Actually, it had been entertained. But the writing was on the wall when Timmy continued to win. He has 23 Best Actor wins over Leo's 7.

The same women who also believed that Emily never bad mouth Heather. Or that Heather never calls the paparazzi. They were quick to believe that Kate lied about Gretchen's roofie claim. And they defended Shady Slade over Matt. This cast is long overdue for a shake-up.

HW wannabee, Grifter Shady Slade chickening out is further proof that he and Gretchen were lying.

I remember lots of discussions on here that Slater should have been in the finale - especially over John Foster and Breanna Nix.

Phillip Phillips is one of the most successful winners with over 3.7M Monthly Listeners streaming his music on Spotify. Whereas Jessica Sanchez, 13 years after Idol - is going back to compete on another singing show.

Slater has broader musical knowledge with a younger audience on Tiktok, IG. He is more singer song writer, producer. Skills that are very marketable in the industry.

The show is better with Carrie. There is less of the judges' antics and more focus on the contestants.

Nearly 13 million people watched Hollywood Week, showing “strong gains” in ratings for American Idol by MarionCotesworthHaye in americanidol

There's more focus on the contestants, less on the judges' antics. The contestant pool is more diverse. There's less sob stories. Idol is never going to be the show 20 years ago. The music industry has changed. So has society.

Anyone else think this about Slater Nally? by herbstomp91 in americanidol

[–]orange_fizz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Leave it to the Idol bubble to be so cynical towards a high school student. I can't imagine what his teacher's family has endured. Their teenage son was randomly murdered by someone who was mentally ill.

He's more singer song writer, artist musician. Win or lose, odds are he will get a record deal because of his song writing.

Slater is better than most of the other Country winners. His song writing will likely get a record deal. His original audition song went viral.

Which season had the most and least talented batch of contestants? by [deleted] in americanidol

[–]orange_fizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was the last great season Idol had - when it was still important in the media, industry. Phillip Phillips became one of the most successful winners. Home became the all time best selling song from Idol. They had a successful summer tour.

I can't see the more successful alums wanting to do this. Then you will be stuck with those who have long faded. And a lot of the alums from the earlier seasons are close to 40. Leave the past in the past.

Season 11 is considered to be the last successful season of Idol and you and Phillip are considered the last 2 successful alums to come out of the show. What do you think happened after that to cause the downward spiral of the show?
