I gave up watching a couple of years ago. There have been 3 or 4 travesties over who won and I just couldn't take it anymore.
If you recall, who was the winner of the last season you watched?
(This season was "head over heels" ~ too bad you didn't watch this time)The last season I watched was season 10 when Scotty McCreery won. He deserved to win but I gave up on it when 'The Voice' and 'Amerca's Got Talent' were airing.

Lauren Alaina was just as good and either could have won and I would have been happy. Flipe doesn't like country music, so I doubt they were her favorites. I'll let her speak. Flipe4u, lol Steve,

I'm not really a country fan either but he was the best singer that year imo.

It appears the judges want Nutsa to win and just guessing. I went through the polls online she's in the #1 position on all of them. I don't believe that she had to sing to stay. I think TPTB/Judges position the singers, so they get more votes.

This guy will sound awesome on records. He has a very soothing, strong voice. I prefer Iam winning over Nutsa.

Dazzal, was right, Steve, flipe can't stand country ~ twang/twang... UGHH! Didn't pay much mind to the McCreery season.... I liked Pia Tuscano and Stefano Langone out of that whole bunch.
David Foster swooped up Pia for his tour with his bride Katharine McPhee (Season 5) ~ Taylor Hicks won that year (SMH)
FYI, all: Adam Lambert will mentor the top 12 this Sunday night!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Adam Lambert was one of the travesties I was talking about. He lost to Kris freaking Allen. Seriously? There's no way Adam Lambert shouldn't have been the winner.

Wow! Me too! I watched the finals for the next 2 years and then just quit watching altogether. I was still upset that Melinda Doolittle and Crystal Bowersox didn't win their seasons.

In the beginning it took me a while to develop a love for Adam Lambert because of his flamboyant style, but now I love him. Awesome singer. I love this performance because Adam moves Cher with his version. I've posted this previously, but I think it's a superb performance. I also liked Melinda Doolittle. Flipe4u,Steve,

I agree Kikipetie ... And wow Dazzal! That was awesome! And he even brought tears to Cher's eyes! I'm surprised you know who Melinda Doolittle is. She does a lot of gospel music now. Her and Crystal Bowersox are my two favorite singers from American Idol.I think both of them are better than even Kelly Clarkson.

Steve, I know who the singers are that you mentioned. I've watched Idol from day 1, but not as avid the last few years. Kelly Clarkson is one of my top favorites. I liked Clay Aiken a lot and for me, it was a toss-up between Clay and Ruben. Ruben has a great voice, too. There's several that have really good voices. I liked Chris Daughtry, too.

I am disappointed in the top 12. I thought for sure that Olivia Soli would make it to the top 5. She was amazing every time.

I worded that wrong. I'm okay with the top 12, but I thought Olivia Soli would be in that group.

I wanted Cam to make it, but he didn't have confidence in himself. I hope he comes back next year because he has a great voice.
I wonder if the judges will surprise us and bring him back, because someone else had to leave the competition. I wish it would happen.

Dazzal, yes, I really liked Cam as well. I'm thinking Iam Tongi will win the entire thing. He's likeable and has an amazing voice. I do really like Zachariah Smith as well. He can sing anything and is fun to watch.

I had to look up Zachariah because I don't have all the names memorized yet. He is very good.

Wé Ani, Iam or Nutsa are all great and all fit the woke agenda of ABC / Disney. (IMHO) One of them will win this season.

Just came across this article; worth the read.
AMERICAN Idol fans have proclaimed they'll be skipping the show if another country singer wins this year.
Fans seem to be tired of seeing singers from the same genre competing and walking away winners on American Idol.
The newest season of Idol has several country-leaning contestants, like Colin Stough and MaryBeth Byrd.
Previously, the series has been home to several country singers, including Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, and Scotty McCreery.
There have indeed been several country singers to join the competition. However, this has also been true of several shows, including The Voice.
It still isn't sitting right with American Idol fans who tune in each week, particularly those in the Reddit community.
One proclaimed: "If another country singer wins idol, I will not be watching it anymore. There's so much other better talent out there. Almost half of the winners have been country singers IM SICK OF IT."
Another disgruntled fan agreed: "Seriously really tired of mediocre karaoke country singers sailing right through and black people voted out early.
"This is getting ridiculous," they continued. "It’s like if you have a fake accent, a hat, fringy short, boots, and/or a beard, you are headed to the top five."

Great article. Thanks, Flipe4u. I like the country singers, so it doesn't bother me. I get how people are annoyed with it though, because the country singers tend to win.

"It’s like if you have a fake accent, a hat, fringy short, boots, and/or a beard, you are headed to the top five." All subjective comments and the second one even had to make it about race. And the third one had to make it about stereotypes. Morons. If a country singer has the best voice in the competition, then a country singer should win. If someone from a different genre has the best voice, they should win, regardless of race, looks or anything else.

If someone from a different genre has the best voice, they should win, regardless of race, looks or anything else. Steve, I agree with you. I don't believe that half of the winners are country singers. They name Kellie Pickler and she came in 6th place. Many country singers have not been in first place. The USA as a whole has a great percentage of country singer lovers. I love country music, but I don't vote country just because I love it. I vote for who I think has the best voice. I love many genres.
I voted for Kelly Clarkson-Fantasia-Nick Fradiani-Clay Aiken-David Archuleta, and the list goes on. If you look at the following list the majority were not country singers.
