Say what you want, but so far this season is a hell of a lot better then Season 6. Not only was the season fugly as hell, there were like 3 good singers, and no one had any kind of personality.

People were rooting for Antonella and Sanjaya for crying out loud. Myself included, but still.

I agree about the "BEST TALENT WE'VE FOUND SO FAR!!!" hype pre-season!

Did they only allow the top 24 to choose between 50 songs from the decade? What a dumb mistake. No wonder this week was so underwhelming. Idol always seems to do its best to handicap people

To the tune of Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed."

All this time, I've been waiting on season 7
It's sad but true
though I know for damn sure that I'll
hate it
I've watched far too much
ever since season 2
Though deep down I know
the outcome's severely skewed

All the dreams, that we'll watch crumble before our eyes
We'll blog and laugh
while delusional hacks go dreaming
They've come oh...

Agreed, every other season we got to see the contestants in their element during the semis. This is the time when we are supposed to get to know the contestants and their originalities. Save the themes for the top 12.

This will be the season where we all realize we need the VFTW people to hold our interest throughout, without them it's far too boring!

How much more fun would it have been if we had Josiah around to totally despise and battle against his fans all year on the boards?
How great would it have been to root for the politics freak especially with the election soon? He might have sung patriotic songs and we'd all have to give his gawky wonky self the VFTW crown!

AI...

i had high hopes for this 24 after seeing the auditions, but after this week i am feeling this is the worst bunch yet!

however, they always suck the first few weeks. it'll be interesting to see who gets weeded out, because there's no clear winners yet. there are a few clear early boots though.

Last season's early top 24 boots are better than the cannon fodder this time around

Most of these people sounded a lot better during the auditions. There must have been a lot of nerves pulling them down. At least I hope so.

I never visited all of 24 contestants is season 6, Can I research and see them?

This season seems to be about marketability, or what the show sees as marketability. Carrie, Kelly, and Daughtry are their biggest sellers, so we get a sea of rocker chicks, rocker dudes, and blonde country cuties. Unfortunately, so far they all seem like very cheap imitations. There's also a lot of focus on looks, even though most of the people we're supposed to love, like Michael, aren't as attractive as they think.

With a few exceptions, I thought S4 had the worst...

I disagree. I think the men are miles ahead of the women this season. Aside from Ramiele, it's a mediocre bunch. If a guy can't win this season, they probably never will.

And yeah, the talent is very disappointing so far. The only three contestants I like are David Archuleta, Michael Johns and Ramiele.

Once again, the women blow the men out of the water.

I think it's a lackluster season in terms of talent, but compared to most I think this time around there's more interesting personalities,

Season 2's pretty bad too. 5/6 of the contestants in that season wouldn't have passed the auditions. And they're all fugly.

Worst group of any season I've seen. (I didn't watch first season.) Honestly, there are maybe 3 singers, TOTAL, I give a damn about at this juncture. I think I might just get specific performance times here reading your East coast play-by-play, and go back to Biggest Loser and ANTM live. Seriously. For the first time ever, I was WTF about most of Simon's comments. I hardly agreed with any of the 3 of them, the entire night. Jumped the shark, I hear you knockin' at the door.
