I watched the first hour of American Idol last night and I was really disappointed. Most of the performances were boring! I can't believe that out of all the hundred of people that auditioned, these are the top 12!

I liked the last girl that performed (Mandisa??). Kellie was okay, but she just reminds me too much of Carrie. I was very disappointed with Katherine, I didn't like her song choice. And am I the only one that thought she looked pregnant??

Brenna has got to go, she needs a comeuppance, she's just too arrogant, which would be fine is she had the talent to go along with it. Even Paris was a little boring. I did enjoy Lisa's performance.

But all in all, it was a boring show. And I think 90 minutes is waaay too long. At 9pm I turned on my VCR and turned the channel to watch Amazing Race!

What are your thoughts??

No, you're not the only one. When Katherine came on, my wife & I looked at each other and said "Maternity dress?".

We've been tivo'ing AI and run through them very quickly. We ran last week's 2 hr shows through in about 45 minutes each. Last night's 90 minute show took about 1/2 hour. We just watch the performances, judges comments, then go on. It's the only way that makes the show watchable at this point.

And I agree about Brenna. At first, I liked her spunk. But as you say, you need talent to back that up. And last night, she was painfully bad.

Easily the worst AI show in memory. Katherine's outfit was pathetic. ALL the performances were boring, except I thought that Mandisa made that song, "Cry", her own.

Kelly Pickler is evil. I find her irritating. If she was REALLY adorable we wouldn't need anyone to constantly remind us how adorable she is. If she were to win it would be almost unbearable, hearing that thin reedy off-key voice warbling from musak sources in supermarkets and malls and office buildings across America.

As good as Lisa and Paris are, the most amazing talent among the women is Mandisa. She has such a powerful and emotional and mature voice! She could sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and I would be enraptured.

Brenna Gethers is the choice of Vote For The Worst, her and David Radford. Brenna also KNOWS that she is the VFTW candidate, and she as much as acknowledged that in her interview with Ryan Seacrest, saying that what the judges think doesn't matter because there are people who are going to vote for her anyhow!

Rumor is that Katharine is leaving the show sometime in the next couple weeks to pursue a career on her own. Her mom is supposedly a real stage witch and there is reportedly some serious friction between her and the producers/19E.

Tuesdays show

I didn't get to watch all of last nights show, but what I did watch wasn't that great. I think Mandisa has the best voice, but others have the looks. I really don't like Katharine. She is too fakey for me. I pretty much agree with what others have said.

I agree with everyone's comments. Last night's show was Boring with a capital B. I can't tolerate Brenna. How she survived last week's vote is beyond me. Hope she goes this week. I do like Mandisa and Lisa, though. Paris just looked and acted way too old last night. Didn't like her "great-grandmother's" song choice, either.

I sure hope the guys perform better tonight. One compensation.. Lost comes on tonight!! Woo hoo!!!

She's the "Vote For The Worst" candidate, her and David Radford. She even acknowledged it in her interview with Ryan Seacrest. She knows she's bad, and doesn't care; to her, all exposure is good exposure.
