Ok, people. I've been feeling this for a long time, and it's time to pull up the big girl panties and admit it. We are all bored with American Idol this season. This is not the big news here. It's my conclusion as to why? we are uninspired. It's because they are too good. There is no one to pick on. Why did we let them boot CryBaby car boy so early on? People, it's a personality/fashion contest at this point. All of these people are better than 60% of the past winners. Taylor Hicks would have come in 7th in this years competition, if not lower. Fantasia would never have beat David Archuleta or Cook. no way. Don't get me started on Rueben vs. Clay. Katherine McPhee should have beat Taylor, but could she have beat David Cook? Or Brooke? Or Carly? I'm not thinking so. Of course, Chris, Kelly and Carrie, would have beat all of these peeps. Although I do believe David Cook can reach Chris Daughtry potential by the end of this journey.
So what's missing? Let's face it. We used to tune in to see the Faux Hawk Sanjaya...the Chris Sligh's, Anthony Federov's, Chicken Little's, and Jasmine Trias trainwrecks. America loves the 'boo factor'. They love Simon looking a bone head right in the eyes and saying, "I'm sorry but I could have heard that at any hotel lounge in America over a beer and pizza." And where is our Constantine Maroulis? The cheese factor is seriously lacking this season. What about girls with boobie pics on YouTube. Remember that NJersey girl? Antonia or something like that..with the beach pics? Antonella Barbarella Boobie Girl? Remember how much fun we had making fun of Boobie Girl? Oh, for the good old days. No boobies this season. Remember when Kat McPhee showed her snatch? Good times.
We love the judges sarcasm and wit... "that was just pitchy"..."you lost the melody completely 1/2 way through"...or MY personal favorite from Randy a few seasons back "Dude, I didn't even know what song that was until you were almost done."
So, I hope they take that into account next season. And put Dolly Parton back into mothballs. I'd rather make fun of Barry Manilow. Next season, bring on a train wreck as a mentor...or say, FLAVOR FLAV or Bret Michaels. What about 80's hair band week? Did they do that yet?
All I can say is Andrew Lloyd Weber week is going to be like watching paint dry. Or grass grow. It's good solid music, that Phantom of the Opera shit, but it ain't hitting the top 40. Or playing on my ipod. That's all I'm saying.
In conclusion people, I need a little more crybaby car boy to make my season complete. We can only hope for next season.

Bring back Danny Noriega and maybe it might be more interesting.

Cole, spot on again. No drama this year. Mising the nurse rocker chick now. I'm just like, get to the final already and let these kids start recording. Except for Syesha, she can go join an off broadway show, waaaay off broadway.
I don't even watch the show live anymore. DVR then fast forward thru everything except for the performance and Simons comments. Don't even have to listen to dogman and Pauler.. They say the same shiat. Get done with the show in 20 minutes. So sad. It used to be a fun show. Now it's enter sandman.

Could not agree more. But my guess is that idol TV ratings are euqal to or higher than ever. Right? So don't look to FOX to be breaking this mold anytime soon.
Let's get Joe Simpson on as a guest mentor so he can check out the girls and up the perv factor. He has produced some pop stars - he can teach them how to properly lip synch live. Or let's get Momma Spears on the show and she can drop knowledge on how to keep headlines so when your album is crap it still sells (see: Taylor Hicks.) Teen pregnancy and mental illness really do sell albums, people!
If only Taylor had a drug problem, or beat his girlfriend up or something. His sh*t would be selling!
I am not a McPhee fan and never had McFever. She was/is McFake and I don't McLike her at McAll.

I totally agree! We need some excitement on the show....some dirt and/or controversy. I haven't really connected with any of them this year as in the past years. I love David Cook but feel that the little lip-licking teenybopper is probably going to win. The way I vote (when I do and I haven't yet this year) is I ask myself "would I PAY to see this person in concert" and David A. NO WAY!
But on the flip side we can't have a great fun lineup of people every year. The talent is good this year but the people are pretty much boring.
