American Idol

I am ready for the talent to begin! However, as I watched the episodes this week, cutting them down to the top 24, for the first time in the 9 seasons, I got the sense that the producers had a heavy hand in picking them.

I am not saying that they picked the wrong 24, I just got the sense that they felt like they had to hit the diversity marks, to ensure a wide coverage of audiences.

I guess after a few weeks we will see just how good they are, but I am not convinced they got the best!
