A new season starts soon. Here's a link to an article about it.

At least the producers admit that they are to blame for last season's catastrophe. At the same time, Simon Lythgoe says he's grateful for Sanjaya. Are you kidding me??? Sanjaya is the reason I stopped tuning in. The show was terrible because of him and I felt every episode revolved him and his hair and his lack of talent.
Hopefully this season will be better although I'm not nearly as psyched for it as I was for past seasons. I might watch the first episode and see how it is. If I notice that they are still showing more on the terrible singers during auditions than the good ones, I'll stop watching.
