What is the purpose of the wall?

It's part of the gimmick I guess to make it more "unique".

Like, whatever.

I thought the same thing. They made such a big deal about the wall, and it really serves no purpose whatsoever.

Yeah, no point of it being there since they at all.

Would have been better if they had a huge wall of pictures (like it shows on the inside), and people vote to see who they want to perform. Or if they showed a big wall of pictures of the contestants, but we had no idea which one was performing until they were voted through. In the end you'd see the big wall, X's on the pics of those that didn't make it, etc.




"I'm so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis."

Isn't the wall showing pictures of the people voting? The contestants stand in front of the wall which is supposed to be the viewers at home as the judges. I hate the show, and even I can see the purpose of it.

The wall is symbolic. The real time aspect of it is what creates the suspense. In the Israeli version I saw, singers would be paired up and compete for the highest score. I'm not sure if that aspect of the show will carry over to this one. There was so much tension when the second performer came on. Sometimes they would fall just short of raising the wall and you would hear the whole audience sigh. On the other hand, the audience would just go nuts whenever the wall was raised, and the singer would have to continue to perform amid all the excitement and pressure. It really is a genius concept and I still don't think the majority of people really understand what this show could be if done right.

It's a shame that the premiere got such bad reviews because the Israeli version was so brilliant. A lot of the problems of this version (besides it being only 10 episodes) is that the US has different time zones, and the population size is much bigger, which means that peoples votes count for less.

Here is what I would change. Increase the number of episodes, have each show be one hour, air it live across the country, and increase the number of auditioners. Then this show can truly live up to its potential.

Besides for downloading and using the App, how do you get your picture up on the wall when you vote Yes? I'm signed into Facebook when I do it, and I never see my picture come up. I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong, or if you have to send your picture in to the show's website for preapproval?

Unless it's just that there's SO many people voting that they can only get a small percentage of people's pictures up. Then I understand. Just want to make sure I'm not forgetting/ omitting something!

Thanks :)
