I'm usually one to say "wait, let's see how it goes." But this season really does suck. Last night was just another example. They
basically tell people there are better singers, but because you have a personality, you're going through. Then we'll have to hear in the next few
weeks how people are getting through on personality and not vocals. Who's fault is that? There are just so many sub-par performers in the top 13.

I love how the "blind" guy somehow looks directly at the camera, while some contestants cant seem to find it hahahThey probably have one of those squeaky toys that they use when you're getting pictures taken of your dog. |

i'll only be watching the group numbers this season in the hope that the stage will collapse and i can hear all their necks snap as they fall.

I don't personally hate the new number group. Whether in fact, Kris should way out of top 13 instead of regular top 12. It is a similar to America's
Next Top Model Cycle 12 finalists.

Scott looks like a serial killer while Danny looks like a date rapist. Ugliest Top 12 ever? Ugliest/Most Boring/Least Talented/etc. (Danny in the middle--shocking!) |

I like Matt. (so far) I like Jorge (although I suspect his song choices will bore me to t.ears) and I like Scott's personality plus trainwreck dance and
pimpmercial potential. I might like Allison. I'm indifferent to Adam, Jasmehhehehehehn, Jesus Krist and Anoop, always subject to hatred later on. I
wouldn't be opposed to Wife Killer, Shrill, Larder, Craprey, Nu Blonde Whore and SSerena dying in a billion fires. I'm not remotely fantardy over or
compelled to vote for any of these people and I find none of them attractive. Season 8 hate = appreciate!

The worst part was when Simon openly declared that they were casting the Top 12 (13) because they didn't want to put through a bunch of boring singers.
Yeah, God forbid we put through anyone who can actually hold a tune.
And casting? Dude, this isn't High School Musical. He'll regret it when they have another one of those Salsa/disco nights they love to do so much and everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Hey, at least you haven't got any boring people |

This season is going to be awful, it's massively full of stunt casting and lack of talent.
Ugh. |

I like Allison, Alexis and Jorge both musically and otherwise. I respect the singing ability of Danny, Adam and Matt. Unfortunately, that still leaves 7 other
contestants. As many of us predicted, returning to the one round semis format fucked things up royally and gave us a much worse group than a 3 round
elimination would have. Plus it was the worst group of semifinalist women ever, so it wouldn't have been a great group in any case. Even so, 6 good singers
is more than the 3rd season had so it may not be a total disaster if the public does a good job of quickly weeding out mistakes like Megan, Michael and Scott.

Oh please, Jon Stevens could "sing" laps around most of these male performers.
Jasmine Trias > Jasmine Murray La Toya > Shrill DianaBot > Allison Pink Hair Girl from Season 3 > Pink Haired Girl from Season 8 George Huff > Jorge Mantasia > Danny Gokey (At least she didn't have a sob story) Chubby Football Player = Chubby Oil Rigger Camile > Megan JPL > Generic White Season 8 singer Jennifer > Everyone else on Season 8. Season 3 actually had *interesting* personalities as well. |

Just so everyone knows the fact that this crop of singers sucks so bad is Danny's fault. I'm not joking in an I hate Hokey, I actually believe this
seasons group of semi-finalists and finalists is so terrible because of Danny. Danny and to some degree people like Adam and Lil Rounds. The ones they've
chosen to pimp this year are so mediocre compared to past seasons that they've had to pull out all the stops. The manipulative and OTT pimping has reached
new heights this season. They pimped the 2 David's thing hard last year but they didn't have really to, that's the direction America would have
went in regardless. This year their chosen ones are so lacking in real stand out talent and personality they literally have to spell it out to America and say
vote for them. Also because they wouldn't stand out in a crowd of actual talent they filled the semis and finals up with shitty people who offer them no
competition which completely degrades the quality of the show and is why everyone is complaining. I have a hard time believing out of the 100 000 people that
auditioned they couldn't find 36 better people. It was done deliberately to make mediocre singers with terrible personalities like Danny stand out and
gives them default front runner status. Many people in the semis who actually turned out a good performance or sang well were intentionally sabotaged by the
judges or given faint praise and then weren't even given a chance at the wildcard (ie Felicia or Ju'Not).
Anyway that is why this shitty Top 13 is Danny's fault. He's so lacking in talent and a good personality that they felt the need to surround him by people who are even worse and more dull to make him stand out. (At least she didn't have a sob story)Did you even watch Season 3? Fantasia is the origin of all this sob story bullshit. |

Fantasia is the origin of all this sob story bullshit. Did you even watch season one? Jim Verraros shamelessly pimped his deaf parents every time he got while AJ Gil was constantly babbling about being poor and needing money to help his mommy. Nikki was the original Single Mommy Who Needs Your Love. Sob stories have been on this show since season one, darling - or even way back to the first ever season of Pop Idol, when G-g-g-g-gareth G-g-g-gates stammered and sob storied his way through. This season is the first time the show pulled all plugs and shamelessly pimped sob stories at the exclusion of everything else. That's why it sucks from the start. |

Actually I didn't watch Season 1 but yeah you're right, AI has always been shameless.
That said Fantasia obviously had a sob story so I'm not sure why they think she didn't. |

The only good thing about this season is that we are going to enjoy watching each and everyone of them get eliminated. Fantasia had a sob story but I don't remember it being mentioned in her audition. It wasn't shoved down out throat every second either. |

Who knew one day Mantasia would actually have redeeming qualities. That just proves what a piece of shit Danny is, even Mantasia isn't as a vile as him.
So true about the elimination thing. I won't be one bit sad watching most of these fucks get the boot. In fact I will be elated at almost every elimination. It's just 10 ways of win. The only people I will be sad to see go are Anoop and Matt G if they get out early. |

They had to let through Anoop and Matt-- they were the best singers that didn't get through in the group rounds (not based on their group round performances, but overall). Unfortunately, that would have made it eight boys and three girls, so they needed at least two girls to try to balance it out more. Hence, the top 13. If they wanted a Top 12 and didn't care about gender balance, Jasmine would be out. In terms of this whole thread, I actually like this season. I agree that it's very polarized-- there are some great ones (Matt, Anoop, Lil, Danny although I hate him, etc.) but there are some abysmal ones (Scott, Michael, Alexis, Megan, etc.) and some very meh-worthy ones (Jorge comes to mind). If America weeds out the bad ones first, it could be a good season... Of course, I may be putting too much faith into America. |

Season 6 was the downright dismal one for me, and this one is right up there with season 6 for me. At least I like Anoop, but wow...was this the best they could do? Your comparisons are great though. I was never a DiBot fan, but I do think she had a lot more range than Allison has. After Megans performance last night I would definitely take Camile's shaky vocals over hers. |
