• 'Rising Star' Review: ABC Reality Competition Focuses on Commercials and Gimmicks, Not Singers

    The music competition reality show is a bit of a dying art. American Idol, long a ratings juggernaut for FOX has seen rapid declines in ratings for seasons now, culminating in this year's barely-watched finale. Even newcomers like The Voice and The X Factor US faced slipping ratings this year, causing the latter to get cancelled after just three seasons. But, ABC is looking to change all of that with Rising Star, which premiered Sunday night (June 22).
