2. Oh Brother not again, I am so OVER American Idol I wish it would dry up and disappear, (like all of the other shows like it) Hey Hasselhoff your 15 seconds of fame is done!!! we have become a society fixated on reality shows, come on people there is more to life than watching people fail miserably and humiliating themselves on National TV!!!! And havign to listen to Paula and Simon. Hello anyone out there hear of the crisis in Israel and Iraq??

3. Debbie,
Lighten up.. It's because of the problems in the world that we need programs like
American Idol. It's entertaining and some of the kids actually have talent. Even the
one's who don't have the balls to get up and sing... And there is always the option of turning the TV off or turning the channel...............Jolene

4. That f**king fixed show hasn't given the world a finalist to give a damn about since Clay Aiken lost to that fatass mediocre talent, Ruben Studdard.

5. I don't know what the point is to this show because the winners (Tayor Hicks) never become actual entertainers.

7. I look forward to seeing American Idol each week, especially when they are down to the top 12. I could do without seeing most of the contestants with no talent. I like to vote for my favorites.

8. I enjoy American Idol, So You Think YOu Can Dance, and America's Got Talent because it's the only live entertainment on television in prime time. Hey, I miss Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen. We need some live performing entertainment on TV and the big audiences prove there is a demand for it.

10. Idol rocks!!! Sometimes they drag it out too much but it's interesting to watch and funny at times too.. It's also a show you can sit down and watch with the whole family - which is important... I also like to look at Paula here and there - she can be my idol any day..

11. If you dont like it then dont watch it. But I think the show is great, it gives people who really do have talent a chance to show it off in a large public venue on television which they would not get to do otherwise. AND people do actually win and make it like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, even Bo Bice cut a cd, and I,m sure we will hear more from Taylor Hicks as well. There is a girl from my Home Town of San Antonio , Leslie Brooks,who is trying out this year and I am sure she will make it to the semi finals as she has already won some city wide contests, So where would all these people be without American Idol, they may never have been discovered as the music industry is very tough to break into without the contacts and know how. So I say Thank you American Idol for giving the unknowns a chance

12. I have loved AI since season one. As far as people thinking there have been no successful winners, they obviously haven't followed up on their information or have narrow opinions of success. I think the show has a positive focus, and offers a chance of a lifetime to some talented people who may have had a hard time getting exposure otherwise. When America isn't following the political mumbo-jumbo and the depressing news reports... AI offers a great reprieve. I will continue to support the show and look forward to the folly and success. That's what makes it a "reality" show.

13.
American Idol is a fast track to fame. Where else can the talented kids get a chance to sing and show their talent., and be seen by millions. Sure most can't sing, but it does not hurt to let them try. Those of you that have no interest in Music, get a hobby and make yourselves productive. The rest of us will enjoy the show for another season.

14. People, you want reality show's then watch the news channel about how the greenhouse effects our earth and what we can do about it instead of these silly a..'s shows.That my friends is REALITY!!

15. I love the first few CRAZY episodes but then that's about it! I also think I would rather see the panel judge the winner. I know that Simon is a little controversial but 9 outta 10 times I agree with his decisions.
