Watching Idols yesterday I wondered if a contestant would get extra fans/votes if they treated Randal with complete disrespect or disregard. For example walking off stage when he's commenting or rolling eyes etc. I reckon they'd get lots of votes for pure entertainment value to see what they'd do next.
 
Oh you think audience votes really determine the winner? How adorable.
 
Only watch to laugh at the people whos family and friends foolishly lead them to believe they can sing. Apart from that dont care.
 
Ye, this season was not as catchy as the last, watched the begining to have a good few laughs but stopped watching afterwards.
 
I have also been in the music industry for many years and my feel is that they need to do a bit more PR on Idols, but then again we won't know what the viewer stats are???

I would do a rebuild of how it is presented to the community so that it creates that hype and buildup as it used to.

The problem i also find is that very few winners actually make something of their music career after Idols.
 
Randall knows what his talking about.. Dissing him to get more votes would result in someone winning the comp. that cant sing. But yes its the worst idols season to date

I definitely agree, and for good reason. Its either you can sing or you can't sing and its about turning those that can sing into platinum record sellers.
