I so hope they ease up on the humiliating auditions by delusional people. It’s mean and uncomfortable to watch. Showcasing folks making fools of themselves is not something to teach young viewers. There’s enough meanness in the world already.

I totally agree with this! Lets keep the beginning of Idol as good as the mid and later episodes. I have loathed the early freak-show parts of Idol all these years!

i would like to see how you take the 1,000′s or more and pair them down to the final group…why waste our time by showing the poor souls who don’t have a clue of their talent, but know the goal of being bad is good! Love the judges! Jack
Shawn

I agree I hope the audition episodes focus more on the people with actual talent over the delusional people or the people who are joke auditions. I know some people who wait until Hollywood or some that wait until the live shows to watch as they don’t like watching the auditions because of the delusional people or joke auditions.

another season…let’s hope that the judges do better than their counterparts on x factor. let’s hope that randy loses the dawg, steven loses the “it’s beautiful”, and jennifer loses the “i love you”. let’s hope that the 12-15 year olds have thumbs that stiffen up and can’t text votes to the pretty boy of the competition as opposed to the TALENT in the competition. and let’s hope this season brings us another adam or carrie or kelly. SING ON, AMERICA!!!!!!!!

If I suddenly acquired a magic wand, I’d change the voting policy. That has been Idol’s biggest flaw for the last few years.
Shawn

Hopefully Randy will also lose the “in it to win it” line. And I agree with the voting system. It’s in need of an overhaul and should be one vote per device. The Voice limited the number of votes someone can cast from a device, as does DWTS but American Idol magically can’t. I just don’t think they want to do it though as they love saying “We got 75 million votes!” so I doubt it will happen.

I liked the show tonight, although, some of the people going through to Hollywood did not seem to have a good voice.
