Idol will never be like back in the day. They have too many hidden agenda's and we've asked for YEARS to
SHOW ALL OF THE TOP 32/36 so we aren't saying "who the fuck is that?" when the semi-finals start. Oh and Kill Kara off. |

Nods wrote: No. Just the opposite. Cut the auditions and Hollywood rounds entirely. Start the semifinals with a blank slate, and do the format from seasons 4 - 7 whereby only those with the lowest votes go home (in fact, if they cut all of the weeks of auditions/Hollywood, they can extend the semifinals and have one boy and one girl rather than two of each go home each week). During this semifinals period, make all the videopackages about their audition journey and their experience on Idol. Cut any and all personal crap from it. That way, come the end of 6 weeks of the show, we have a top 12 who have ALL sung 6 times without prejudice or unequal treatment. Then, in the finals, we can start to show some of their backstory, once the audience has already gotten to weigh in on them as SINGERS... |

I know it'll never happen but
1) Get rid of the Ford Probe (Kara) I realize they wanted to replace Paula. The fact is Paula is dumb (but knows it) but loopy(and knows it). Kara is dumber and fucking anoying since she thinks shes better than everyone else. Shut the fuck up Kara! is how every post starts now during TPBP 2) Post the REAL vote totals online (even after the season) Let us see with our own eyes that it's not fixed as you claim. To me this would restore an air of legitimacy that the show currently lacks. 3) Increase the age bracket. I know they want to find the next teen sensation so they can sell a ton of records to the Jonas brothers crowd, but at that age most kids can't sing for shit. Bring back Teen Idol if you want to do that then. Simple fact is most singers reach their best voice between 25-35 years old. They complain about young singers anyway. So the only people pimped anymore are between 21-27. |

1) replace Randy AND Kara with 2 legit new judges, preferably 2 highly respected people in the industry whose presence would make it inappropriate for Simon
and Paula to fuck around during the show.
2) let them play their instruments all the way from the auditions. 3) return to the much more streamlined top 24 and keep the groups format in the semis but divide them by gender. 4) No more fodder, it's too obvious that some contestants were put on just to make the chosen ones shine, a season full of real contenders would be incredible. 5) have the judges mentor at least 1 theme week each (that way they can shut the fuck up about song choices). 6) have the bottom 2 do a sing-off of any song they want and let the judges decide who of the two goes home (it's controversial but it makes results shows relevant) 7) no more guest performers/guest mentors. |

Allow only one vote per contestant per phone number.
Yeah, I know it'll never happen. |

Exactly. But it sure would be nice to prevent the teeny boppers from spamming votes for the zomg!cuteguy! every year.

Have people perform behind a screen until the Top 12 is chosen.

- Bring back the top 24.
- Highlight every single one of the top 24 at some point during the auditions/Hollywood part of the show. - Use the semifinals format originated in Season Four. In four years, it produced three outstanding casts. This system produces junk. - Fire ALL FOUR judges and replace them with THREE people who can give truly expert opinions on vocals. Yeah, Simon, too. He lies through his teeth. - Arrange the filler around the performances. Don't try to squeeze in the performances around the filler. - Duets? God, that's stupid. They are COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER. - Yes, you CAN have two songs each at F5 and F4, and three songs each at F3 and F2. THIS IS ABOUT THE CONTESTANTS SINGING. NOT ABOUT THE JUDGES. - Ten votes per phone line. No more. |

Fire all the judges and producers.
Keep the sob stories and pimping the same as now except cut all those people before the semifinals. That way we are left with 24/36 people that we've never seen before. |

. Get rid of the shit semis format and go back to the top 24, 3 week, 4 people per week eliminations. No more Wildcard or judge's save either.
. Make a new rule that EVERYONE who makes it to the semis has to be heard singing on TV before the semis start, even if it's just for a few seconds. Bucky Covington was heard for only that long, but it was crucial in getting him to the finals. . Get rid of, or drastically cut back on, the pointless 'chair' episode. Use the time saved to lengthen the Hollywood rounds. . Fire all the judges and replace them with the 3 much better ones from The Next Great American Band. Simon wants to leave anyway, just let him go. . Continue the ONLY good trend this season, cutting back on the 10 minute long terrible auditions. Use the time saved to lengthen the Hollywood rounds. . Change the rules so that anybody who was on the show but didn't make it to the semis is eligible to try again if they are still young enough. People who make it right to the end of the Hollywood rounds are presumably the best of the rejects and deserve another chance if they want to try out again. . Bring back the season "best of" compilation CDs. . Make all elimination episodes 30 minutes long. . Concentrate next season's auditions on two areas that have been horribly neglected the last few seasons: good white females and good black males. Kelly and Carrie have sold more CDs combined than ALL the males who have ever been on the show (I actually worked out the math). They need to let some white women thru if they have great voices even if they are overweight or not great looking. And there's got to be some really good black males out there too. They keep cutting good ones like Ju'Not (best male not to make the Wildcard), and leave too many others behind in Hollywood. . Get back to the two songs in the top 4 and 5, three songs in the top 3 format. We want to hear at least as much singing as we used to, if not more. And release ALL the voting results (numbers, exact positions) after the season is over. |

If we must have 60 minute results shows, at least focus on the contestants. Interviews, background stories, behind the scenes shots, etc. I don't need to
see Katy Perry AND Jordin Sparks. Jesus.
All final 24/36 contestants should be featured by or during the "chair episode" and if you can't show their original audition due to licensing problems, choose a Hollywood performance. An individual performance, not just a White Chocolate type performance. They always pimp the wrong person in those (Matt>Kris? No way.). |

Bring back Nigel Lythgoe.
He didn't come back for this season. This season lacked suspense and nasty elimination result shows. Nigel was good at creating nastiness and treating the contestants in a nasty way on results night. Get rid of the "save" card- took away the suspense on elimination night. |
