Enough with the Idols already ! Did some loser working on your staff get rejected by this show? If so, get over it and start dishing on some real celebs instead of a bunch of never was has been and never will be Idols.

I think they have made huge mistakes by getting rid of all the actual talented singers, there are only a couple of good ones left.
