American Idol...


So, I missed the first few seasons of American Idol but when I got hooked, I really got hooked. It was so amazing to me how people who were just like me were discovered and given the chance to fulfill their dreams. Somehow though, it seems like the judges aren't necessarily judging the quality or tone of the voice so much as they are how likable the person is. Of course this is a really important aspect of someone to be a role model in our country...if their voice isn't that great but their personality is...does that give them a place in the top 12 of the show? Last night two people were eliminated from the show. Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nunez. Sadly...while their performance could have been better...as it always could...two finalists with some of the best vocal quality and potential were eliminated and others with "quirky personalities" and "a current attitude" were saved till next week. Now America is the deciding factor...but the judges do sway our decisions don't they?
Do you think that to an extent personality has over taken vocal ability on the show?
