this person is pissed her choice didn’t win and that’s pretty much all you need to know.

I’ve spent somewhere in the vicinity of 800+ hours watching “American Idol” over the past 13 seasons

Phew. Whatta waste of time.

I don’t watch it and don’t care for it.
But its just like any other thing. If it continues to make money, they will continue to make it.
If they stop it, a vacuum will be created in that market and ten new things will be there trying to fill it.

Inexplicably, the current combo of country star Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and jazz singer Harry Connick Jr. have a strangely alluring, dare I say charming quality.

i agree! this panel of judges is as good as the first panel... all that junk in between made me less interested in watching on a regular basis...

What is this "American Idol" he's referring to?

Seriously, if they didn't run that extra minute into the next hour, I'd never tune into it.

Or I am confusing it with some other show I don't watch?

Oops, it's on Fox. Fox runs the local news at 10PM...

Because the American people are stupid enough already.

5) We here at MTV are in development on a series that is exactly like it, but features full-frontal nudity.

Just a bunch of people screaming on stage to try to win something that’s already been decided before hand.

The current panel is pretty good, although I thought Steven Tyler added a lot and was honest.

I didn’t watch much this year, it’s getting old.

I think the most important thing to have a great sendoff year would be MORE TOP TALENT. I can’t believe there isn’t better talent out there.

Or, let’s do a battle of the bands show. Get a couple dozen top bands and let the bands compete with original songs - now that would be a hit.

After next season? Why not now? I cannot stomach what passes for music, and especially ‘singing’ these days. It’s nothing but moaning, groaning, screeching, and wailing. It all sounds so much the same the voting has to be based on personal popularity.
I haven’t watched or listened for years.

American idol had one, and ONLY ONE, good part. That was when Simon savaged no talent losers during the auditions. Once the auditions were over there was nothing left to watch on the show for that year. Then they booted Simon off and there was nothing left to watch at all.

Now this chick wants some hip-hop thug to win? If I wanted to see thugs I’d go down to the prison (or the NBA)

And (while I’m ranting) no musician in the last 50 years has left much of a mark on anything. The songs get played, the songs get old. next!

Well, in addition to being an idiot, you've managed to blow nearly 34 days of your life, right down the drain.

Are you proud?

And just why the hell would you think the rest of the country would give a rat's ass?

I watched seasons 2 and 3, then lost interest. They should not have raised the age limit beyond 24, I thought. The whole idea was to give young talent a chance at exposure, I thought. And the older people are the more likelythey are to have crap in their pasts, criminal records and so forth.

At the other end of the spectrum they can be as young as 16. If I were a parent I would be uncomfortable with my 16 y/o going to stay in a house with older kids who were also rivals. I would try to convince them to wait til they were 18.
