My American Idol Tuesday March 2, 2010 Report

Things are starting to get interesting on Idol now, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons.

New judge Ellen Degeneres continues to add little if anything to the program. They waste time with a 4th judge who has no really useful advice to offer that the other 3 judges can't offer already. I think this is going to take a toll on the ratings for Idol eventually.

Here are my quick opinions on the guys so far:

Michael Lynche: He is not as good as he OR the 4 American Idol Judges think he is. The song he did this week has too many long pauses at the beginning that turned me off. It appears the Idol Judges/Producers want him into the Top 12 badly because he is one of the few contestants this year that looks like a pro on the stage. He probably makes the Top 12 this year but winds up around 4th-7th place this year.

John Park, Alex Lambert, Todrick Hall, Jermaine Sellers: Not looking like they are going to be in the Top 12 this year. Their odds are all poor of making the Top 12 at this point.

Casey James: Kind of a Dark Horse. Probably makes the Top 12 and probably winds up in the Top 4.

Andrew Garcia: Wouldn't be a bit surprised if he actually gets cut before the Top 12. I also wouldn't be surprised if he is saved with another Top 13 Twist like last year.

Aaron Kelly: Probably makes it to Top 12 only because of his age and likability. If he does make it to Top 12, he will probably be one of the first guys to go.

Tim Urban: Probably makes it to Top 12 and might make it to around 5th place overall this year, but there is a very slim chance he could come out the winner if he improves a lot which is possible.

Lee Dewyze: If he doesn't make it to the Top 12, they might as well cancel this Idol competition right now. He IS the front runner right now. Simon is 100% correct about him, while the other 3 judges seem to be criticizing him just so the other contestants don't look as bad.


The only guys in my opinion who seem to have American Idol winning performances this season so far are Lee Dewyze and Casey James. It is no wonder they aren't hyping this season's guys as the most talented they ever had because that they are definitely not.
