Alter Ego is silly, sure, but on a network that airs The Masked Singer, it feels downright dignified. And the contestants’ stories are worth watching. Read full review

This Fox effort at least gets points for its novel, wackadoodle premise. Read full review

A wacky premise and judging panel (will.i.am, Alanis Morissette, Nick Lachey, and the “musician, innovator” Grimes) just disguise the same schmaltz and strained belting that have been common on network TV ever since American Idol premiered in 2002. Read full review

Generally, the judges are a problem for this show: Morissette, Lachey, and host Rocsi Diaz seem benevolently disengaged, while will.i.am and Grimes are enthusiastic in a flailing, exaggerated way. ... “Alter Ego” tries to have it both ways — introducing us on intimate terms to people who insist that they’re best understood through their music, and, in sharing that personal backstory, making it impossible for us to see them the way they want to be seen.

A show so inane that the pendulum swings the other way and forces you to think anthropologically about how we got here. Read full review

There is and isn’t something to like about this show.

The quality of the music and the judging is all over the place— sometimes good, but as often very bad. The idea of putting a pleasant face on a vocal performance is quite old, the Irish used to have performers hide behind screensThere is and isn’t something to like about this show.

The quality of the music and the judging is all over the place— sometimes good, but as often very bad.

The idea of putting a pleasant face on a vocal performance is quite old, the Irish used to have performers hide behind screens and had a person stand in front just to look pleasant for the audience.

While I can see why some shows want us to judge the quality of the singing apart from the appearance, this is both good and bad. It’s good that singers who don’t have superstar looks get a shot to be heard, but aren’t the producers at the same time saying “your looks aren’t good enough — you’d never make it on your own without our tech!” What are these performers going to do when the avatar is gone? Will just this show change their careers forever? Don’t think so. Frankly I think this show reinforces the very biases it pretends to condemn.… Expand
