I completely agree. Tonight especially there is a weird vibe.
I think a lot of it is the fault of the judges. There are too many of them, their comments are redundant, and when all of their comments are negative, it really drags the show down.
The show is in desperate need of some Paula-like ditzyness! The chemistry is off.
Ellen is dead weight! Everyone is asking "why are you here?" She's the Admiral Stockdale of Idol judges :)
