I do watch AI when nothing else is on but that's about it.  

@HisElk1 , I used to watch The Voice, too, but stopped watching for the same reason.  I could tolerate it with the original judges but some of the ones they've added I just can't watch for any period of time.

I used to watch A.I.  a long time ago.  I think I wached more drama after Adam Lambert won.  He was so talented and so much fun!!!

 

I remember when Chris Daughtry left early.  I knew he was so good he was probably under contract.

Carrie Underwood's audition was wonderful.

Jennifer Hudson, so talented; remember she lost her mother, bless her heart.  That woman reared a beautiful young lady!


 

 

Adam Lambert didn't win. He was the runner up to Kris Allen.

 

IMHO, Adam should have won. He clearly had more talent...what has Kris Allen done since he won AI almost 13 years ago??  After this unjustified upset, I never watched AI again.

 

With that being said, it's probably a good thing Adam didn't win. He was able to record the kind of music and make the albums he wanted to make and not be under contract to AI.  He dictated his career, not AI.

I can remember during the auditions when Carrie Underwood walked out on stage and sang.  I said to my husband, "that girl is going to win it all."  And she did.  But Clay Aiken was my all time favorite.  Wonder what he's doing these days.

Carrie Underwood is amazing ! I still love watching her and listening to her songs . A real lady . I saw her audition and when she was on AI so long ago . She has really done well for herself .  Carrie ,Adam and Jennifer are the only ones I really remember , probably because they are still around on tv and concerts etc .

I keep trying to watch but I just keep losing interest. I don't like the judges as in my opinion they are not really judging. They just say every one is so great and how wonderful they are. I miss the days were the judges were honest. And the songs they sing now, I have never heard before. I used to be a real fan but it's just not the same anymore.

I used to look forward to AI...and I don't watch much tv.  The talent was amazing and it was fun to determine the big win.  Sometimes Simon Cowell would offer suggestions to a contestant and a stunning transformation would occur.  Sometimes the most unexpected magical art would come forth from a most unexpected contestant.  The competition was replete with talent.  Adam Lambert was exciting to watch and vastly gifted. 

 

 It is surprising...so many talented people waiting to be discovered and they sure aren't on AI anymore.  I have stopped watching.
