Unhelpful Feedback Quotes

There's a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.

Thank you for your input; I can tell you are struggling towards being interesting.

I'm totally fine with people criticizing me in shows... people like this show, or don't; you're entitled to your opinion. But when people are criticizing you as a person, I have to say it's a little bit different.

I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.

I think the worst professional advice I've received... I feel I've been lucky in that I've gotten a lot of wonderful guidance, but I remember - and I would never do this to someone - I remember going into a manager's office, the manager I had in New York, and this was way back when. And she said to me, immediately, "You should never wear striped T-shirts. You look much bigger than you are."

My pet peeve is when people criticize things when they're just trying to have a conversation.

You have to separate the negative into two categories - half of it is sensible, constructive things that has made us better. But half of the negative online is negative for the sake of being negative, and it's important for us to remember it's okay they don't like us, and sometimes there's no point in engaging in that.

I try not to engage with those people who leave nasty comments.

I don't mind positive criticism, but when it is negative and personal, it is quite hard.

Yea, there is no way you can get away from critics. It's all over the net. Sometimes it's useful to read things, good or bad. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it stupid because they say stupid things.

If I saw negative comments I tried to look past them.

The worst professional advice I've received. "If you were the last person on earth, I would never choose you to be a movie star."

I'm harsh on myself. But let's be honest: I'm not as harsh as the online one-star critic who says, 'This book is boring and stupid and smells like poo.'
