American Idol Fan?

Last year Taylor Hicks won over kathrine McPhee. It appears that they both are doing well with recording contracts and Chris Daughtry is also releasing his first album here soon. I agree he was such a great rising star I am sure we've not seen the last of him. Your also right about Simon, he has a pretty good judge of performance however; I believe all of the judges have taken "Mean Pills" this season with their rude and unkind remarks on appearance etc. I don't feel that is necessary. "You can't sing, and the answer is NO" is sufficient. But then that doesn't get the ratings I suppose. LOL Thank you for your input. J

Really? WOW that is a shame that you have to allow that. I too agree that with absolutely no evidence of anay singing talent you are just looking for your 5 mins of fame. However if they have a large butt, or bad hair, or dress funny, I am not sure that needs to be the center of their comments. These are just young kids... that could really mess with their heads at that age. YES they need coaching (Singing) but the personal attacks cross the line I think?

You're right. It doesn't get the ratings when they respond politely, but how rude is it to present yourself as a singer when there is no evidence of talent whatsover. Also, when Larry King interviewed Ace, Bucky and Kelly Pickler they all said that they had to sign a release giving American Idol the right to humiliate them if there was anything at all about that that was deemed commercially exploitable. And, this season there certainly appeared to be many who fell into that category.

yes when you see the end results and look at how successful they've been it speaks highly of the process doesn't it? I think it will be around for some time to come.

Well said. THat is exactly what I am feeling about the show too. I am a loyal fan but I am feeling that they are banking on us and showing us the worst not the best and way too much of it. I can't wait until the auditions are over and they get down to serious business. Thank you for your input.

ahhh a girl after my own heart. He is pretty cute and although rude at times he is usually right on, on his judging decisions. Tonight was painful, good lord it amazes me how these people act all surprised when they can't carry a tune in a bucket! and what about the people that encourage them are they deaf? or just love them "THAT" much. I am with you... I think the intensity is worse than any super sport.

I can't thibk of his name either but I saw him (The one with the beard and the camo jacket), I bet he will do very well.
