Elliott

If she isn't going "I'm sorry, can we start over?" and then barely holding it together afterward, I don't want it!

Not me posting that it's one of the worst things I've ever suffered through in 22 seasons, and then watching my confused reacts pile up

The spoilers told me she restarted her song twice and she did nothing of the sort. I was so pressed when she just glared at her piano and kept going.

You forgot Julia. Not that she should have advanced after what she did to I Believe.

Because ABC realised tying the show into CMAFest made them a crap-ton of money so they pivoted into becoming a reincarnation of Nashville Idol. I have no idea what's happening with SYTYCD. I tried to understand the format and it confused me.

@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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

There was another season of Australian Idol??????
