I was totally disappointed in the show. Too much drama is an under statement. Reminded me of the batchlor, I kept looking for the roses!

AMEN! When they moved Tatiana over to the other room my thought was, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING! She is annoying and frankly, not a very good singer. I know the show has always kept people who didn’t deserve to be there for “the drama”, but this is getting ridiculous! It seems to me that Simon wants to move on prior to his contract expiration, so he’s tanking the show on purpose with these kind of moves (that includes putting through “bikini girl” in the early rounds.

\\"…..when Jamar and his Terrence Trent D’Arby fabulousness didn’t. It’s wrong.\\"

I really do not get this decision.
The way the show edits the episodes who would know waht is happening? Maybe they heard something we did not hear. It is irritating because it is very hard to form an opinion on the contestants because the producers pick and choose who and what we hear.
Anyway, I really thought Jamar was unique and had a very good shot when the public began voting. I found it intersting that they asked him if he would come back next year. It was almost like they were hoping he would give it another try. Why would they care if they did not think he had the talent?

Amen, amen and amen Leslie. But guys, American Idol has always been more about show than it has been about singing. Even since Season 1, Kim.

Thats why they call it a – ahem – show =)

I was also very disappointed with last nite’s episode. I have been a fan since Season 1 and felt this year has been for show only. I realize drama is interesting to some, but this show is suppose to be about singing and that is why I watch it. How did the Drama King with the headbands make it?!?! Please A/I get back to being a singing competition and leave the drama to Grey’s Anatomy.

I kinda fell in love with Anoop, too! And I enjoyed the 16 year old, Kelly Clarkson-esque girl. But Tatiana calls for something stronger than wine. Something like moonshine or grain alcohol. And why hasn’t anyone mentioned that girl who got through who forgot her lyrics? Did the judges not say that anyone who forgot their lyrics was out? Forget jumping, now it’s like they’re playing hopscotch on the shark…
