The potential for a complete Paula meltdown is the only thing even remotely entertaining about this show. Someone has cut down her supply this season because many a night she has actually been the voice of reason (with the exception of her "2 song vs. 1 song" snafu) during Simon and Randy's pissing matches, making for a very dull show .

The only thing that'll save it now is to have her yell "What the fuck are you doing?" in the middle of her critique.

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> The ratings are falling because the show is a complete mind-rotting piece of shit. Like huffing gasoline only without the explosion hazard.

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> I dig David Cook, but I liked Jason Castro much more.

You know the show has jumped off the tracks when your 4th place contestant doesn't want to be on the show any longer.

I saw him play with no pressure on talk shows and he is amazing.

Tonite, if anyone wins besides David Cook, you know the show is a joke. But then again, Clay as done so much better then the fat one...

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> This show would be better if it featured Simon racing through dark castles, hopping over fireballs and running from ghosts, trying to save Paula, but every time he gets to the end of the castle, Paula disappears, and Randy is there, and he's all, "Yo dog, sorry, but your American Idol is in another castle, dig?" And he has to do it all again.

That would be a good show.

I want sequins, and I want bad Bee-Gee's covers on Disco Night. Why do you think so many people are watching Dancing With the Stars? This show is just sooooo serious now.

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> Can we please remove the stilted and embarassing choreography on the vote-off nights? If you're going to include 'edgier' contestants please don't make them twirl and gesture like they're in a lyrical jazz number.

Foreal, though? The show really has been awfully boring this year. I'm choosing to blame Archie & my not being 12 years old.

DorothyMantooth

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> Get rid of "theme" nights.

Why should people who are competing to be current artists have to sing songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, or Dolly Parton et al? Just let the contestants choose their own songs--whatever they may be--and carry on.

That, and get rid of (at least) Paula as a judge.

]]> <![CDATA[Give <i>American Idol</i> Back To Us]]> It's not a talent show. It's a reality show masquerading as a talent show. I watched a couple of seasons, then stopped. I was fed up with, among other things, the enabling of people who can't sing and just want to be on TV by putting them on TV. Batman costume, tin ear? You're in!

I would love to see this show die a slow and painful death. I hate it.
