I'd pretty much given up on Idol, but I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised so far this season!With Paula gone, and the judges being allowed to give constructive criticism (have they told the audience to stop booing Simon?), the show is actually doing what it sets out to do, and I'm finding myself being sucked back in. And it seems there's some real talent out there this year.
Now if only they would get rid of Seacrest . . .
