3. Well, I think Idol is sort of corny, but it is entertaining compared to most shows out there. And it does give a nobody a chance to make it big. I have watched every season and I agree that some people do not belong there, but there is some good talent mixed in also. I will keep watching because of the entertainment factor.

4. Finally!!!!! People who recgonize American Idol for the disease that it is. Please boycott this atrocity & let these ASSHOLES know that not all of america is so gullible that we accept this as a form of entertainment. Rather than lending airtime to these talentless mouthpeices let us support real artists.

6. American Idol is the greatest program that has come along in a long time.
I think it's wonderful that all these young kids get the chance to show thier stuff.
I know Simon is a jerk at times, but please remember ,we do not see all of the goings on's.Just what the TV producers want us too.
For most of the young people that try out would never, never get this chance anywhere and most of them are beautiful blossoms ready to bloom.
I take my hat off to FOX and the producers. It is so nice to see even the funny ones, other than all the sex,cussing, and violence. Rock on FOX and American Idol. I don't care what anyone says. You are the BOMB

7. American Idol is such a cheesy show..and this was the first year I watched it....for one reason only.. Chris Daughtry. I thank GOD he didn't win. Let Taylor Hicks be the "Standard" for all the other "Idols" to come along down the pike...Can you imagine Taylor Hicks is THE American Idol?? unbelievable.

11. American Idol is a big freak show until they get down to the last 10 finalists. My daughter tried out in Orlando 2 years ago and saw so many talented people passed over for the freaks that could draw a good television crowd. She said she would never her put herself through that again. The Country Star talent search is a litle more human. Glad to hear Chris Daughtry got signed. He is so very talented.

12. The first two are the only ones who would EVER be chosen for the show.

13. i like that song aint no sunshine when hes gone and christina was even pretty close on the music notes hehee...mostly i like the song. if the contestants pick the right songs that people love thats who the people will most likely vote for...that and cara and christina both have the makeover factor going for them and would probably look like idols once made over.

14. I absolutely love this show. My only disappointment is the first few weeks when every crackpot who can't carry a note gets to bore us to death their non-talent and downright stupidity. I simply cannot understand why FOX drags out this part of the show for so many weeks. After 1 week of this , I stop watching for a few weeks. FOX is very lucky they don't lose viewers during this period of time. However, once the talent really gets rolling is when I become an avid fan of the show. Kudos to Taylor Hicks for winning last year. He was my pick fo win, and YES, just in case you're wondering, I did calling in and vote many, many times
