It's was more about playing the sympathy card than finding actual talent.

Just take this show off the air! I do not want to see Fantastic Buttrito on anything. Ban her from everything.

No offense but this show sucks....ya lots of people watch it but only because we are all American Idiots..lol well since we are americans we watch this crap(i dont i watch lost!!) It sickens me to know ppl who watch it

Fantasia totally deserved 2 win. I <3 her.

i also thought it was sad to see jennifer hudson go. she was very talented

I did not care for the third season. Most of the singers were just not that talented and boring. The only reason I am giving it a 4 is for Jennifer Hudson. That girl can sing. I was so sad when she was voted out.

second is betta !

I Love American Idol, howevr I really didn't like season three. Pick better people Simon!

it's just a good show, with real people and i think the reason people like it so much is that they get to have a say in what happens.

Mr. Hung, your 15 minutes of fame are long since over. Now, put down the microphone, and slowly back away.

Horrible! What a waste of a time slot. I can't believe people watch this crap.

I think the show lost a lot of people's respect when better singers (Jennifer, Latoya) fell victim to the likes of Jasmine and even the two finalists who were not very good. http://www.small.to/article.php?story=2004052705280 8715

I love this show! its the best one of all. Ilike all the top 12 finalists. they are great.My favorets were Leah Labelle,George Huff,And Jasmine Trias.

The show has become a popularity contest versus a singing contest. Unless they change their voting policy, make this a legitimate talent competition, I will not watch it again. It's a shame it has turned into this.

All of the Final contestants are doing great. Fav is George Huff though... I was asked once how I pick my next American Idol... answer.. when I listen to them I ask myself would I buy their Album? if i wouldn't then I don't think they good enuf but George Huff.. Yes I would most definately buy his.. he has that voice thats hard to describe but when he sings you want to get up and dance.

This is a pretty decent show. I give Paula credit for being nice most of the time and at least telling the contestants some of the pros to their performance. Simon is funny, but a little cruel. Randy is ok. OMG, the guy that sang she bangs was funny as hell. LOL my friend bought his cd. I like Amy Adams...and I also like her pink hair. There are some truely talented people on there.

Just because your favorite contestants are in the bottom 3 does not make the show automatically rigged...and it doesn't make the show a popularity contest either. Believe it or not, but not everyone LOVES Jennifer Hudson. These are teenagers and young adults singing here, not DIVAS. They do not have enough talent or experience to deserve such a title. Get a grip and let the show go on without typical conspiracy theories....

I love the show, but I think that Randy and Paula need to go. Paula was not a good singer in the past, good dancer, yes, but singer NOT! and Randy gets on my nerves, (speak ENGLISH Randy). I like Simon because he is honest and these contestants need that.

Il ove this show but I think that Jon Peter Lewis shouls definitly be voted off next week! I love LaToya, Diana, and Jasmine!

Every time you watch this show, ask yourself... why are these people the BEST out of the many thousands of those who auditioned. I mean John Stevens?? JPL? Come on! These two alone would be better off super sizing your fast food order than competing in any serious talent competition. If Stevens wants to be a crooner, then he should look at the more modern day success of someone like Harry Conick, Jr., who managed to have recording and acting success even though his voice was (an can still be) a dead ringer for Sinatra. Poor JPL just needs to give it up. George, Jennifer, Fantasia and a couple others should be in there as they have some real talent and ability. But like Josh from season 2, there are embarrasing moments when the wrong people get eliminated and the talentless survive. Josh's was a bloc of military votes, but I can't imagine who would waste time voting for Stevens and Lewis... unless they have really huge families.

Love the show, not happy with some of the results

This is a good show but it has been a little strange something just don't seem right this year. Amy Adams and Latoya London should not have been on the low votes because they were good singing motown as all of the rest of the songs they have sang. The one that i feel should have been on the low votes is redhead John he was awful for one thing he sings to old for his age and he cannot take a song no matter what it is and make it his own he sounds like Frank Sinatra but a bad version of him. This show is about being able to take any song that they give you and make it your own and know how to sing it and John just can't do that. Last week he forgot the words to the song he was singing but yet he is still on the top votes if you ask me something fishy is going on here. I give credit where it is do not because the color of the skin as i hope all that vote are doing. Randy is not prejudice people need to know their facts before making statements Randy is married to a white woman. I really don't think he is prejudice. This is one of the shows that is not about black or white its about who is really good. Rueben was good Clay was good last year and Amy Adams was good and Latoya London is good but John Stevens is not good

i will tell you all something about american idol randy does not like white people if you listen heis all for the blacks. matthew shoudn't of went. latoya is the winner.diania and amy are awesome. simon is the show without him no one would watch. paula she is a phoney. jon redhead is wonderful and jon paul also randy is pushing for george to win. randy does not like white guys. jennifer should not be there it is painful to watch her fantaniza is good for someone with a speech problems. i call the something girl. jasmine is very good. the other hawiian girl stinks really bad so that what is think i am right winner LATOYA 2ND IS DIANIA

This isn't my favorite season of AI, I think I am getting a little tired of it. But after last night's performance, I have decided that Latoya London is my favorite. She can sing anything and make it sound good.

A good show if you want a laugh from Simon. I watched the wildcard show last night, and I was surprised in a way of who got in. I liked that Leah LaBelle got in, she is my favorite, but I was surprised Jennifer made it. And of course, there's John Peter Lewis. Ever notice how he looks like a hobbit?

Once again a smash hit. Paula, Randy, and Simon represent great contrast in judges - nice, somewhat judgemental, and extremely critical. My favorites this season are the girl with the pink hair and the kid who Simon says looks like a pen salesman.

i love american idol soooo much! omg n i love simon!!! ahhh!! my favorite person this year is william hung! omg he was da best!...n any bitchs that disagree with me...ur juss gay!

This is the first season I have watched American Idol and I am absolutely falling in love with it. It's a great show!!

I never used to watch this show cause I felt really bad for those people getting dissed like that, but they're was nothing on t.v so I watched it for the first time and couldn't stop laughing, im sorry but those people really cannot sing, and Simon is so funny with his famous line You're the worst singer ever. I don't know why people who think they can sing go on their in front of the cameras and really don't know how to sing how embarassing I would never do that.

The girl that sang Fever was good and those 2 buttheads said she was horrible. I like scooter-girl the best. Later: They cut Nicole. Damn. Maybe next year.

This show is an amazing oppurtunity for people across America to show what they can do. As for Simon, lol I love him. Hes funny. He's a little honest. This show totally ROCKS!!!
