Season 8

Season 8 of American Idol has had a rough start. From what I have seen, there are not many who actually have talent. They even did something different this year, where the 36 contestants were split into three groups of twelve, America votes, and only 3 out of the 12 would make it to get to the top 12. Once three were picked from each group, America will choose the remaining three out of the remaining 27 not yet in the top 12. I personally think that they just decided to do it this way because not that many out of the top 36 were that good. Also, I think that the new judge, Kara, does not really know what she is talking about. She is basically another Paula Abdul for the show. Maybe as the season goes on, there will be better talent, but so far, there are not that many who have really good voices.
