I think Ashley Sullivan has a voice. She just needs to get a grip!. Ashley! tune everything out! Sing from your gut and sing like you are home looking in the mirror. You've got what it takes! JUST DO IT and you will feel so much better about yourself. You know you can!

whole show was totally boring...Idol's time is over

I was disappointed with AI last night....Randy seemd the only one who would make a decision. The other two just waited for him to make his decision...then he would have to ask them... yes or no. The judges were boring and I did not see any talent last night that stood out....I didn't see an AI winner in there. I stopped watching Live to Dance because it was so boring, please get it together, I don't want to stop watching AI too.

What a pleasant surprise! Steven Tyler was a hoot! It really was quite entertaining. I am with the others -- didn't miss Simon at all.

In reference to Tyler: Some people who decide to hate someone will hate them no matter what they do or say. An open mind would cure that disease.

Steven Tyler may know his music and some like to listen to him. But I don't see how anyone could look at that guy over two fried eggs in the morning. Wow, he hurts my eyes. Having said that, I won't be watching Idol at all this season.

IALL I CAN SAY IS I MISSED SIMON SOO MUCH. HE WAS THE BEST. AJAY1019

Disappointing. The show lacks bite, although Steven Tyler was entertaining at times. What is the deal with Jennifer Lopez and her inability to tell people the truth? JLo would put a yowling cat in heat thru to Hollywood instead of telling the truth. She needs to step up, be honest and quit letting Randy and Steven be the fall guys. She knows if someone is awful she can still vote yes and the others will vote no. You can give people an honest critique without being nasty. Finally, nobody should ever go to Hollywood because they beg, plead, and grovel for the judges; either they have the chops or they don't. Begging doesn't change their talent or lack thereof.

Not a previous fan of this show (only watched Adam Lambert religiously), but the new panel has fueled my interest. I thought the judges were very good, each showing thier expertise while not being cruel. LOVE Steven Tyler and the way his eyes change when he hears something he likes! As for the contestants "not dressing up" - give me a break, this is just the beginning- it looks like they wore thier own clothes, not fixed up by some costumers and makeup people. These are regular people, not rock stars - yet! That waitress who made it through was very casual, but it was REAL. I'm sure that as the season continues that we will see the contestants expand thier talents - and wardrobes. Me, personally, I'd love to go shopping with Steven!

Not saying it wasn't entertaining, but the show seemed a little too balanced, lacked energy and humor without Simon And Paula going at it. Maybe it will get better later. I wasn't holding my side laughing like past openers.

WOW, WOW, WOW,, I WAS AMAZED WITH AMERICAN IDOL. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF BORING, BUT LAST NIGHT, MADE ME RECONCIDER.THIS YEAR I WILL WATCH IT!
