American Idol Season 12

Since "American Idol" first started in 2002, I watched every year until season 8. I couldn't watch season 9, 10 and 11, because I was busy. This year, I started watching the show again. When I think about the first show when Kelly Clarkson won, there were many shaky performers in top 10, but as the popularity of the show grows, the level of singers in the competition went up. Yesterday was "sudden death" of first group of 10 male singers, but cutting half of these great singers must be a difficult thing. I guess they have to consider the style, looks, stage presence and performance, so not every good singer could get in, but I was surprised to see that they let J'DA go. I thought he was the best overall performer in yesterday's group. Well, I'm not a musician, so I guess I didn't see what they saw. My guess for this season is "Angela Miller" to win. We'll see.

Over the years, there are many people who won the competition. I don't know why some of the winners are kind of gone and you never hear again. They got so much votes from people in order to win, so they must be popular, so why? Some of my favorites that I don't hear about are Fantasia and David Cook. I don't hear about Kris Allen either. Probably they are doing fine as artists, but they are just not that much "out there".

Let's see how this season goes and if the winner or any of top 10 would become someone to be remembered many years later.
