I don't like that Simon man. He is a big meanie and makes all the singing people cry. That is bad. And I don't think that he can sing at all. Why does not somebody hit him and make him cry? Bastard man!
Where I have only watched 2 seasons 9th and 11th the current one, I realise how good this show is with amazing talent at its best. America has a good idea what music they want and thats why this show tends to get good winners out of it.
Description:Twelve finalists and/or future singers (six men and six women) who were selected from America, compete in a talent contest in which they were asked to sing any song they like on this "Star Search" clone. After each song that was sung, the judges, Abdul, Jackson and Cowell, then critique that finalist's chosen song.

After each song that was sung, the judges, Abdul, Jackson and Cowell, then critique that finalist's chosen song. After each show's ending, America must vote for a finalist to whom they really think their performance is good using this AT&T (now Cingular Wireless) or any other cellular phone to cast votes with. Once the votes are locked in, the judges and America decides who has the most and the least amount of votes, and the contestant with the least amount of votes is eliminated, and it goes on each week's show until the winner is crowned as "American Idol," where he/she wins a recording contract worth up to $1,000,000. The rest of the other finalists to whom they have been voted off before (the runner-up) also get recording contracts, too. Written by Gary Richard Collins II (gcollinsii@aol.com) ... (more)(less)

"#50 David Cook - Billie Jean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_aiawC-9aM
Let's start the list off with a great performance of one of my favorite songs of all time. It took me a really long time to come around to this one. Billie Jean is easily my favorite Michael Jackson song, and easily in my Top 10 songs of all time, so to hear someone sing such a different version of it really threw me off at first.

" Day 06 - A show you hate
I'm using American Idol to represent all reality shows because
I hate them all with the heat of a thousand suns -
they are ruining Television -
Idol is particularly loathsome for butchering some of my favorite songs."

"Day 05 - A show you hate
This was a no brainer here. I absolutely loathed this show. I hate eveything about it. I will throw a party once Fox cancels this POS"
"Worst Casting Choices: American Idol
Season 9 was wrong for a number of reasons. On stage, the decision to bring in Tim Urban as an alternate proved disastrous as the untalented bangs-enthusiast delivered awful performances and still made it to the top 7. However, there were equally bad casting choices at the judges’ table, with the addition of Ellen DeGeneres, a perfectly funny lady who’s lack of musical knowledge only served to reinforce the notion that this is not a singing competition a"

"Simon's Sendoff on "American Idol": Simon was always our favorite part of this train wreck of a show, so we expected a big, fabulous sendoff for the cranky judge. Instead, Paula Abdul tried to hijack the night by ostensibly talking about how much she loved Simon, but then unleashed the crazy with some random "jokes" about Simon knocking her up. Source: TWoP"

"And all of its foreign off-shoots.
Come on, people. This is just common sense. If you got the best of the nation on the first season, then the second season would just be the rejects. The third would be the rejects of the rejects. The fourth, the rejects of the rejects or the rejects...you get the picture.
Do we have to get William Shatner up their crooning some Lady Gaga before you recognize that the show has gone to hell. It was a bad idea in the first place! "
