Wow. Is this season already starting with the drama, or what?
It seems like there is so much crying, arguing, whatever. They had the top 36 show. Why in the world they are doing 36 instead of 24, it must be this new producer but I don’t like it. We were shown, I can’t spell her name, Joanne pasceli(?) and she made it through to top 36. This girl named Felicia got turned down. Well now, since this top 36 show is prerecorded, now the story has come out that Joanne is in a private relationship with people at 19E which is the same people connected to Idol. So she was disqualified and Felicia took her place in the top 36.
There is a legally blind guy in there this year. I hope he goes far. He has a nice voice too. He did “Home” by Daughtry and I didn’t think it was going to be that great, but he surprised me. There were a lot of past Idol’s songs. Like “Before he cheats”, “because of you”, “home”, and more that I can’t think of right now.
The new voting system, seriously what is this new person thinking messing Idol up like this? Instead of a top 24 we have a top 36. That is weird enough. Usually we have 3 weeks listening to them sing and one or two gets voted off each time but you get an idea for people and that is how a fan base is created. This year the 36 are split into three groups. The f irst week, group one will perform. The top three vote getters of the night will be announced the following day. Those three make it through to the top 12. Same things with groups two and three. That gives us 9 of our top 12. Then the judges pick three people of the 27 that haven’t been picked yet. That gives us 12. I just don’t like this at all. Group one is supposed to have some really good people in it. I can’t think of the names, but I remember when I saw it there were like 6 of my favorites. So only the top three of each group gets through? I don’t know, I think ratings are going to drop.
So, this year looks like it’s going to be odd to say the least. Maybe I’ll complete the season, not sure. Something is telling me to give it up since my hearing isn’t great and I miss a lot of the “drama” and stories and all of that, but I do enjoy the singing aspect of it. We shall see.
