It's like Idol is reengineering the show to make it more "positive"? For lack of a better word. So we focus on who's left and not who's gone? But I thought the goodbye montages were good too. <br /><br />So much of Hollywood is driven by random focus groups, I can totally see some 12-year-old girls at the mall telling Fox they don't want to see people cry.<br /><br />Since we missed most of the early rounds we didn't know if they had been operating the new way all along (through group week or whatever). <br /><br />Have the comments been sugar-coated? It's like the Simon Cowell days would never be tolerated now! He would come off as a monster. <br /><br />I get the feeling from what you said that contestants like Qaasim are staying in partly because of sympathy. Maybe Idol is betting that's the way to keep viewers? <br /><br />Let's hope we get tickets for the week Kelly Clarkson will be on the show!DrL/Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274399250467230144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243021926941325050.post-39090161636254591322015-03-13T09:23:37.357-07:002015-03-13T09:23:37.357-07:00Loved your take on the show.

I'll be back later with a brief take on last night!<br /><br />I agree with you about the weird changes. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would...but I miss the drama of the results shows. I loved the results shows because they also used them to bring back past years performers and you could see how they are doing in their careers. I also miss the goodbye montages. It was this stuff that gave Idol a "heart"...I'm not sure that this change is for the better.Rubbertoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777740922754711078noreply@blogger.com
