Been getting into american idol this season, as this is the last year we will see simon cowell, and he seems a little more gentle this time than in past years. Maybe he knows it is his last so he wants to leave on a good impression. I like ellen degenerest, she ads some humor to the show, and she has some good insights on the singing. Seems like this year is better than ever, i just can’t believe there are ordinary people out there that are this talented just waiting for their chance to be discovered.
