The show faltered last season in its effort to create a star, Newsday pop music critic Glenn Gamboa says. Some of the changes “show they’re trying to make the show back into a guaranteed superstar creator the way it was in the Carrie Underwood years,” he says. “This year, with (Season 9 winner) Lee DeWyze not doing very well (in record sales), they kind of feel they need to bump that up, or else why are people watching the show?” (USA Today, 1.14.11)
As for the Aerosmith rocker: “I think Steven Tyler should make for good television. I think he’s very opinionated. He also has a really long music history and a really good idea of what it takes to be a success. He reinvented Aerosmith many times to make them more successful and more in tune with what was happening with the music of the time. He knows what it’s like to be a survivor and to work hard and put everything you have into being successful. … I think he’ll be fun to watch and it will be interesting to see what he says.”
