      Is that why last night cake-face Ryan KEPT TELLING us that we HAVE to call? That show sucks.

      19

      i havent watched it since the first season so that would be a YES

    20. Hector says – reply to this


      20

      funny how it is so utterly boring this season when they have all these "ringers" who have had music contracts before… you'd think it'd be better!

    21. Anna says – reply to this


      21

      Yes! I am so sick of Idol. They pimp out their contestants–same rude comments year after year. Paula is the only reason I even care to watch the clips.

    22. Michelle says – reply to this


      22

      The last 2 seasons sucked. They need to get more talented singers and get rid of Paula Abdul. I loved the season with Elliot Yamin, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Pickler. The last 2 seasons have had crappy singers with no personality.

    23. LiliBorrego says – reply to this


      23

      yeah… it is really not that good… and the judges are so predictable… DAVID COOK is awesome; that's about it.

    24. mee says – reply to this


      24

      SOo Over It!! Non of the people this year catch my ear!! i have no interest in them and cant picture them being in concert or having a good album. THe lil David Dude bores me. He sounds like a 40 yr old singer most of the time and has no emotion!!!!!

    25. Rachel says – reply to this


      25

      YES! I've been a devoted fan for the past 6 seasons, but this season the show has just become a joke. No one wants to watch Ryan Seacrest attempt to be funny by dancing and doing stupid things for an hour. No one wants to watch him and Simon constantly bicker. No one wants to watch Paula stumble through anymore. The themes are TERRIBLE…performance nights have become a way for artists to hawk their new CDs…I mean honestly…the songs of Mariah Carey and Neil Diamond? Please. What happened to the days when contestants were tested in a battery of legitimate musical genres? And what's the deal with results shows? Droning on…and on…and on…for an hour to wait until the last 5 minutes of the show? Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy the group number and Ford commercials, but having people phone in to ask the most idiotic questions I've ever heard? Give me a break. No, I decided last week after Brooke got voted off that I would no longer be watching Idol. It's become a popularity contest and a sideshow and I really don't associate it with musical talent any longer.

      actually, NO im just getting started! i like it better now then before!!

    27. mandy says – reply to this


      27

      I am totally over that show, I watched it last season, but for some reason could not get into this season at all. But I do have to say I love the idol rejects on the first 3 episodes :) Now that is good stuff!

    28. kristina says – reply to this


      28

      YES!!!!!!! I'M SICK OF IT. I DON'T WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY KINDA MADE IT, GETTING THIS EASY ASS CHANCE AGAIN. WHEN IT WAS FOR REAL AT THE BEGGINING, IT WAS KINDA FUN.

    29. George says – reply to this


      29

      Really???? Then why are they still drawing in 30 million viewers and dwarfing all of the competition?

    30. jodi says – reply to this


      30

      I think it's still a good show. Perez failed to mention the article says 28.7 million views are still watching! Those are great ratings!

      im over it!! go to gifts by mykki and look at all the sexy lingerie you can but at great prices….

    37. czar vlady says – reply to this


      37

      Yep. Maybe if they change the judges - but really need a change of format.
      same ol' thing… YAWN.

    38. kENNY says – reply to this


      38

      I have pretty much been over it since last year. I think they should allow the show to rest for a couple of years…let it breathe instead of cash-cowin' it up like they have been doing it year, after year, after year…after year.

    39. i♥boogers says – reply to this


      39

      HELL YEAH. Thank god for the DVR, I usually fast forward everything and just watch the judge's comments. We all know the show is rigged, so they should've kept danny noriega, but SOME PEOPLE WEREN'T LIKIN' IT.

    40. coocoocachoo says – reply to this


      40

      they need to step up their music secletions tho,, I like Neil Diamond and Mariah etc,, but there is so much music to choose from, i really felt like the did limit them and that part I didnt care for, but hey,, its till good entertianment and where else do u get that on tv now ?? There just isnt the music and variety shows like there used to be and I miss that!

