any more episodes than they do, they can at least speed up the Battle and KO rounds so that the contestants will have more opportunities to perform later in the season.    Some ideas:   If they insist on pre-taped Playoffs, maybe get rid of the rehearsals and just squeeze all 20 contestants in (y’all have done it before), eliminating one from each team. Then, next week we get a Playoffs Pt. 2 where the Top 16 perform and another contestant is eliminated from each Team.   Then, when we finally get to the Lives, at least let the contestants who get called safe on results night do a little “victory song” like they do on Idol. Just so that results night isn’t an hour of filler with an Instant Save at the end.
