No blacks are watching ai any more, simon where r u, please come back. America Idol has very bad rating, the judges are toooooooo white, none of the contestants could sing, it has been terrible for the last three seasons, even when Nikki m was a judge. We r now watching “the voice. Take am idol off it sucks

I would not buy his album – all he does is scream and that is not my kind of music. Jena on the other hand is so diversified and can sing “anything”. America got it wrong. This is the first year in 10 years that I voted; she is going to make it big!!! She is the whole package.

I’ve been watching this season from day one. Caleb you’ve rocked from day one, I love watching you!!!!!!!! There has been a lot of talent this season but for me CALEB is #1

What we have left are Team Rock and Team Bubble Gum. For me it is a no brainer. Caleb!!!

You sent the real American Idol home “Alex Preston” R loss.

It seemed that they are all very good in their own way but Alex was by far the best rounded musician, his voice was refined as is his guitar playing. Someone, will capitalize on his talent regardless of the outcome of American Idol

The judges have been fantastic this year. They really know their stuff and give good constructive critizisms. Hope they come back.

I think the judges need to go they don’t know what there doing. last week they use the save card to soon. go American idol im done washing you I wont wash if you don’t get different judges.

The judges are not the ones judging, or choosing you goes home. The watcher are the ones calling in and voting for them. So you would need to vote on the one you would like to stay on the show

my heart bleeds for malaya watson. she’s better than the others.

Malaya has probably got the best range, her stage presents was very soulful and I also believed that she was cut early but she had intonation issues that require refinement, if she did not have pitch problems, I am sure she would of been a tougher competitor. She is young and in a few years she will master the art at which time she will be a future winner of American Idol

You are right about Malaya – she was fantastic; the whole musical package. She will come into her own in a few years and people will remember her just like Jennifer Hudson!!!

The camera men are doing a horrible job. When a contestant is changing the tempo of a song we want to see facial expressions. There is too much camera on the judges and audiences. We want to see the contestants up close. Too much long distance shots and not seeing the emotions on the faces of the contestants. Shape up the camera people. This is the worst job of the camera people of any idol season.
