@Alex95 look up Kaibrienne because she's been a mess  She's giving us AI7-AI9 levels of implosion and we've just finished the semi-finals.

I mean she advanced with a terrible version of Confident

It wasn't one of the two worst performances and I will take solace in that

oh she's gone next week.  She had one of the best performances Sunday and had to be wildcarded Monday.

Honestly, I think her song choice on Sunday probably alienated some of her voters. She's been doing rock songs all season and then suddenly did a Mariah Carey ballad.

She should've done this, tbh

Me finding out someone covered MCR

 

Me finding out it was some weird slowed down version of Welcome to the Black Parade

I hope you hate it as much as I did.  The General Discussion forum has been creaming their pants over it since it aired because she's a young PWG.

I give it two weeks tops before she's voted out in favor of 7 country singing white people and two token minorities

Seeing as how she was one of the wildcards last night, probably.

As much as I like having the extra two live shows, they're not at all convenient when I work 2p-11p on Mondays.

I know I’m late, but Meghan Trainor as a mentor????

I don’t mind including posthumous releases typically, but I do mind including Aaliyah’s.
 

Not her fans caring more about her legacy than her relatives.

That line was like over an hour long. I went to meet Kimberly Perry from the Band Perry instead of waiting in that disaster of a line though.

lol so did we but that’s because the only person we had any interest in meeting was Colin.

Idol has their own meet and greet booth. It has Iam, Megan, Colin and Haven last year. ( I think) I didn't wait in that long line because I didn't really care about any of them. But yeah it's not just country singers there.

Wé was there last year as well.

This happens every season, and yet every season I have to remind people that ABC (and thus American Idol) has a massive tie-in in the summer with CMAFest. As long as that transpires, this show will continue to skew towards that demographic. Seeing as how it’s been beneficial for them, I don’t think they care.

Anyone think they’ll announce Katy’s replacement in May during the finale?

 

or make us wait till summer?

They’ll wait until the last second so they can stay in the press until then.

The show needs a big reboot next season because as a die-hard from Season 1, I am BORED. These judges are not good and the show is so stale now. Bring back funny auditions too and also make Hollywood Week good again! I liked the drama.

I agree. The judges are useless and offer no constructive advice. Telling everyone they’re amazing and could be a superstar does them all a disservice. The days of Simon Cowell-era judging is gone (for good reason), but there’s a happy medium. Shockingly, I thought Keith/JLo/Harry was the best panel because they all had different strengths and offered advice.

I’m fine with the joke auditions being gone, but six audition episodes and one Hollywood episode was a miss.

The theme should’ve been truly Rotten and the restriction was  under 10% because then I would’ve had some great picks.

I don’t really hold much faith in the social media numbers tbh. The finale has already been edited and sent to distributors, so the posts are basically just engagement.

Hailey probably should’ve waited a few more years before trying out for American Idol. 

I’ve felt this way about pretty much every minor on Idol except for Allison and Casey.

McKenna was the best of the night by far I think.

She’s leagues above everyone else this season, imo.

Just now, m1key said:

it's one thing to not prefer her take on the song, but the theatrics in this comment are far too much lol. you're acting like she served a KBlocks level mess  MCR are not this untouchable band that need to be gatekept lmao. 

I missed anywhere in my comment where I said MCR was untouchable or should never be attempted.

I was actually looking forward to it when the song spoilers came out because I’ve been wanting someone to perform them on this show for years.

And there’s zero theatrics in my post. At least K Blocks performance last week was entertaining and a fun mess. Abi’s was dull, lifeless and sucked the energy out of the song.

But she’s young, pretty and inoffensive, so she can do wrong to this forum.

McKenna continues to be head and shoulders above everyone else this season.

Also I’m pretty sure Lauren Spencer Smith is the first time a semi-finalist has come back for a guest performance (since the comeback round was like an actual competition), so good for her.
