Yes, the show does “play” too much with the choices. I think they can’t possibly have picked the best ones to get into the top 20 because they really aren’t that good. Almost none of them have any spark.

Only a few idols grow during the live shows, and that is my favorite thing about the show, insecure people who know they have a little talent, who thrive on the work they do on the show and grow in self image. Caleb is definitely doing it this season. Reminds me of the growth of David cook. I’m sorry cookie didn’t become a huge star. I hope Caleb fares better.

And may I suggest that Jonny and all check out the Voice. This week, most of the duets were so good I would have paid money to see them. The judges are truly funny. It is a joy to watch that show. The talent is much higher, mostly. They explain their choices better, though Harry does very well on idol too. I miss you guys when I watch. It’s on mon and tues nights.

Only able to catch DVR versions of Voice, but agree, the talent there is head and shoulders above most Idol contestants. Also, like the banter of the judges better, and the actual development and critiques of their own choices.

The battle rounds force them to make a choice between their own selections which would never happen on Idol....

Yes, Yaelle, you have my vote for an Voice Thread.... :) :)
