    It FOX does not stop taking its audience for granted, they will (okay, probably not, but it's nice to think they will) tune out and on to more engaging programming.

    This episode was complete filler. It was essentially a recap of what we've already seen. Yes, there were a few new performers, but for the most part, it was film of performers who were either excellent or just plain pitiful.

    I cannot believe that they are cutting Hollywood week into half for this! FOX, I've sat through your pitiful audition shows and now this?! I want to see the talented contestants.moreless

  • Fox is pushing it.

    Fox is really pushing it. Do they really want all that extra money, so they put in a filler episode that they know everyone will watch aswell? C'mon, sure they atleast got to show the other great unseen talent, but the bad ones were not even funny. They were just annoying. Why do we need the lessons anyway? There have been five past seasons of Idol and I think people get the message of the dos and donts. They just showed clips from past episodes and that was really boring. I only gave it an 8 because they showed some good talent.moreless

    The episode had no depth and was not entertainig. The main episodes were better than this one. I bet that every person in America found this episode much a dissapointment as I did. This is nothing more than a recap episode. The ratings probabbly went down because of this episode.

    "Great"
    By jasonvoorhees50, Feb 08, 2007
    Ok i know one of the draws of the auditions to idol is watching people who think they can sing make fools of themselves. but i think this show has gone to far. i can't believe that there is that many people in the world that truely think they can sing and its obvious that they just want to try to be on TV anyways...this episode showed some the best and worst that weren't shown before. some of the best in this show were amazing...and some of the worst well...pretty bad. anyways as we go to hollywood week i'm excited and a little mad at fox showing several people who are going to be eliminated...dumb promos...i hate teasers that show to much! in fact i think i just have teasers now. but anyways looking forward to seeing some of the singers that i enjoyed from other citiesmoreless

    The auditions are over, and the folks going to the next part of the audition process have been selected. So AI decided to treat us to a best of show. We got to see some audition of good folks who could not seen, but the funny parts where the people who could not, and had attitude. Too funny to watch them have this look of "what do you mean I can't sing?" Then some folks simply came so they could meet Paula or Simon. Some people tried to dance, guess they did not realize they were supposed to sing? The show had some funny moments. Looking forward to next week to see who will crack under the pressure. It happens every season!!!moreless
