American Idol has moved into the live performance rounds with the top 36. From what I saw and heard tonight it will be a very long three weeks until we get down to the top 12. What a dreary, long, and at times wince inducing two hours that should have been done in 90 minutes at most.
One change that would certainly help is getting rid of parents, love ones, friends, etc. who have to smile bravely to the camera and Ryan Seacrest after Simon Cowell had taken a hatchet to their hope for fame and fortune. The DVR comes in handy here so you can fast forward past the awkward moments. Unfortunately if you decide to listen to the singing most of it was terrible.
One, perhaps two singers were memorable and perhaps two more were passable. That makes you wonder if the audition process really works. Perhaps it's nerves that trips up performers that might be better than they showed tonight.
1 out of 12 is 8.5% success rate. Nothing more needs to be said.
