it's been too many seasons.  they need this to be the last one. the talent pool is too low now. they pub up these average to slightly above average singers and put them into a long string attached contract. youdo here a few good songs but not asmuch as earlier… read full review »

American Idol is one of my favorites shows on TV. I have watched American Idol since season 1 and I will keep watching until it isn't on anymore and I can not imagine American Idol never being on.It is the one thing I look forward to after Christmas b/c I know it starts in January.If you are not familiar with it there are 3 judges Simon Cowell who always speaks his mind no matter what it is,Paula Abdul the "nice" judge but always rambles on,And Randy Jackson who is an in between of the other 2.You watch auditions at the beginning to see who goes to Hollywood so you see the best and the… read full review »

I never really understood the hype of American Idol until I finally watched an episode.  The episode I watched featured the contestants singing songs from my favorite musician Bon Jovi.  The singers not only did covers of the band's hits, but they put their own unique spin on the rhythm and beat of the songs.  It was amazing.  Each week, the aspiring singers compete for the love of the judges and sing their hearts out for the ultimate prize.  Some weeks they are able to sing their own songs and other weeks they are given a specific singing mentor to sing their… read full review »

I absolutely love watching this show. It has turned into a family get-together type of thing at my house, where we all sit down and watch American Idol together. It's a show that anyone can watch and enjoy, and you don't have to worry about foul language or too much sexuality if you have little kids around. It's fun to guess who you think is going to get booted off each week as well as watch the try-out part of the show. It's a show that anyone can easily get enthralled with, and I can't wait for the next season to start up again in a couple of weeks.… read full review »

There are people in the world who think that good things only happen to a certain type of people. But when you watch American Idol it shows you that anything can happen, to anyone, at anytime. There are people from all over the world who go and try out for the show. People from big cities, farms and even people who have absolutely no ability to sing at all. It shows you that when you work hard for something (it doesnt' have to be singing) and put your heart into it, you will get a good outcome. In the case of American Idol even if you don't make it to the final round there are millions of… read full review »

American Idol is the best reality show around.  This show entertains you while finding the best talent out there and letting you watch them get better.  Week after week you can watch great talent grow into even greater talent.  That is after watching the adutions which can be down right hilarious.  I also love to hear what the judges have to say.  When it is all said and done American Idol brings great talent to the eyes and ears of millions of people.  Almost all the contestants in the top 10 usually teriffic.  Year after year I think they found the best… read full review »

I love to watch American Idol. It is entertaining. Can't wait to hear what Simon has to say. He can be rude at times but sometimes its true what he says. Like the saying goes the truth hurts but sometimes he can come across as being very obnoxious. There are times where there are people who don't deserve the rudeness. Paula is too nice. Randy cracks me up. He calls it how he sees it. He at least has a heart as Paula does but Simon sometimes seems so heartless. I just can't beleive how some of the people actually get on there thinking they are good singers when they SUCK BIG TIME.… read full review »

american idol is nothing more than i popularity contest where it isnt even based on talent anymore...it is a complete set up and peoplewith real talent have no chance if there is a pretty person that they are competing against. the last show a talented singer was voted off..however she was the best performance of the night... and david a. completly messed up the last line of the song and changed the way it was song when that week you were not susposed to be able to do that did and didnt get repramended for it at all. it make sme so angry that these talented young people dont even have a… read full review »

My 6 year old daughter and I love this show. We watch every episode with my mom and sisters. The music on the show is great for the kids- no swearing and a demonstrates a variety of music of them to be aquainted with. I think it is great for kids to hear all kinds of music so they can decide what they like the best. My daughter thinks it is great that she can watch the singers on American Idol then hear some of them on the radio later. It's amazing but she will tell me who is singing before I even know because she remembers thier… read full review »

     This show is one of my favorites.  I see why this show have high ratings.  Everybody talks about who should be voted off and who in the world told those people they could sing.  Some people needs a reality check.  The good LORD says everybody have gifts, and some gifts are not singing.  Try to find that gift GOD has for you and move on.  Don't cry if you are badly criticed because you should know these things if it's not for… read full review »

Since I started watching Idol 3 years ago,I became an instant fan of it.What I love most about it is that it gives everybody who has a potential in singing to make it in that field of entertainment.It is also amusing to watch especially on elimination because some people seem to just want to see themselve on television ,so even if they know they do not have a chance,they just make fools of themselves.I like the show because it does not discreminate people as long as you have talent you have a… read full review »

The ventriliquist was the best, he could sing better than most singers and he made you laugh, I also liked the big girls they were fun but they couldn't compare with the dummy. I like to watch from the beginning because it seems that people get better as they go along, I now buy Kelly Clarkson, Reuben Studdard and Clay Aiken CD, I think they should change the age, I know a girl who can sing but from what I understand she is to old.  I can't wait for next… read full review »

I really love this program  It is entertaining and give the viewers at home a imput into who moves forward. It has given me a new light on different kinds of music. I have begun to like some of the music that I did not like before. My whole family gets involved and choose the contestant they like and vote for them then we get together and cheer during the result show. I like this new type of TV it gets you involved. —… read full review »

I think this show is rather planned or annoying during the later weeks, but I do enjoy the tryouts. There is great musical talent there, and also a few that aren't....... My family watches it a lot, they seem to love it. I like to see the underdog win. The whole " viewers vote" thing is bad. They shouldn't be trusted after Sanjaya was kept so long last year. All in all it's a good show, but not something I'd set my schedule… read full review »
