Members KMan101 Posted May 8, 2014 Members Share Posted May 8, 2014 The show was renewed. WHHHHHYYYYY? Ratings are SINKING but compared to their comedies and Glee, it looks like a ratings winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 8, 2014 Members Share Posted May 8, 2014 FOX has other problem areas to worry about. I see this show staggering and limping along for a couple years before they take it out back and put it out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 You called it. Literally a "couple" years. What have been our favorite seasons of the dearly-departed? My main Idol bff and I have long established season 7 as the best, followed closely by 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 3, 6, 8 & 12 are definitely my faves! I think 8 might be my fave. I loved the addition of Kara. Though she was mostly grating at times, I loved that the judge count was even both in number & gender (loved this about 12 as well). The season also provided my favorite idol performance of all time, Adam Lambert's "Ring Of Fire" AMAZING! I get chills evrytim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 For all the flaws this show has, at least its contestants still benefit from the show unlike The Voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 The show was good right up until Paula left. Was that season 8? After she left and they brought Ellen in it wasn't right and Simon somehow knew it was time to leave. Early American Idol though was excellent. I love these and remember this so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 The last season I enjoyed more of than I didn't was season 6, although the show's obsession with Jordin marred it. I think the best seasons were 1-3, then 5 (aside from shrill McPhee, another producer pet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 Anyone watching the finale? It was nice to see Paula, Randy and Simon once again. I wonder how much money they paid Simon to say that the current judges were doing a great job? Even Brian Duckleman made an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 Season 10 was the last season I watched with any regularity, and they REALLY got into the essence of the show's glory days tonight. Extremely well-done finale, and I only saw the second hour. I didn't think they'd be able to top Simon's last episode, but they knocked it out of the park.It hasn't been my show in years, but I'll still miss it. No other competitive singing show in the US will ever top it, especially that heyday from about Season 3 to Season 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 They should have ended Idol after season 9. The show was not the same without Paula and Simon and the winners chosen got absurd and ridiculous. The season before this one was downright awful and so was the winner. This season I watched towards the very end and thought LaPorsha should have won over Trent….I even like Dalton over Trent….thats why I am glad the show is over but is it? I have heard rumors Idol might be back on another network but with a different look. And I was surprised to see Clay there after he trashed Idol and the judges…LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 Meh at the winner. I am not surprised. I knew LaPorsha wasn't gonna win it even though she was clearly the best of bunch by country mile. No wonder why I gave up this show back in s4.

Members Soapsuds Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 Exactly….and btw Fantasia was awesome tonight! Love her voice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't know....as nice as it was that they went all out to bring almost everyone back from past seasons...I just felt the emotional impact the finale should have brought wasn't there....hard to explain...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 The finale was more about seeing past judges, hosts and the winners and runner-ups of the show with some other former top 10 finalists included. I just hate what they did to the theme music. They totally botched it through the years. It sounded so generic the last couple of years and don't get me started on the awful judges the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 8, 2016 Members Share Posted April 8, 2016 It was a nice nostalgia trip to see all the familiar faces and original judges. Was a huge fan of the first, about 8/9 seasons of the show. Gave up after too many white guys with a guitar won and overall lackluster singers. It was almost sad seeing the forgettable white guys with a guitar that were all shoved together tonight, while all the women who should have won those seasons SLAYED. Well, David Cook shouldn't have been shoved in with them and Phillip Phillips is talented and has had some nice success. It was a good nod to everything about Idol. I'm glad it's going out now although I suspect it will be revived at some point. Zzzz to Trent winning. I knew LaPorsha wouldn't, although she should have.
