"BREAKING THE IDOL ADDICTION!"
I'm making a clean break - after years of American Idol "addiction," I'm going cold turkey after last night's broadcast, featuring the 12 men. I was already reeling from a limpid, lukewarm presentation from the 12 women on Tuesday night - two painful hours, searching between the endless commercials, for a spark of hope and stardom. And so, after just two contestants last night, I've packed it in - it's simply hopeless. I can do more reading, writing, anything, but succumb to the dregs of "talent" mined by the panel of Randy, Kara, Simon and Ellen, just for the sake of ratings...anyway, I'm publicly declaring my independence from slickly packaged, corporate-driven ratings with hacks and off-key, pitchy lounge singers!

I love American Idol, but I agree some of this year's singers aren't that great and well I really can't stand all the publicity the judges are getting. Maybe they should make a new twist and have past idol winners be the judges or something new. Mr. Flynn, are you sure that's the only reason you're not watching the show and not because the 70's singer was voted off the show?
It is surprising how out of all of the contestants going out for American Idol, there wouldn't be lots of magnificent singers in that one city. Although, they find out of the ordinary singers for entertainment as well.

Hey, just stumbled upon your blog. I think I'm about one week from NEVER WATCHING THIS SHOW AGAIN lol. Each season is worse than the last.

Hello there. Like OfficiallyMe, I too just came across your blog. I have to agree that the American Idol contestants this year aren't as good as many expected. In fact I don't believe they have much star quality, if any at all. And I like Ellen Degeneres, but seriously, her being a judge on the show is a big turn-off for me. Maybe it's because I like her being just on her talk show. She's good there.
Check out my blog, it's fairly new so I would like someone's opinion on it:
