Ok, I’ve always suspected Idol was rigged but this year it just feels so blatant, what with the Judges save scam, the Judges wild card round earlier this season and all of the Judges cheerleading and prodding to get the final two that they want Adam Vs. Danny and it seems like the votes are suspiciously giving the results they want. Everything feels scripted, where are the surprises this year? I really wanted the audience to give a big FU to the Judges and give Adam and Gokey the boot this week. How priceless would that have been? To have their Judges save scam backfire on them? But I’m officially through, there is no theme week that will get me interested again. I think they are all terrible and act like they are going to a funeral with their lame ballads. As someone on another blog said, what’s the point of having a Theme week if they don’t force the artist to sing in that particular style. But then the Judges encourage the contestants to “make the song their own,” which is good in theory but do we really need to hear Disco classics turned in luke-warm elevator and karaoke music? My only hope is that the old adage – “be careful what you wish for,” comes back and bite the Judges on the butt. I can’t see this crew having a successful Idol Tour and I can’t see any of these people having a successful career beyond maybe an initial top 10 debut hit. Remember last year when they hyped and pimped David Archuletta to the finals? Or how they snubbed Taylor Hicks for Katherine McPhee? Look how well that worked out. But that’s it, I’m officially done with Idol this year.
in addition to what you've said, Adam is a professional in my opinion. he's had some broadway experience or something to that effect, and you can tell. i don't think he should have even been allowed on AI. i think the judges want it to get down to Adam vs Allison, and i was hoping Allison would go home tonite to upset the judges' plans. we still have several weeks left, so we'll see.
Anybody and everybody has a right to enter American Idol – Adam has been trying to make it on his own and he's very good – atleast he's worked for this and he entertains and whether he wins or not he's definitely put on show and obviously you've been enterained by him as well.
If they ever name the show, "Amateur Idol", then maybe someone being "professional" would have some bearing on the issue. The fact is, most of the kids on the show have experience, most of them have been paid for their skills. The youngest one, Allison, won $50,000 in a singing contest. As has been stated many times, the only rule is that they can not have a singing contract while they are on the show. That is how it has been since year 1, and since year 1, there have always been kids on the show with professional experience. Get over it.
the Idol contestants are whittled down to the point that now I would be sad to see any of them leave
