By the way... my favorite is Alison. Some weeks I like Adam and then other weeks he just creeps me out!
It was Season 3. Time flies, huh?Stephanie wrote:wx247 wrote:This is my first season watching the show so I must say that I am thoroughly hooked, but I do get tired of the dramatics involved with the saving.

This is the first season that they are are using the "save". They probably should've had at a few seasons earlier, but it helps to prevent the loss of someone that really is talented way too early in the competition. Although this only is available until the Top 5, there have been other contestants in the past that probably should've gone on longer or won. Jennifer Hudson is a prime example - I think she finished in 8th place. I forget which season that one was - 6 or 7 maybe. Chris Dougherty and Tamyra Grey, on the other hand, were a part of the Top 5 when they were voted off. Then again, just the exposure alone on American Idol has created fantastic opportunities for the non-winners. I think a lot of them were better off not signing with 19E/RCA afterwards (or would've been).

I didn't watch it then, so I had to look it up. I started watching in Season 6 and I knew she wasn't on when I watched. As to the save, I do agree that it could be handy. I think they would have used it on Michael Johns last year, who left in 8th place and everyone was shocked. They even showed a pic of him on AI when explaining the reasoning for the save. However, I think it would be better if they didn't make a big production about whether to save or not each week, giving the contestant false hope. If they want to save someone, they can interrupt and say so during the good-byes or something and there's no need to have all the dramatics each week if they're not going to use it anyway. JMO.
And oh how I love Michael Johns. He's got an album coming out soon and the new single, Heart on My Sleeve, will be released on April 14th!

Everyone keeps telling me to, but I honestly don't know think I know enough "pop" songs to make it. Plus, my range isn't that big and I sound a little twangy when I sing.
Perfect song choice for him. I like what Quentin said, that he looks forward to what Adam is going to do with a song on the stage.Stephanie wrote:Now they're rushing the judges again - did we really need to see Ryan swinging around in Randy's seat imitating him especially if there's a time crunch? There's now 7 minutes left and Lil still has to go. Dumb!!!

I don't get this... they even had HALF the judges comments as last week and STILL run over. Ryan needs to stop wasting time with silly nonsense. They've never run over like this before.
