I think you may be missing out, Mel. There are some pretty talented folks in this years competition and fortunately there aren't any ding-dongs like Sanjaya in there or anything.

There is one thing that's irked me to no end, though, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed it.

Is it just me or are they really overplaying the whole forced dramatics thing this year? It really seemed to me like every single time when people were selected to make it through they went down the, "You know there's only 24 slots and it was a really really tough choice this year. You had some ups and downs, as I'm sure you'd agree, so ..... let's hope you've got a lot more ups in you because you made it through!"

I mean that works every once in awhile, but after you do it every time no one falls for it!
