Why does the show highlight so many bad singers during the audition rounds? Because that's what made "American Idol" popular. While audiences eventually got drawn in by the competition between good singers, it's the terrible voices who first pulled in the viewers. Watching Simon Cowell criticize them was, at least in the early years, sometimes more entertaining than watching people who could actually sing. Bad singers may seem like actors who are planted, and that's somewhat true. During the audition rounds, the judges don't show up until a few days in, after producers have screened and filtered through the massive group. Only the best and worst get called back and eventually get face time with the judges, so producers ensure those terrible people face Simon, Paula, Randy, and now Kara. What is the BEST claim that could be made from this paragraph?

People love watching American Idol

Bad singers make it to American Idol to help the show's ratings

Everyone loves Paula Abdul

The judges like hearing only the good singers
