Just wondering if anyone was still keeping up with American Idol now five have stopped showing it. I've finally caught up, but not as into it as previous seasons. Wondered what everyone else thought of it?

I am also furious with C5. Obviously this is the reason why there is nobody here!
Waiting 2 days to talk about this weeks show on DS - that's fine.
Waiting until the Summer to talk about it? That's not Fine. >:(
Really disappointed with the results this week.
They're an unusual batch this year - they seem really young/unpolished compared to previous years. I keep meaning to watch the 'Hollywood week' episodes again. to see what they were like then.
I do like the judges, especially Keith and Harry.
Thought David Cook was a brilliant mentor this week - he gave really good advice.
This feels like a lost season (like Simon and Ellen's last year on Idol). I like some of them but not amazed by anyone at all. The format is dying and while I like the judges, it's too late.
That said, I think the Southern-ness (winners for ten of the first 12 seasons) of Caleb and Jessica will pull them through to the final two. Of course, they're not your cookie cutter (i.e. not offensive looking) Southerner (Caleb has fun-but-unruly hair-- and personality-- while Jessica his pink hair)...
Which site are you using (if you're allowed to say?). I've still not been able to find a link that worked so am just keeping up to date with the Reality Check that Michael Slezack does on TVline (which is great).
I'm not crazy about anyone this year but I still love Jessica's voice. It's a shame that she seems almost embarrassed to be there these days.
I usually download a torrent file, but it can be complicated if you haven't used that method before. Diceroll_81's method in the post below yours sounds a good option - will have to check it out.
which was all very confusing - not knowing which results show went after which main show.
Anyway, I will persevere although it is a very awkward way to try to keep up.
Think my fave is Jena, but the choice is limited if you find it hard to enjoy the genre of the remaining contestants.
I really like Alex as well, but that may be because I prefer his style of music to Calebs.
I've found Jessica quite disappointing, I don't know what it is, but something is missing from her performances.
Sam has definitely improved since they used the save on him. but I was surprised they used it on him since they hadn't been giving him the best comments. I think had they kept it another week Malaya would have been saved.
Glad CJ is now gone, I thought he was the poorest and was lucky to survive as long, a shame Dexter went before him as I thought Dexter was the better male country singer.
When Jessica sings she seems dead behind the eyes to me., I like her voice but her face is expressionless.
Am loving the judges though especially Harry who has been a revelation.
Yeah all 3 judges have been great for me this year. Harry really knows what he's talking about when it comes to technique and can still bring fun to the show. I'm glad Jen came back because I thought she was great the last time she was a judge. The dynamic between the three seems to work too.
Glad to see my favourite, Caleb, is still in with a chance
Am loving Ryan... as usual.
Am loving the contestants... almost.
In fact am loving the entire show, but
Am HATING channel 5 for dumping it!!! Finding it unbelievably frustrating trying to watch online cos there aren't full shows available for all episodes - and while seeing the performances is nice, it's kinda spoilt by not being able to see the judges' comments!
Frustrated, angry and sad.
Oh and either Caleb or Alex to win!
I also thought the criticism of Jessica this week wasn't very fair, I've always thought there was something missing from her performance, normally emotion, but I thought both her performances this week were by far her best, especially Human.
Thought Gena's last song was simply incredible. One of the best Idol performances ever. And Caleb was not far behind (again - last song).
So pleased Caleb and Jena are in the final, it's going to be very close to call this year, as it really could go either way. I was dreading the thought of Alex winning as that would have been yet another WGWG (White Guy With Guitar) which there has been too many of in recent years. I would be happy for either to win but out of the two I would like Caleb to win, as it's time we had a rocker win!
Have Sky+'d it - although it is only on at 4pm on my planner
Even though I know the outcome, I would still like to see the performances so thanks for the heads up ;-)
It'll be something to watch when the football is on :D
