It's that time again, American Idol 2010

I watched the guys’ performances again before I watched the results last night (love DVR!), and I have to say that America made the WRONG decision. Simon was right... the other kid that was up against Joe (who was brought back on the show after having been kicked off) got by on his looks and the fact that people felt bad for him after Simon’s comments. Even HE looked shocked when he realized he was staying.

And Mullet kid stayed?! He was probably the worst out of all of them! Ironically, 70s kid didn’t get by on his looks like the other guy did.

(Oh, and after listening to the guys again, I realized I somehow missed two performances! I LOVE Lee! His voice is great. And I agree with Randy that he should try singing a Kings of Leon song.)

I also really hate this format for the top 24...I'm already bored with this group and we haven't even gotten down to the top 12 yet.

Generally, what is the format for this level of the competition? Or do they change it every season?

This is the format they have used for the Top 24 for the last few seasons, but they used to have three groups of eight (male and female) perform and the top three vote getters from each group moved on to the Top 12. Then they would have a wild card round, and the judges each picked their favorite to round out the Top 12.
