Dear American Idol,
I see you are making some big changes for next season which are very much needed. Last season was pretty unexciting and a continued step down the hill you've been walking on ever since season one. Season one was the best season because the contestants sang. They sang without all the gimmicky montages or celebrity mentors that really don't do much. I can honestly say that season one is the only season I ever voted on, my sisters and I actually recorded every episode on videotape. Well I voted until Tamyra Grey got kicked off but looking back that New Attitude performance would be hard for anybody to recover from.
For the past 8 seasons I have DVR'ed most episodes but have ended up fast forwarding through most of the show because it wasn't good. This year I am giving you another chance because I want to believe you can be better than you have been, I have faith in you. Just please do not spend 100% of the auditions telling sob stories and showcasing nutjobs. We want to hear good singers! Use the rule of quarters this season 25% sob stories where the singers are good, 25% sob stories where the singers are bad, 25% of the delusional crazies, and 25% should just be the singers that don't really have sob stories so we don't see them but they make it to Hollywood. Next I am begging you cut back on the creepy Ford and Coca-Cola sing a longs they are weird. Also the groups performances on the results show should only be allowed if their singing live otherwise they are unnecessary.
I promise I will watch this season with an open mind but there is only so much terribleness a girl can take so you better come back right. Make sure your new judges keep it real and don't come with the sugarcoated judging Paula was prone too. The whole reason the show worked so well was because Simon never failed to produce hilarious one liners. Thats why I will miss Simon, he had good taste and only liked the performances that were actually good.
See you later,
AFon
I had to pay tribute to some of the good advice Simon gave out, I don't know how this season will be without him :(
