Anoop was the best guy.

Tatiana was brutal. I don't know how she made it to the final 36.

How are they filling out the final 12, only 9 get through via voting. Is it judges picks?

This is my favorite show. What can I say, I'm a 42 yo loser.

Paula has got some serious speach issues. She staggers and stumbles over her words like she can't think and talk at the same time.
Back in the mid or late 80s Paula and her band were in bad accident involving
their bus. It killed the driver and fuk'd her up pretty bad. I belive she has to take
alot of pain medication just to get thru the day.

Wasn't the bus crash thing Gloria Estaban?
Paula is just overmedicated. Sometimes almost lucid, usually just hammered.

The new judge is waaaay to defensive and takes everything personal. Why did they bring in a 4th judge anyway?
So Paula has some actual competition and has to say more than 4 words per episode.

Anoop can sing but he doesnt have the look or style to win this thing.


Danny Gokie is on another level compared to anyone else on the show this year. It all comes down to voting so the best person likely will not win.

Its nothing short of a lock that Danny will be the most successful of any contestant this season. Hes got the look, the voice, the backstory, and the ability to sell CDs and concerts. I cant see anyone wanting to go see an Anoop Desai concert.

I think the new judge is there so that they can eventually can Paula and it will be less noticeable. She seems like she is on the verge of tears with everything she says and could snap at any second.

They should have hired Jewel back as a judge and replaced Paula entirely. The one episode last year that she was on was great. She was like Simon Lite.

I watched the first few episodes but just can't watch it anymore this year. I got burned out on it last year when I followed religiously. I think I just watch it every other year to keep the AI OD away.

That's what I like about this year; they've halved the viewing times compared to last year.

I hated last year: It took me an hour and a half to get home from work, watch AI for two hours (mostly wife forcing me too at that point), then bed. Now they cut out the bullshit.

I don't watch it but a contestant from the town in which I live (Lufkin, TX) is still alive and singing on American Idol. Not bad for a town of 32K people...
