So much for continuity huh?

Here's hoping THIS one isn't a typo either. I have a theory about why Group 1 is so heavily slanted with talent. TPTB are hoping to string out the anxiety to the max. It's clear some real contenders from Group 1 won't make the top 3, so the hype will stay high and everyone will tune in through the wild card selections to see if any of their remaining faves get picked for the wild card. Nothing like the ultimate tease... Hey, if they really have swapped out Matt B for Michael S, that would be a major relief. Here’s hoping THIS one isn’t a typo either.

We've seen him cry ONCE. They've mentioned three times, but the last two were like barely at all. It's his story...expect to hear it at least once more in the pre-performance package. It's the reason he chose to go through with the audition, to honor her memory. That's what he said at his audition time. I don' think it's that big of a deal.

From the people who posts here it looks like Danny, Adam, Anoop are the early favorites, would be interesting to see if this is true in general and if the poll can predict the Top 12 or the eventual winner (I suppose Top 12 is likely, the winner perhaps not, but it'll be fun either way).

I skimmed over the list as key search words, didn't read it properly. Wondered where the whacky dances went. Ok next stupid question, what are they going to narrow the field down to, in other words, they going for top 12 from the three groups or top 24? If 12 that means only 4 from each group which is a whole lot of suckage as there are more than 4 in that group that I like! Amazing how the attention whore was right behind Ryan for the camera of top 36. Get the F*CK off my screen you looney bag!!!! Thank you MJ!

If I wanted "reality" I'd watch "The Real World". Although, more and more, "The Real World" is turning to cast members who want to break into show biz and get their music noticed.

What brings interest to other reality shows is not lost on Idol producers. So you are going to get some sort of drama queens more and more. They know a certain segment of the viewing population will tune in to see trainwreck TV and that is what Idol has gotten to be about -- bringing in the viewers. Of course there is a singing competition going on and, honestly, some of the nuttiest cases they have brought onto the show have had decent voices by the time they reach final 24/36/(48,S.9??). I think Nick has a good singing voice and is bringing some much-needed humor back to the show. Tatiana will bring the high strung drama, but she <em>can</em> sing. Idol has a casting plan and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But every year we get personalities, "stories", and, as a bonus, some great singing, too. That is one reason, despite having to mute Tatiana this year, I will be along for the ride for an 8th time.

Since back story and air time are going to be the determining factors in AI this season, lets just hand the contract to Tatiana, or Nathaniel, or Danny, or heaven forbid "Normund".
