This year is the most I've watch American Idol....every year I watch bits here and there but this year, I'm watching it week after week. I have to say, I'm getting sick of the show and I don't care to watch it much anymore. It's to the point I wonder how much of this show is rigged. The judges and their comments are absurd....they say things so that votes are swung a certain way (hint hint, David A.) I don't understand why Paula is even on there. She's so worried about not being the "bad guy" that she says the same thing over and over..."oh I think you're great, I love your style, there's something about you....etc" Get new lines please!!

David Cook -awesome singer, takes chances....yes he had an off night but no one is perfect.

Syesha - Yes she is a great singer, but doesn't take many chances....it does get to be predictable

Jason - I'm a Jason fan but I do admit last night was off. HOWEVER, in his defence, he doesn't know whether to change a song or keep it the same. If he changes it, they don't like it....if it's the same, they say he needs to find his style. After Hallelujah, they critisized him over and over....the judges need to make up their mind of what they want!!! No wonder he's confused....

David Archuleta - where do I start?? For one thing, he looked like a slob last night!! Stop slouching!! He doesn't know how to act on stage, all he does is smile to win votes. And can we talk about predictable.....week after week slow song after another....and didn't he sing "Stand by Me" last week? Oh no that's right, he didn't...sorry I get confused BECAUSE THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME!! Talk about NOT taking chances....he sings them without changing the song.....and yet the judges don't say anything....why?? Because they want the votes swung David A.'s way....how is that fair to critisize the other contestants who "don't take a chance" when David sings them straight from the radio! David, I agree with a previous post....the Mickey Mouse Club is waiting for you....

Honestly, the show can do without the judges. All they do is help the public decide who they "SHOULD" (if you can call it that) vote for instead of who the publc WANTS.....

One more thing....last weeks incident with Paula was inexcusable. Maybe it was true that she read David Cook's notes from the rehersal (I think that was an excuse, but whatever). HOWEVER, she still should have know that they sang once. There is no excuse not to know. I think it was pretty sad that Ryan had to make up an excuse and say "they were thrown a curveball and we love Paula". No American Idol, she messed up, face it. She should have to apolgize for not doing her job the way she should. Once again, I make my point....get rid of the judges.....actually, just get rid of the show, it's getting old....

*phew* I'm done....just needed to put my opinion in....
