I really thought that American Idol had died.

Fortunately, ratings are starting to slip, so look for format changes and an eventual shark jumping. Probably still several years away from that, though.

I think they play musical instruments. I am much more partial to that than an open mic night.
I would glady find my own music than have it spoon fed to me by Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell. Enjoy the cell phone vote! text often!

That doesnt absolve them from being hacks. Where is Ruben these days? Fantasia? Justin? I dont hear any of their music being played. I think the only one that has long-term viability is Carrie Underwood. And the rocker guy who actually plays an instrument. I am sure that years from now, we will all be rocking out to David Archuleta's Greatist Hits. PS The shows I go to cost about $20 or less. $50 is Delta Center money, so no thanks.

Some of the contestants did play instruments this year. I thought that was a major improvement. The guitar and piano were played extensively by a few of the contestants. I do understand your hate though. The music is spoon-fed and not very original but david and david do have talent.

Are any of the real instrument players in the Finals? Does Archuleta play an instrument? And no, the tamborine doesnt count. I dont debate that these guys are singers. What I dont get is why anyone cares? A show where lounge acts sing cover songs every week? What is the appeal there? Is it fun? My wife loves the show and always ask her....what the heck do you see in this program? She never can say...she just says she likes it. She also owns zero CDs by American Idol contestants.

Ruben: was ripped off of 2 million dollars by his manager, but his first album did go platinum, He has sold 2.4 million albums in the US which is 5th best of the American Idol contestants. Justin: He was in an awesome movie called from Justin to Kelly............ok you got me. Kelly Clarkson- first album 4 million copies, 2nd album 12 million copies, 3rd album was released in December has already gone platinum. By the way Archuleta played the Piano this year, Brooke White played the Piano and the guitar, one kid played the drums and sang, Cook played his guitar on almost every performance. The pot head Jason Castro played the guitar, ukelele and spoons (ok I made that last one up).

The other ones....of course their first disc sold a lot. they got a year of free pub. The second disc...not so much. Sounds like Fantasia isnt even making records anymore. So you would pay to go see an American Idol concert? I know they travel around and do their little roadshow in large arenas. You would go to that?
