Yes I am sick of it.  I never liked it in the first place though!

This week's installment aired on Tuesday night, when Taylor Hicks, Katherine McPhee, and Elliot Yamin each performed three songs.\n\nOn Wednesday night it was revealed that Elliot Yamin was eliminated. \n\nThey did a fancy new thing where they showed that each of the three received votes around 33%. It was only a matter of .20% or so separating the frontrunner from Elliot.\n\nOn Wednesday next week the winner of American Idol Season 5 should be reviled. Oops, I meant "revealed." Or maybe I did mean "reviled." I wanted Chris Daughtry to win...

I agree...I've tried watching it and can't get over the stupidity of it.  The smartest character on the show is a toddler????  c'mon  he can't even wipe his own butt but can speak intelligently??????

Canadian Idol is not as 'big production' as American Idol, for sure, (no big $$), but it really is an identical format...it hasn't been the greatest, but not the worst either...let's give 'em a chance and see what happens this season...did you catch Monday's show with them all being 'silly' and fed up with the no-talents - hilarious, EH!\n(Signed, a Canadian EH!)

Oh dear...I don't think I have enough time or space to answer this.\n\nFirst off, I'm a big believer in "to each their own".  If you love this show, more power to you.  As you will see, I am not one of those.\n\nIt's really too bad, because the concept of a talent showcase is awfully appealing.  But, wrapped in the spangly cloak that is modern reality television, it becomes a perversion of the thing it claims it is.  The show panders constantly to the lowest common denominator, filling the occasional moments of real entertainment with so much bombastic hype that it's the worst kind of sensory overload.\n\nThe entire production is nothing more than a caricature of entertainment.  Everyone seems to be a stereotype--from the freakishly hip host to the panel of "judges"--two elevated C-list celebrities and a truly pompous jerk who's made himself a household word because of it.\n\nAnd the talent...I have no doubt of the phenomenal ability of many of these people, but it all seems so lost in both their own and the show's moronic desire to put EVERYTHING over the top.  Apparently sublety is a dirty word on American Idol.\n\nYet untold millions of people tune in every week to watch.  I truly do not sit in judgement of anyone who finds this show entertaining.  I think it's great that it can provide this level of enthusiasm to so many.  I really salute the show's producers for coming up with something that obviously touches so many people.\n\nBut the day I watch an episode and enjoy it is the day I've gone 'round the bend...

I thought it was completely tasteless to play it over and over like that. I cringed when it happened because I felt bad for the guy; I cringed again when they showed it the second time because I knew what was coming and then I cringed and shook my head when they completely went overboard repeating it over and over and over.....\nIf that was me, I would sue the producer for allowing it to be shown in that manner. What a way to humiliate someone. And I thought the stuff they showed from American Idol auditions was cruel......

I completely agree. My think is that not only are they annoying, but people in the age groups that watch it (up and coming teenagers most I guess) stay pretty much ignorant and stereotypical because of them. The OC or Laguna Beach show all these girls still fighting over a dirtbag guy. They still show how to get yourself involved in drama in the stupidest way possible and totally waste your time instead of thinking about higher things. Shows like American Idol just become so formulated that people don't actually try to have original opinions, they try to act like they know how to sing or dance or market a person themselves when really they suck at karaoke. Every teen movie has some kind of nudity or sexual implication involved with it (even that "High School Musical" on Disney pissed me off, although not a reality show, because this kid was pimpin' two girls on an airplane and started making out with them both!) - I'm not an ultra-conservative or anything, but when you see the same things over and over again, it makes you wonder why your boyfriend or why guys think it's okay to cheat, or why they don't feel bad about it, or why girls have to be so damn gossipy and have such low thinking levels. Sometimes I wish I could see a show where someone doesn't give a crap about entertaining someone else or causing drama and actually gets to the top of something. Where someone actually gets degraded if they're a character who pimps everyone or shows off every inch of their body. Like I said, I can have as sense of humor but it pisses me off when it's so prominent that it actually becomes true.

I do like to watch American Idol, but was a little disappointed with last season.  I thought that Constantine shouldn't have been sent home when he was.  There was no way that Scott Savol was better than him.  Anyway, that was last year.  This year I think it's going to be the guys turn to win... I really like Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry and of course Ace.  :)  It would be nice to see Taylor or Chris win; they aren't the "sterotypical" idols the judges and America seem to be looking for.

I'm with you... this is ridiculous... this clown show has gone on long enough and I think America is sick of it... Repubs were still playing the patriotism card in 04 and barely beat Kerry... you don't have enough juice left in that one anymore and it's time to stop hiding behind excuses for your actions...

I still watch the show even though she left because its one of my favorites and I can't really tell you how long it will last, but i'm pretty sure the ratings are gonna take a plunge.  The chemistry is off balance and its pretty lame now. Its like sex and the city without "slutty samantha" (another one of my favorite shows) I think that sooner or later they're going to bring a new character to replace Toni with some lame plot...like a new girl Joan hired or some crap. A lot of shows did that...look at charmed didn't they find some half sister they never knew or something like that???

Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking. American Idol has to be rigged. Chris has too many fans. Look how many people are mad. He was the best one there. Katherine should have gone. I'm really upset. I hope he gets some kind of record deal anyway. He was amazing.

I can't wait until next season!!  Do you think a male or female will win next year?  I think we need a rocker to go all the way next time!  I wonder where the auditions are being held?  \n\nThings like that, because we have absolutely no life other than American Idol....yeah, right!  Don't diss us, we're just having fun :)