      NO so not over it. LOVE IT! best season yet for sure, watch it, seriously!!

    43. Katie K says – reply to this


      43

      I am over Idol…have been for some time. And I am afraid if they don't bring some freshness to the show in the next three seasons it will be done for.

    44. Laney says – reply to this


      44

      I was over American Idol after the first season.

      i quit watching after the first season. tamyra gray should have won the first season. it's rigged.

      I couldn't get into it this year……..

    47. ME! says – reply to this


      47

      The contestants are beyond BORING this year!! And Ryan Seacrest is a fucking fag (no offense to the gays!) and really needs to realize that insulting Simon, and never letting him speak got old after season 2. So, they just need to do a better job next time with their contestants, and their lack of personality.

    48. heatha says – reply to this


      48

      Not really, and even though ratings dropped it is still the number one and two show ever week so why would they cancel it? They are still raking in the big bucks.

      considering the fact i was never really 'under' it, YES!

    51. czar vlady says – reply to this


      51

      TIRED of it.
      Ryan, Paula, Randy, and Simon are also bored. Just collecting their paychecks (nothing wrong with that). The genres are boring and the contestants are too.

      It just drags on for so long and if that little David Archuleta wins, I don't know what I'll do. He belongs in Branson singing with the Osmonds.

    54. Liz says – reply to this


      54

      I was never under it…

    55. aileen (canada) says – reply to this


      55

      Very much so. I still love Simon though, but he can no longer carry things forward. It's been done and should now be put to rest.

    56. Dawn says – reply to this


      56

      The shows are too long! I don't think I'll be watching next season because who the heck cares about fans calling in and asking questions!!!

    57. aequeen says – reply to this


      57

      Its old. Done. I've been over it since Kelly Clarkson. Its just the same thing over and over, I used to be able to watch it even tho the interest was low, but this season I can't even sit and watch it at all.

    58. Bella says – reply to this


      58

      So over it! All the guys on that show are fags! Only 12 year olds vote anyways. Thats why all the good singers get kicked off and all the faggy boys stay. I guess the 12 year olds don't relize that all those boys are gay!! They just vote because they think the gay boys are cute.

      Where are the Hillary stories today? "Hillary wins but still loses last night…" "It's almost over…" "Clinton options dwindling…"

      Its all over MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc. Why not Perez.com?

      You hear that sound? Its the sound of the wagons circling the Clinton campaign… It won't be long now.

      60

      I am over it, but still watch it & probable will for a few yrs still. I have a 5 & 4 yr old so it's hard to find tv that we can all watch & this is one show we can.

    61. JosephNYC says – reply to this


      61

      Nope. I love Idol, but I am not a young person. I am 42.
      I'll especially be happy if David Archuleta wins this season. That kid is oozing with talent and charm.

    62. meh says – reply to this


      62

      It's been sucking lately. My favorites were voted off some time ago too :( I hate when all the contestants sing commercials together…really, any time they all sing together it is lame.

    63. kstew says – reply to this

      so over it!

      Stupid ass karaoke for the mindless idiots that roam this planet. You're a bunch of dumb fuckers.

    65. alice says – reply to this


      65

      I'm completely bored with it and haven't watched it in a couple years. And the only winner I have ever liked was Kelly Clarkson. But I don't see anything wrong with giving these kids a chance for stardom. Its not really my kinda thing but there is room for it.

    66. chris says – reply to this


      66

      I have been over AI for the past 4 seasons. They need to ship that show off to fox reality channel and replace it with something worth watching. Like an hour block of Family Guy or some new show that doesnt involve TEXTING and crappy theme songs.

      HELL YA…SHIT I WAS DONE WITH IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO!!!

      I never understood why America is fascinated with Idol. Its nothing more then a talent search that will pick a winner to get ~YOUR~ dollars to pay for bubble gum music that will stay on your iPod for a couple weeks.

