i love idol.
actually, for the last few weeks (since MJ and Carly got the boot) i love DAVID COOK

the fanbases are still ridiculously strong. theres a huge audience. if people spent as much time focusing on the actual (although yes, more limited this season) talent than they do on how rating have dropped, we'd have great new artists this year.

cook for the win!

I still enjoy the show. It is still entertaining at the end of a long work day and I see no reason to cancel the show. They can change it up some from season to season but I still think it is a fun show and I am not sorry one iota.

shira says – reply to this

216

if they were able to pick contemporary songs instead of songs from 60's, 70's, etc, maybe it would be good. i'm 19 and dont know half the songs they sing so it makes it boring. plus there was no one that stood out this year.
Rachael says – reply to this

217

John says – reply to this

218

sezI says – reply to this

221

Cassie says – reply to this

222

lalala says – reply to this

223

JMLJML says – reply to this

224

I am over David A's gasping for breath during a song!!
Kim says – reply to this

225

Fuck you all! I loveeeeeeeeeeee American Idol! Hope David Archuleta will win!!!
Dave says – reply to this

226

Hope David A. wins. He's got the most potential to become famous. David Cook's voice is too affected and he sounds too much like "Daughtry" Ryan needs to return to his more relaxed look he had when the show started. He's too corporate looking. Bring back Clay and Melinda Doolittle. They could sing!

Re: Karen –

angel says – reply to this

233

yes, its boring. Anything new they try to add in the show just aggravates the piss out of me.

It is a very good stepping stone for up and coming singers though.
Erika says – reply to this

234

239

laura says – reply to this

240

I love the show!!!! Go David A.
deedee says – reply to this

241

How can anybody be over IDOL considering the immense talent that has been brought forward as a result of that show.
Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, ….
People will keep watching because eventually this show brings forward shining stars. In an industry where talented people work years and don't make it…this show has been inspirational. Some people who require instant gratification may tune out…..that is their problem….go buy another Britney, Madonna album.

Angela says – reply to this

247

SOOOO OVER IT!!!
LIKE ever since Ruben Studdard!
TAKE IT OFF FOX!!!!
Kimmy says – reply to this

248

The contestants are lame this year. David Cook is the only one with a little bit of personality and he is still boring. They need to call it quits are revamp the entire show. For starts they can stop those stupid corny ass commercials in the middle of the show. If I wanted to watch commercials I would throw away my TiVo.
cameron says – reply to this

yes
hpott says – reply to this

252

I've always been a huuuuuge American Idol fan, and I'm soooo over it. I'm tired of certain people being overpimped and shoved down my throat just to fit the powers that be's agenda. This season doesn't even fly by me…yuck. Danny Noriega should still be there!!
Andrea says – reply to this

253

It's really become a big joke and a money machine. But I'm mainly over smug Ryan Seacrest… When will you finally come out??? Stop pretending that you fancy girls!!!! It's all a big scam!
&*(_) says – reply to this

254

Oh hellllllllllllllll yes! Replace it with more House please!
Lisa says – reply to this

255

After this season–YES! This season was awful. I HATE the group sings with Brady Bunch choreography, but more than that I hate forcing all of the singers (regardless of style or personal choice) to sing songs by the same artist. Neil Diamond?? Dolly Parton?? How the hell do they expect to keep young and hip viewers with songs from these folks?? And forcing a rocker to sing country, or a folk singer to sing Broadway, is just ridiculous. When they go out to start their careers, their albums do not have one song from each genre. Let each singer perform songs THEY like and let us judge who WE like. And I think it's a joke that they always tell people "No one can sing a Whitney song like Whitney, no one can sing a Mariah song like Mariah…" so what do they do–make them ALL sing Mariah songs??? WTF??? And then they criticize Syesha for being "too Broadway," but then they bring in Andrew Lloyd Weber! Again, WTF??? Have I been drinking Paula's punch without knowing it, b/c nothing makes sense to me any more.

I am so disappointed by this season…I am probably done.

I LOVE IT & DON'T MISS AN EPISODE! I stopped watching it around the 3rd season & started watching it again this season so maybe that is why i'm not over it.
Regina Renman says – reply to this

257

Its my favorite show I love it ,,it always will be my favorite show I watch it with my family and never get enough ,, if it went off the air tv wont be the same for me…
Rockstarr says – reply to this

258

I thought I was over it..and I told myself that it was just gonna be stupid, and that like none of the people that win actually become really famous and what not. But then I saw Jason Castro and David Cook..and those are the kinds of artists that that show needs!!!..hopefully one of them will win, and American Idol can break the curse of crappy lowlife winners.

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
