Idol the bully, moves from boring singers to the media

I think that American Idol is very protective of their product and the aspiring singers that perform on it. They need to be taking this criticism left and right. It's just that this year hasn't produced the best singers. The girls sound much better than the guys and the Sanjaya flap is going to affect them a lot. It's really going to be hard to top last year, when a diverse mix of singers singing from every genre competed.

NO ONE HAS TO TRY OUT FOR AMERICAN IDOL, THEREFORE IF THEY GET INSULTED THEY ARE JUST NOT GOOD. COMMEND THE JUDGES FOR THE THOUSANDS THEY LISTENED TO ...ONLY TO REACH A NOT SO GREAT 24, AND NOW A NOT SO GREAT 12....

I believe the reason AI is flush with mediocre talent this season is the push to vote for the worst idol and not the best idol. We have begun to see the best and worst singers moving on and the one's stuck in the middle being sent home too early. How many folks will pony up good money to go see these twelve in concert next season? I believe the home audience vote should only count for 30% and maybe have a panel of industry folks as well as the judges all fact their votes in as well.

There is nothing wrong with AI. Every year the same complaints. Simon is too mean, Paula is too soft and the dawg is, well, the dawg. Anything that is so successful always has the most criticism. I love every season for what makes it different. This is what it is. Yes, the best singer may not always win, but that is what makes it interesting.Remember, if you are even in the top 12 and you have talent, you have been given a huge break and will be successful if you go with it. And Rosie needs to get her facts before she spouts off.

I used to look forward to seeing AI but not anymore. What is the point. The talent is so boreing and Not star quality it is not worth my time. It is a waste of TV time. Melinda deserves a shot. She is the only one that might stand a chance after the season ends.

They said on The View today that AI will now let them show clips again. But they didn't show any and bashed the show as usual - which, of course, is great publicity. Apparently AI figured that out overnight. LOL

On what plane of reality is this a hypocritical situation? Barba - as much as I cannot STAND her - took pics that were PRIVATE and stolen/leaked.

Frenchie got paid to post naked for a porn site called 'Daddy's Little Girls."

There is a HUGE difference, and Idol has every right to stop doing business with a show that employs an idiot who doesn't know when to shut her ignorant pie-hole. Rosie and her never-ended cesspool of a mouth should die in a fire. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

First off it was Rossie who started the whole thing by making unfounded statements about AI. Simmon always seems to be very on the ball with his statements. (And I LOVE Rossie!!!)

Second, AI has changed their view on the VIEW..wink...they WILL infact be given clips.

Kit,
Exactly my point!! Do unto others is what I say...

AI producers: If you are going to produce a show where you critique people you're going to need to be able to accept a critique of your own show. Perhaps they could take a lesson from their own contestants --- after the bad things are said look into the camera, smile, and hope you come back next week.
