This show is not going to give any more superstars. Good old Phil Phillips closer we came in those years, and he never Carrie Underwood.Idol just getting old, as well as his audience (the company is currently included).Show do not give up yet, and changes in this season will see it quietly impressive and brand. The most noticeable difference is the fact that not a single judge or a mentor to the left of the original cast.

I haven’t watched a full season of idol in the past few years, but I always look forward to your reality check Michael! I followed you over from EW idolatry (R.I.P) it’s my favorite part of the spring tv season! Love love love Melinda too :)

Idol still hasn't learned to make the show about the contestants and not the judges after all these years. Endless close ups of JLo, all the goofing around and letting the judges talk is NOT why we watch.

My biggest problem with Idol is I'm on the West Coast so if I don't want to know who's doing what I have to stay off tablet, but part of the fun is reading comments as the show goes along. It's not as fun after the fact so I usually follow along NY time.
