I have no problem saying that Steven Tyler has been a real disappointment. I thought that he would bring a witty perspective and also have some insights based on his own knowledge of music, singing and performing. Suffice it to say, he has not even come close!
What I have come to really dislike, is his incessant use of profanities every week. He knows that they will be bleeped by the producers because they are inappropriate, yet he continues to do it as though it’s a kind of game. It doesn’t take brains, talent or class to just throw out obscenities in lieu of real critiques. It’s the ultimate cop-out.
Shame on you, Steve Tyler! You could have made this real, given these young kids the benefit of your own experience. Instead you chose to trash this opportunity.

He is a kind person. did everyone forget that? He sways with the music the contestants sings. We do have Jimmy Lovine to do that what u wanted Tyler 2 do. I did not like it with Simon. Lots of ppl did not tune in because of his well, meaness/cruelty towards the contestants. LOTZ OF THEM. And I don’t understand it when ppl cannot accept Tyler because of his f word. The f word was a lot better than Simon’s BULLINESS. No wonder schools have hgher rate of problems with bulliness. That is how I feel. The f word is just a word; it is his actions that speaks a thousands words of kindness.
