I have been watching for the last 4 yrs non stop and the contestants keep getting worse each year....none of them this year could even compete with the contestants 2 yrs ago. Total popularity contest and the judges picked these contestants as the best they could find. Maybe its time for a new panel of judges,

I have watched it a total of twice, the first time, I thought Ok, it had to just be a bad night, it has to be better than this to have that many people religiously watching it, agonizing over the results, so I watched it a second time, couldn't believe this was the show everyone was talking about. I haven't wasted my time since, life is too short to waste on Idol watch, lots of better things to do.
