American Idol fans want the judges to get tough on their criticisms.

After Sunday’s show, which saw Lucy Love and Nutsa knocked out of the top 12, viewers took to social media to decry the lack of constructive criticism offered by judges Katy Perry, 38, Luke Bryan, 46 , and Lionel Richie, 73.

Season eight runner-up Adam Lambert, 41, was the evening’s performance mentor and viewers said they felt he did a better job of ‘helping’ and ‘criticizing’ than the judges.

“I’m so tired of these judges being cheerleaders and not honest judges because there’s no way this version of the dancing queen is as good as they made it look #AmericanIdol” , wrote a fan, referring to MaryBeth Byrd’s performance or the ABBA classic.

Another fan commented on Haven Madison’s version of Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On a Prayer, writing, “I don’t think Haven was as good as the judges claim.” Thoughts?’

Criticism: American Idol fans want the judges to get tough on their criticisms. After Sunday’s broadcast, viewers took to social media to decry the lack of constructive criticism offered by judges Katy Perry, 38, Luke Bryan, 46, and Lionel Richie, 73.

Many viewers disagreed with this assessment, but others thought it was fair.

A fan put it this way. “I think it was ridiculous and the judges are getting more and more obnoxious. This show has become hard to watch.

“Judges are praising everyone,” said another. “It was a stretch to say she’s ready for stardom.”

Yet another called for the return of the man who brought the show to the United States.

‘Anyone else missing Simon on American Idol? These judges don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Simon, 63, currently has his hands full as a judge on America’s Got Talent, which is set to launch its 18th season on May 30.

The sometimes acidic music director often balanced comments from judges who were uncomfortable being forthright in front of the live audience.

“These judges are useless. wrote an armchair reviewer.

Lucy Love was in the top 12, but didn’t make the most recent cut

“I miss Simon – he could be tough but at least he was honest and tried to push them to be better.” Katy, Luke and Lionel tell everyone they’re awesome no matter what.

“Judges fear boos and backlash to give more direct and honest feedback,” said another. “But candidates need to hear it to learn, grow and improve.”

Many fans were disappointed that some of the more recent seasons seemed to have been geared towards country music singers, which resulted in less diversity.

The show’s producers may want to listen to fan feedback.

American Idol topped the ratings at 8 p.m. with 5.13 million viewers.

That number was down nearly 4.5% from the previous week, which included a 13% drop in the 18-49 target demographic, according to TV Series Finale.