      I get more satisfaction (and gratification) sucking on a Tootsie Roll.

    69. Shalene says – reply to this

      YES! Since Season 3

      If young viewers are over American Idol then why is Jason still there??? If everyone is over it then why are their rating still so high, are you all incapable of changing the channel?

      73

      Totally! I was a devoted IDOL viewer up until this season, which I had determined not to watch after last season. First of all, I got so sick of the three hour IDOL SPECIALS and the bullshit charity shows. The American People are the ones who need the CHARITY after Bush in the White House for EIGHT YEARS. And of course by watching IDOL I'd be benefitting FOX, and after what that pasty faced turd JOHN GIBSON said when darling HEATH LEDGER died I have banned FOX NEWS OR THE FOX NETWORK from my HOUSEHOLD.

    74. Gypsytrill says – reply to this


      74

      I am not in the sought-after "young" demographic, but I haven't watched this show one single time in the last four years. It is too campy and Paula is a stoned idiot, Simon is a prick and Randy is tired and trite, "dawg".

    75. tara says – reply to this


      75

      Yeah, this show was good only the first year. Later it gets really boring and I am totally over it, cancel it!

    78. monica says – reply to this


      78

      Completly agree with Rachel, the themes are HORRIBLE! These kids are in their teens and 20's….Neil Diamond and Andrew Lloyd Webber songs, who the f*%# wants to hear that!! The show should totally be revamped, if not, cancel it!! So you think you can dance is a WAYYYY better show, ready for it to start!!

      i only watch for paula so as long as she is around i will never get tired of the show. anyway honestly perez, it is still easily nr 1.

    83. daphne says – reply to this


      83

      id watch it if they brought back the quality singers. there is really no one in the top 4 now that i would liste nto ever…

      katharine mcphee, chris daughtry, carrie underwear, justin and kelly were the reasons ppl watched bc they were endearing.
      theyve exhausted americas talent!

      I'm totally over it. I've watched faithfully for 6 seasons and even *gasp* went to an AI concert last year. But I have not watched any of the shows this year… It's just the same ol, same ol. I'm over it.

    87. ceret says – reply to this

      yeah!!!…. time to move on…. another show please…

    88. Lauren says – reply to this


      88

      I haven't watched the competition part in years. I just watch people making asses out of themselves and then don't watch for another year. I don't see what all the hype is about anymore. I has been on too long………

      94

      YES! It's HORIBBLE! The Ford commercials, the cd pandering, the crappy singing, the cheeseball them nights, the group singing…. it's all so fucking lame. My boyfriend actually likes the fucking show so I'm stuck until they cancel it. PLEASE CANCEL THIS SHIT AND SET ME FREE!!!!!!!

      I am so over idol, I really havent watched it since Kelly! HEHE!!

    96. erin says – reply to this

      Yes, particularly after this season's snooze fest.. BORING!

    97. OSLO LIVES says – reply to this


      97

      yeeees…! I've been over this show since season three…!!!

      There is not really a good outstanding singer in any of the AI… I found most of the contestant to be average, the judges boring with the same predictable answers ( Simon , the mean guy, Randy "the maybe I don't know dog " guy, Paula the stupid one of the three)
      I don't even care to watch, I just wish there was a better and more entertaining way to used t.v time( prime time) I rather read and shut the tv off..! :)

    98. Mr. Bo Bo says – reply to this


      98

      YES! If it continues it's time for a complete makeover. The music genres should reflect the type of music the winner will be creating. The results show cut to half hour. And for the charity event drop it it just sucks.

      American Idol is still fun to watch… can't help it!

    100. kelsey says – reply to this


      100

      I only started watching Idol this past season (I'm 19! Haha.) because of Jason Castro, who I love. After seeing how obvious it is that the producers are pulling all the strings, not the American public, I won't be watching another season.

      I don't feel it's fair to the very talented contestants that the producers are clearly overriding the votes of the public for their own masterplan. Sad.
