Here's an interesting interpretation for the "kinder, gentler" route that American Idol's judges are taking:
"And the horrific shooting in Arizona earlier this month raised our collective consciousness about the power of aggressive speech, and whether taking the overall tone of conversation down a notch might not be such a bad idea. Even when it comes to telling people they can't sing."
Prizes reflective of the mood of the times?
According to the article found at
http://www.salon.com/entertainment/tv/2011/01/20/kinder_gentler_american_idol/index.html
the selection of judges for this reality show was informed by the need to recreate an image, not just of a show, but of a country.
