I still call bullshit.

Even Season 6 is shaping up to be way better. The talent this year may be marginally better, but they're all so fucking boring. Season 6 had Sanjaya, diva domination, nasally Richardson, Nosferatu, etc. You can't even rag on half of these contestants.

I think so far it's like a cross between seasons 4 and 5. Every season has had 5 or so worthy women, and this year is the same (I think Kristy isn't too good; Alaina would have been better). I do have doubts if any of the women are great. But this is definitely the DEEPEST group of male talent ever on the show, which is where Idol varies so much from year to year. There wasn't one bad singer in the top 10 guys (some I hated, like Danny, but they could sing). In that sense it tops...

Season 1: Success - Kelly
Season 2: Flop - Ruben
Season 3: Lukewarm - Fantasia

Season 4: Success - Carrie
Season 5: Flop - Taylor
Season 6: Lukewarm - Jordin

Season 7: Success?

Putting my personal bias aside, this had the potential to be a very good Top 12. There aren't really any so-called joke contestants, such as Sanjaya, Kevin, Corey, etc. As far as being the best, however, that has yet to be seen. Either way, as of right now I'm already liking the potential of this season more than last season, which may have been the worst season ever.

I actually like this season a lot, despite some in the Top 12 I don't really like. This is my favourite Season since 5 and 2. This year is way better than last year, in my opinion. Last year, I hardly watched and didn't care at all.

That's why you can NEVER tell what will happen. Some winners do great, others don't.
Then you have Jennifer Hudson.
You just never know.

S5 had the largest album seller of the BB year (Daughtry's old album outsells Carrie's new one) , two artists who sold 700K plus, two country artists with the biggest debuts of the year, one gold indie album w/a massive top 40 hit and two that didn't sell albums but got nominated for Grammys (Mandisa/Ace). Plus a girl who's in every tabloid mag and TV show. When S7 equals that it will be as good. S7 benefits from not immediately following S5 so it looks better than it is....

That's why it's fun to watch again.

I know a lot of people like Season 2, but for me it still had that over the top, extremely cheesy factor that the earlier seasons had. Next to Season 3 and 6 it's probably my least favorite.

I'm watching AI Rewind tonight...it's fun to look back at Season 2 compared to this season.

It's definitely a diverse group, but diverse often equals "good", which is what this season's performances have been so far. Nothing outstanding, they're all IMO pretty middle of the road.

What I do love is that sans Archuleta, there's about five or six people who could win. All of the others had clear cut favorites and that was that.

I think this is gonna be a really good season, regardless of who wins.

feeds@yuku.com (DHW RPh) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:55:27 GMT

For me Season 3 and 6 were the absolute worst AI seasons ever. Horrible singers, too many divas, and just boring. Season 7 seems so far on par with Season 2 and Season 4.

You can't really say for sure until the season is over. If most of this season's contestants flop, people will say it was a failure.

Season 5 produced a 4 million album seller and a bunch of gold album sellers. That's a tough act to follow.

I still think Season 5 had more personality than this season but Beatles > Stevie Wonder

feeds@yuku.com (McWolcott) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:38:45 GMT

I think this is easily the most diverse top 12 they've ever had, which is cool.

I remember how excited most people were about the top 12 in AI5, but the bad theme nights and bad song selections and some who never lived up to the hype made that top 12 much worse than anticipated. (that season was more about personalities anyway).

Re: Cowell: "Season 7 is the best Top 12 ever!"

feeds@yuku.com (opendoor50) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 20:09:06 GMT

There are def more people with a shot at winning this season. I think there are alot of talented people this season. But I still think S5 had more exceptional people. Remember, one day you'll have to pay $ to hear them sing. Right now, I wouldn't do that for any of them.
Still much,much better than last year.

Actually the could be on to something.... I think there are a lot more semi-talented people this year as opposed to like 4 semi-talented and like 8 horrendous people...

However... This is when I wish we had reverse voting.... because all I really want is for KKKristy and Screamesha to go... beyond that anything is welcome to happen....

I will say this is definently the most talented group of guys we have had since ... ever...

They all have some talent and...

I don't think this is the best, at least not yet. But A LOT of people have a shot at winning.

In my opinion....People I thought had a shot to win at some point from The Top 12 onward

Season 2: (Ruben & Clay)
Season 3: (Fantasia,Diana,LaToya)
Season 4: (Carrie,Bo,Nadia)
Season 5: (Ace,Chris,Elliott,Katharine,Kellie,Taylor,Paris,Mandisa)
Season 6: (Blake,Jordin,Melinda)
Season 7: (Carly,Michael,David A.,David C.,Jason,Brooke)
