Why Have American Idol Ratings Dropped? - Comments and Message Board

I'd like to add,the only judge who had "checked in" for duty IMHO and I've seen every season except season 1,was Mariah. She gave people have a chance,like the the clueless Sikh at the end.Personally,I hope he gets a lot more chances. His singing was brief but capable of of switching from classical forms to modern ones. I think some judges might be surprised just how much breath control those long classical phrases take and how much more power his lungs have that he was unaware that they wanted from him. I listen to this music frequently and rarely with microphones. The singers never need them and are used to performing in halls that don't have them.Jackson was as useless as usual. I was glad when I read he was leaving. Why is he back? And Keith seems too not connect with Randy and to fear the 2 women. This is not good.
