You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. There is no point in arguing. Fortunately for me, the American public supports my opinion since Ramiele has consistently been among the top in the voting, despite the ridiculously consistent way the judges have underrated her.

And I have found Brooke’s performances to be (for the most part) charming and full of personality, and and it makes way for some vocal errors (a tiny bit). Whereas, I feel Ramiele lacks personality. Yeah, her hair looks good, but other than that, there isn’t really much personality and her performances are dull. And I don’t find Jason’s vocals to be so bad. And to me, his performances aren’t dull, as you said. They are actually sweet and full of emotion, with the exception of last week. Where he was criticized. Now I completely agree with what you said about Kristy since her performances are dull and he vocals are pretty bad. However, it’s not as if the judges are ignoring that. I mean, Simon has even said that Kristy was forgettable. So, no, the judges don’t tolerate Kristy. And I think they can give credit when it’s due. If they see someone who has great personality, but had a few pitch problems, I’m sure they’re willing to forgive them bit. But in Ramiele’s case, there isn’t much personality there and I think part of it is beause she dosn’t have much confidence.

I agree with you that Amanda lacked versatility, but I simply can’t say anything bad, in that respect, about Carly. She has the ability to really excel in her own field. and I think that if someone can do that, versatility should not be something that people criticize. Her lack of personality is a problem for me, though. Let us also not forget that there haven’t been many chances to be versatile due to the fact that two weeks in a row were basically the same thing. I wouldn’t put down Jennifer Hudson just because she wasn’t versatile enough.
Now, I started off disliking David Cook, but he has simply blown me out of the water. He’s got tremendous talent and great vocals week after week.
But, one thing that really annoys me is that people can talk about all the double standards, but what about their double standards? No one complained that Melinda Doolittle was a backup singer and therefore, had LOTS of experience. Or that Jordin Sparks auditioned twice and was on Arizona Idol. How come it’s okay for them, but for these guys everyone is going buck wild? Those are double standards.

And Toti, you also said this: “Besides, no one among the judges is a great superstar singer. So, how qualified are they to influence the public?” Are you kidding me??? Why do you think Simon Cowell is so rich? He is a major producer and Randy Jackson has worked with some of the biggest singers ever including Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. And Paula used to be pretty popular, and being a singer I think she knows what she’s talking about (sometimes, lol). I just don’t see how you could seriously make that statement.
You also spoke about ethnicity biases, but this year has had the most ethnic diversity Idols ever had. We’ve had a Philippino, 2 African Americans, someone who is half Colombian, half Honduran, an Irish girl and an Australian. you can’t get more diverse than that, lol.

but, did you now that they are doing a wild card pick for the tour
