OVER AMERICAN IDOL................

It took me several weeks before I could tolerate watching American Idol without Simon Cowell.  As harsh as he could be, he also gave constructive criticism which seems to be sorely lacking with the new panel of judges. Some of the talent this season seemed to be really special so I did tune in.  Sadly, the voting system needs to be tweaked -- I am sure I am not the only person who feels the wrong contestants are being voted off.  First Pia Toscano, now Paul McDonald.  It sure seems that the voting is geared more to a popularity contest than a talent contest.  I've had my fill for this season -- any thoughts?

AMERICAN IDOL SHOCKER!

So, did America get it wrong, what do you think?  I have had no problem "singing" the praises of my favorite contestant on American Idol, Paul McDonald, but I really thought Pia Toscano would be in it for the long haul.  What a shocker last night when Pia was eliminated -- sad, but she will go on and have a fabulous career like other contestants who were voted off too soon.
