User Reviews

Tyra is over-the-top phony. Too loud and it's all-about-her instead of the stars.

So completely disappointed that they changed hosts. Liked her on America's Got Talent but she sucks on this show and kinda ruins it for me. Her ridiculous outfits try to compete with the stars and so does she. Kick her off now please. BRING BACK TOM (and ERIN). He was the perfect host. Don't know if I will watch the season now. Executives and producers, you royally screwed up. FIX IT.
