Just watched it. JDA not making it was really lame. He's the perfect blend of Prince and Boy George. My dream final two between him and Zoanette is crushed.
On another note, I feel guilty for it, but I cannot stand Charlie. It's nice that a kid with autism (he has to be autistic right?) is on and all, but he cannot sing. He totally killed Rocket Man... in the bad way. I hope Sir Elton takes care of this shit soon. I'm sure he has access to the MI6.

I loved Charlie's audition, I think I said so earlier in this thread. He sounded like some kind of cool slightly underdeveloped Freddie Mercury/Karen Carpenter combo. But Rocket Man was horrible yeah. And the banter annoys me but I'm putting that down to awkwardness so I'm trying not to get irritated.

I died when Zoanette started singing the opening song from the Lion King. She needs to win. Now I get to vote for her 1000 times a week

Charlie is fucking scary. I hope Mariah did beef up security, cause something tells me they're gonna need it.

Right? He needs to be sent home. I don't care what America's votes were, they need to override that shit. He seemed incredibly unstable and it was pretty scary. Also he can't sing for shit.

He can definitely sing, he proved that in his audition. He's just so not ready for this at all and I hope to god he doesn't get sympathy votes because he needs to be pulled away from the pressure, not thrown into it.
Amber is my favourite right now. So natural.

I want to pet Paul Jolley.
Totally lame Zoanette didn't make it, but glad Charlie didn't. Could do without the guy that cannot open his eyes though.

I don't know if I can make it through this season. The top 10 are all so boring. Jessica Sanchez singing with Ne-Yo reminded me how good last season was in comparison. This season from the beginning has been so, bleh.

2013 American Idol Ratings Drop to New Lows, Will the Show Be Renewed?
American Idol ratings continue to freefall, reaching new lows even as the show ramps up to the Season 12 finale in May. Can anything stop American Idol 2013 from continuing to slide down the slipperly slope into eventual cancellation? We just can't figure out what is going on with American Idol ratings this year. Everyone expected the ratings would drop from last season. That's been true pretty much every season for years. We did not, however, expect the ratings to be consistently the worst since 2002. Or that Thursday night's Top 8 results show would be down 50 percent from the Season 12 premiere. The elimination show fell another 7 percent this week, down to a sad 2.8 rating in the key 18 to 49 age group. As Entertainment Weekly noted, the show was beaten by Grey's Anatomy in early numbers for the 18 to 49 target demographic... That's crazy! Okay, granted, the judges this year are kind of boring. Even Nicki Minaj is getting predictable and says the same things over and over. Mariah Carey is totally checked out and doesn't even realize she is repeating questions Randy Jackson just asked. Keith Urban is cute, but never says anything that interesting. And, let's face it, this year's crop of contestants is, on the whole, pretty lame. Even so,American Idol is nose-diving way faster than we could have predicted. Even worse, The Voice is about to premiere and steal even more of its core audience. American Idol still managed to lead the night with the most overall viewers at 11.7 million viewers. Although, we have to note that CBS comedies on Thursday were replaced by NCAA basketball. CBS comedies have been trouncing American Idol ratings on Thursdays almost all season so far. Here is how the numbers broke down by network in the (advertiser-preferred) adults 18-49 category: FOX: 3.9 ratings/10 share; 11.214 million viewers ABC: 2.0 rating/5 share; 6.661 million viewers CBS: 2.0 rating/5 share; 9.261 million viewers NBC: 1.3 rating/4 share; 3.781 million viewers CW: 1.0 rating/3 share; 2.276 million viewers American Idol led into Glee, which was up 35 percent from its most recent episode, so that helped FOX’s ratings win the night, too. While American Idol may no longer dominate the way it used to, the ratings are still likely decent enough to still keep the show around for at least one more season. Maybe. lol, Raw gets better ratings than that. This season killed this show. How sad. Last year was so good.

Everybody's Out Of 'American Idol'Randy is out. Say bye-bye to Nicki. Mariah take a hike. And that country dude, whatever his name is, get lost. They've all been fired from American Idol. At least that's according to The Wrap, The New York Daily News and other sources. Faced with declining ratings, which dropped this season overall by 25% from last season, and getting beaten by competitors such as NBC's The Voice, Fox has decided to restart American Idol from scratch. According to reports, the network has decided not to renew the contracts of all the judges at the show, including even Randy Jackson, who's been with the show since the very beginning. On top of that Fox reportedly will also dump long time AI executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, with the aim of finding some replacement with fresh ideas to reinvigorate the show. The only person who's obviously safe and will stay on is Ryan Seacrest, who's either Satan Incarnate (which I've always believed) or has some incriminating pictures of Fox executives.

Randy is confirmed to leave. I want the other three to stay, they've made a good panel.
Hoping Angie is out tonight, but I'm not confident.
