Is anyone watching American Idol? **spoilers**

I have not watched. I think there was a reason it was cancelled before..

I'm liking these singers way more than the ones on The Voice this year. I'm not sure what it is about the ones on The Voice but they bore me to death and all of that screaming that some of them do.  At least the ones on AI have some personality. They used to do themes each week on AI once the competition starts with the voting. And I love Cade!

I'm watching. I liked the judges better during auditions, however, they don't bother me too much. The black background and dust in the air with the bright lights bothers me more! LOLOL

I think they have about 3-4 in the top 14 that were placed for ratings. Unfortunately, they let 3-4 go that were really good.

The format is refreshing. It'll be interesting to see when they have to sing genres that aren't their best. That'll weed them out. I enjoy the nights that it's on, too.

I've been watching this season and I do think a majority of the kids left are pretty talented. There are a couple that I'm ready to see leave.

Katy is such a drama queen however I do think she's the one judge that actually gives true advice. She's pretty open about what she likes and doesn't like. Luke just seems to want to like everyone. Lionel, well, he's a talker.

I'm glad I'm not the only one watching. I felt like I may have been alone in my nerdness.

I'm liking the talent better than the Voice but I do wish that the judges would give more criticism. They said tonight that the Idol would be crowned in four weeks???!!!

Lots of agreement here.

Katy Perry is a total PITA attention whore.
Lionel Richie talks way too much and repeats himself as though he's a stuck record.
Luke Bryan is fine, but maybe too nice.
There appears to be some true talent in the final 14 as well as a few that will turn out to be one trick ponies.
It's better than The Voice; I am so bored every time I try to watch The Voice. I keep fast forwarding hoping for a great performance. Nada.

The judges are worthless. And considering the whole Me Too movement, Katy is darned lucky for the double standard because if Lionel or Luke had acted towards any of the females the way that Katy has acted towards numerous guys they would have been booted from the show and vilified in the press.

I agree that the talent on AI this season is better than the talent on The Voice this time. I adore the girl with the short blonde hair. Is her name Maddie? I’ve loved her song choices and I could listen to her sing all night. I really like Cade even though it’s not my kind of music. I think he’s good at that style. They are my top two picks. The tall blonde guy and the dark haired heartthrob guy were picked as easy vote offs so that the people they really want to go thru will go on. I hate that the judges get to pick so many that don’t get enough votes. I find Catie really annoying and I’ll be surprised if she has enough votes but the judges will put her thru.

We are watching but haven't watched last night's show. We DVR and watch the next day or so. I have been disappointed in this year's show more than past years but am still enjoying it.

I'm in the minority as I like the judges. I loved Keith, Harry and Jennifer and I like that this group seems to feed off each other too. I can see where Katy can get on ones nerves. But I still like her. I'm a huge Luke Bryan fan.

I've thought all season that most of the talent this season was terrific. They weeded out some I thought should have stayed and kept some I thought should have gone. But overall it's going to be hard to choose just one. I hope that many will come out with options.

Yes, I have thought the same thing--the winner will fizzle. I don't see any true superstars in this bunch.

OMG, I thought it was just me! That background with the dust flying everywhere drives me crazy!

I've tried to watch a few times, but just couldn't get into it. I watched the first 5 seasons, then stopped. But I did watch the final season & really enjoyed it, so I thought I'd give this season a try. I guess I'm in the minority, but I prefer the artists on The Voice ( the judges, too).

They took the top 6 that America voted for and then judges chose the other 4.

I love Maddie Poppe, too. i didn't really notice her at first aside from her name being memorable, but these last few weeks I've really enjoyed her. I also really like the blonde country singer... forget his name. Those are my two favorites along with Jurney sp?.
