I’ve come to the same conclusion as some of you: Paula was the one with the eye for talent. How else can you explain the mediocre talent this year? There are four good female singers and about four good males. If they don’t end up in the final 12, it won’t be worth watching. Also, Kara does seem to be trying to be Paula instead of being herself and it’s turning everyone off. The chemistry between Simon and Paula was just there, not forced. And everyone loves Ellen but she doesn’t bring anything to the show as a judge. Simon seems so irritated that his critiques are useless, not constructive,and Katelyn, who is very talented, gave a shockingly mediocre performance because she was trying to follow Simon’s advice. It’s like Simon is trying to sabotage the show since he’s leaving (or trying to eliminate any real competition for Crystal).

Let’s hope tonight someone, or more than one, knocks our socks off. I am waiting for someone to WOW us….. I don’t know if we will ever see another show like last Year’s and I know that I have really tried not to compare and then be let down, I am really trying to see and hear some talent. They may surprse us yet!!!

Phyllis, I am really trying to enjoy the show, too! Let’s keep hoping for a star.

Dee I loved your comment about Kara. I was thinking the same thing she looks like she’s having a female erection when her neck bones stick out and her head moves back and forth. I miss Paula so bad. I really think Simon is going because he misses her too!!!!!!! But she will be siiting along side Simon next year, and you bet my new show will be the X FACTOR!!!!!

HI KATHLEEN,
I DO AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS SEASON BUT I AM REALLY TRYING TO ENJOY THE SHOW AND I KEEP HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I THINK WE WERE SO PUMPED UP LAST SEASON THAT THIS SEASON WAS GOING TO BE A LET DOWN….WE WERE HOPING FOR ANOTHER SEASON 8 BUT INSTEAD IT LOOKS LIKE A SEASON 7 REPEAT……NOTHING EXCITING YET!!!!!

Another thing I’m noticing is the comments here are mostly from girls. And some of them say the talent last year was great, but we haven’t much this year. They must be only looking at the male side? It’s quite obvious that Siobhan is amazing for starters. Then there are 2 or so girls that could also be considered really good.

If I don’t count the judge mess and switching. And If I don’t count that there is less talent in the top 24, but only look at the most talented ones, then it’s still pretty ok. I like Siobhan, Cyrstal and maybe one other. But I guess if you are a girl hell bent on having a heart throb, then you are out of luck. And Casey while ok, isn’t one of our best idols. That leaves maybe Andrew?? But if girls can enjoy the other girls singing, we have at least 2 that are good. Not to say there are no good guy singers, but I’m saying if you want to pick the very best ones, they are girls this year.

Hi to Phyllis and the others who posted,

This time Phyllis, I am not in agreement with you – usually our comments are so much alike, but I am having a hard time this year getting excited about the talent and the judges. I was for Ellen all the way when it was announced because I really like her, but so far, I haven’t heard much from her related to being a good judge – she either repeats and then adds, “I really like you,” or she disagrees, but doesn’t give the reason – she seems like she is floundering. Paula was a little dippy and had trouble getting things out at times, but she was pretty good about talent some- to- most of the time. I know I am going through Adam withdrawal, and the excitement that he brought, but there are so few this year who can sing a whole song without pitch problems or they have no stage presence at all. I was with you earlier in the season (I know it just started) when I too said, let’s see what they can do — and they may surprise us, but each week it seems like a let-down because most of them are not getting it. I think the judges have given some good critique – especially Simon, as usual – I think he is pushing them to step up to the plate.

I like Casey, Andrew Garcia, and Siobhan – not in that order, but they stand out a little for me – I can see one of them in the top. Initially I liked Katie Stevens, but so far, I have agreed with the judges on song choice and issues with not being current.

I really liked Danny Gokey last week – I never was a huge fan, but he was great when Idol was on tour and his singing and performance last week was uplifting, musical and entertaining – he really improved, and it shows that these kids can too. That is my 2 cents, for what it is worth!

I KEEP FOCUSING ON THE TALENT…..NO ONE IS A BIGGER FAN THAN ME OF ADAM AND SEASON 8 BUT WE HAVE TO GIVE THESE KIDS A CHANCE…..THERE IS REALLY GOOD TALENT HERE.
BETWEEN PAULA LEAVING AND SEASON 8 OVER ITS BEEN AN ADJUSTMENT BUT THAT WAS YESTERDAY….TODAY IS A NEW DAY AND LETS GIVE THESE KIDS A CHANCE!!!!!!!

I though my life was over last year when Idol season was over. Now that is has resumed, I don’t find myself as “attached” as before. I can’t put my finger on it but something is missing this year. Maybe it is Paula……? I don’t know but it is definitely not the same. heck I like the 70′s dude who rocked the stage and was the 1st guy to get eliminated, so what do I know?!!!!!!!!!!!
