Terrible top 12. this year is such a dissapointment compared to other years. I mean what the hell, want a B Justins, donny osmonds, terrible. Not that those guys are any good either.
I cant believe I waist my time watching this junk. Ruining Diana Ross songs is not great entertainment.

I can't believe Chris butchered a great song like Endless Love which was the song I chose for my wedding way back 25 years ago. I believe that makes the song a classic and should be left alone and sung the way it was written! That was a horific rendition!

This is the worse group of top 12 in American Idol. I have no one I really care about.
The 'IT' factor does count, and the judges are the ones that forgot this. So they can keep their mouths closed about any of the 'top' 12 Idol contestants. forgetting their lyrics. This includes the ones eliminated for doing this in the Hollywood try outs, some of which DID have the 'IT' factor and were much better than their top 12 selections. Bottem line...The judges are truly lacking this year!

True, this season's top 12 are weaker than previous seasons. But truthfully, I can't believe the unrefined star-power that resides in both Melinda and LaKisha! I got goosebumps from both of their performances last night!

For two different AI performers to give a jaded old punk-rocker like myself the chills in a single Idol evening is still a pretty good feat for a show in it's 6th season.

The only reason they are are ignoring Taylor is because Taylor refused to sign with Simon Cowell's label and be a puppet to the label that he did sign with. In the end....when Simon, Paula and Randy are doing infomercials years down the road....Taylor will be the only former idol with a music career.

what are u talking about?? Taylor Hicks is signed with Arista Records in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by American Idol creator Simon Fuller. and kelly clarkson will be around as long as taylor hicks will be; America loves her.

The judges picked these contestants and now they want to say they lack the
skills of singing. They had so many talented singers auditioning for this
season. I think they need to take a look at themselves internally and evaluate
what am I doing wrong when choosing a contestant for American Idol. I only have heard two good singers and that is Malinda and Lakiesha.
