Gugny Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yup. Another guilty pleasure. It gets worse and worse every year, but I still end up watching it. This might be the season that makes me stop. I have always loved me some Mariah. But the staged in-fighting between her and Nikki Manaj (don't even care if I spelled that correctly) got old after about 10 minutes. That's going to grow very tired, very quickly. And that Nikki Manaj thing is a jerk, anyway. She's going to ruin it. Randy Jackson is trying harder than ever to be become Simon Cowell, but it's not working. Ugh.

Maury Ballstein Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 agree..........worst first episode ever..........didn't enjoy a single "singer" or the judges at all. thought it was nice when Nicky was being nice to the goofy little asian kid who wanted to be the next beiber. terrible start. i miss Steven Tyler oggling all of the hot teenage girls..........this season is lame.........might be tuning out as well.

Donald Duck Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Angie Millers rendition of Halo was one of the strongest most captivating performances I've ever seen on AI The top 4 contestants/Divas can all bring it, going to make for an interesting finish Edited April 19, 2013 by dog14787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Angie Miller should win. She's been the most consistent of all the contestants this year. She'll get a contract anyway, but she deserves to be this year's Idol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I agree Mark, consistent and creative, All the remaining contestants are good, but Angie Miller has consitently cranked out good tunes every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Might just be me, but when Paula and Simon left, talent seemed to go down too. The last season I watched regularly was when Ellen was on there (I think kris Allen won). When Jo lo joined, the judging made it really unwatchable for me. but the few episodes I have watched since then, haven't been blown away by the talent. the country dude who won recently seemed pretty average. Edit: I went back to see the winners list and realized I watched through lee dewyze's season. that wasn't a bad season with him and bowersox in the final.

Edit: I went back to see the winners list and realized I watched through lee dewyze's season. that wasn't a bad season with him and bowersox in the final. I see your point, and there definitely are better seasons of Idol than others, but that was true even when Paula & Simon were there. IMO the best season of Idol was when David Cook won, there was a lot of talent in that group that year. Lee Dewyze & Crystal Bowersox were both very good, but that group overall was forgettable. The Kris Allen year was very good, except for Adam Lambert . One of the worst years was when Jordin Sparks won. One thing that really frustrates me is when the judges would pick their wildcards and chose some not-so-good contestants. Case in point, in 2011, the Scotty McCreery year, this young lady was brought back for a wildcard spot and the judges said no to her: http://en.musicplayon.com/play?v=291644 This year overall has been decent, but Angie Miller has got star potential. Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb & Candice Glover have also had very good to great moments as well. Yes there were forgettable people this year too, but Idol is still a good show to watch.

Donald Duck Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 After this season's over, Ryan Seacrest may be the only thing left standing that looks familiar to all the AI viewers who have watched the show over the last decade. Sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably not for everyone, but the idea of going out and combing across the United States to find a superstar is appealing to some. Music lover myself, so it appeals to me. There is one problem I have with the process though, in my opinion If you want Americas true feelings, judges shouldn't critque the contestants until the day after you tally the votes up and right before the results are announced, so both Judges and contestans are put on the spot. Folks are to easily swayed by critiques from the Judges as it stands now. Edited May 18, 2013 by dog14787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I get tired of is when elimination night comes and Seacrest asks the judges who should be eliminated and the judges give a roundabout non-answer. At least Simon had the guts to give his opinion.

The song is also No. 6 on Heatseekers Songs, No. 8 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs, No. 33 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, No. 39 on Hot Digital Songs, No. 40 on Hot Digital Tracks and No. 93 on the Hot 100.

ajzepp Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 no, but shes worthy man I just fell in love with the song and Candace's soulful rendition, she/it really is beautiful As much as I fell off the wagon this season, I thought she was easily the most talented and most consistent. Usually during the season there will be at least a couple performances that I'll download off of iTunes, but this year the only one I grabbed was Kree's version of "Crying", since it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I thought Angie was very talented, especially when she sang that one original piece of hers, and I could see her having a nice career. The only dude I thought was any good was Nick Boddington, but he didn't make it to the finals. But yeah, Candace seems like a genuinely awesome person so I'm really happy for her early success. People can criticize Idol all they want, but you just can't argue with the track record of success they've had over the years, especially in terms of how many contestants went on to have legitimate careers in music or acting. It's pretty remarkable, really. Grammys, Oscars, Emmys, platinum albums, billboard #1s, etc, etc...pretty impressive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,it really is impressive, and while all of us may not agree on the actual winner every season, all the contestants get a great deal of publicity to help kick start their careers. Candace Glover should be an inspiration to all the budding young talent out there to show just because you don't break through the 1st time, try, and try again. This was Candace's 3rd tryout on Idol after being told by one of the most renowned talent critiques in the world, Simon Cowell, she would never be nothing more then a cocktail Lounge singer selling peanuts, Glover comes back and wins it all.
