that is one thing i have never liked about the show. they end up with 12 guys and 12 girls. i always thought it should be the best of the bunch, no matter their gender. if 20 guys are better, then let 20 guys and 4 girls go through...... it has always been like that i believe.

 

a couple of my favorites are not moving forward unfortunately.


 

 

@sunshine45  It actually wasn't that way  in the beginning.  I remember when they changed it I didn't think it was fair.  I don't remember when that was though.

thanks @NickNack

 

i could not remember if it was that way the entire time. i do know though that it has been that way for a long time.

 

interestingly though, the top ten during the first season was split 5 and 5.

Re: Anyone been watching the American Idol?

So getting back to the contestant Brittney (the vocal coach) who didn't get a golden ticket to Hollywood, but showed up unexplained, we now know why. It was said she was voted on by viewers to get a second chance. I didn't realize who she was, but I remember voting for her! I think the opportunity to vote may have come on the American Music Awards, if I'm not mistaken the result was announced on Dancing With The Stars.

I didn't think I was going to like the judges but they surprised me.  Lots of talent picked....looking forward to the live shows.

Re: Anyone been watching the American Idol?

American Idol was good last night.  Twelve of the top 24 performed, and most of them were very good.  It's a better group than I thought they'd end up with.  I'm looking forward to the duets tonight.  

 

How do they go from the top 24 to the top 12?  I think the judges decide.  How many will go after the top 24 finish performing next week?

I think the winner is going to be one of the last two performannces last night. The country girl or the rocker. They are both very good performers.

I think Jurney might win.  She's my favorite at this point.  I think she has a beautiful voice.

Re: Anyone been watching the American Idol?

What is it with that Katie Turner girl. It’s like watching a train wreck. She looked like little bo peep singing blondie. If she goes far imagine the makeover she will get.

I think her look is very corny but it is her style.  I don't see a makeover happening....I believe part of her appeal is her corny style.

I think Katy Perry is the trainwreck.
