Not Cool, eccentric is the name of the game for American Idol. Paula is a fixture that makes the show!
Now that she is gone; my entire family will not be watching American Idol!! Please bring her back.
The family extends "nationwide" and is huge; we have many friends who will not watch Idol any more.
Please bring Paula back!! Idol and Simon let us all down!!!

The funniest thing about running this site is the amount of email you get from people wanting to complain to the producers of American Idol.

The best ones are from people, or in this case relatives, who didn't make it passed the auditions when they believe with every ounce of their being that they're so good that the very essence of Michael Jackson is coursing through their veins.

So here's an exchange I've just had with one such auditionee's family.

The American Idol auditions wrap in Denver this week after trail blazing across the US over the last few weeks.

Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles and Orlando have already had their turn and it wont be long until the season will be hitting our screens again in 2010!

I have quit watching reality shows because of just this kind of thing happening. Whether it be American Idol , Survivor, or America's got talent, the wrong person always seems to win. I have sang with bands for over thirty years and I can tell you that Adam had all of them beat the first time when he auditioned. Anytime you can go from a low octave range to one that is out of this universe and do it on key, you are a singer. I know in my heart that Adam will have a tremendous career, even with the ones of you who are upset about his sexuality. Guess what!!.

If you thought the voting scandal in Florida that saw George W become the 43rd president of the United States was about as big as it got you'd best think again.

As it turns out, the surprise to many that Adam Lambert hadn't actually won American Idol and that the dark horse Kris Allen had somehow managed to pull off the biggest upset in history now appears to have been rigged by block voting - thanks in part to AI corporate sponsor AT&T

Of course, AT&T claim that it was only reps who attended two parties in Allen's home state of Arkansas and that only 80 phones were given out. Some math has been done which suggests those 80 phones could only have drawn a maximum of 96,000 votes and that they wouldn't have affected the final result because the gap between Kris and Adam was a large margin.

Whether or not it didn't affect the outcome, it's still fairly dodgy to have a sponsor handing out tools that could assist in one person winning over the other. Especially when the other person's fans aren't treated in the same way. The bias stinks!

And as for the "large margin", what does that mean? Most polls had it either very close or swinging Adam's way. That didn't happen. This entire situation smells and could be damaging to the future of the show unless the voting system can be refined.

KISS KRIS for KHRIST'S sake! Or Ahh..Damn ADAM?!

End those protests & insults. They are NO DOUBT the Best 2 of finalists and both truly stand in their own Limelight.

THE SUN- ADAM natural star, he belongs to entertainment industry with his own daring and forward style. Charismatic & stylish. He is a statement of his own.

THE MOON- KRIS shines shyly but surely, he has more room in the making towards a star. Quietly confident & hopeful. He can convey a statement to the world.

Adam gets you indulge in him. Kris gets you indulge with him.

First she showed up Katrina Darrell by outsinging her. Then she tears her dress open to show off her own stunning bikini body.

What did you think of this impressive stunt.

It's one of the questions that has been asked throughout the entire season of American Idol. Is Adam Lambert gay?

Photos of the American Idol 2009 runner up have surfaced with Lambert locking lip and tongue with other male folk, not to mention the incredibly camp costumes - although that could be due to the fact that he's quite involved in theatre. However, doesn't that say something as well?

They question that needs to be asked though is, who cares? Does sexual orientation dictate who is more deserving of winning a singing competition?
