cant Wait for this!!
hope there would be great voices this year and a Sanjaya II?

This is gonna be such a downer after last season.. man there's no way that group will ever be topped

yayyyyyyyyyy can't wait

Hopefully another Kelly C or Carrie U will be revealed..

I want another Mikalah Gordon!!!

I can't wait!

Rumor has it this year the AIers can play instruments. Let us pray that helps makes it slightly more interesting than last years evil and stupid disaster.

And maybe they can pretend it's a contest and not shove someone down our throats.

I think that Season 6 was horrible so you can only go up from here.

♥ Lakisha & Mandisa

Hope this season gets more entertaining

Last season was the only season worth a damn. The top 3 was the best since like ever.

Where's that album Melinda?

i can't wait!!!!!!!

american idol is good
paula abdul

Wow "7" already? o_O

I caught a little of Paula's reality show awaile go, that was funny, even in the parts that were serious.

I'm ready for the next season; hopefully the twists are more than just the ability to play instruments.

Season 1: Good
Season 2: Bad
Season 3: Awesome
Season 4: Good
Season 5: Bad
Season 6: Awesome

The pattern tells us season 7 will be good

For me its

Season 1: Awesome
Season 2: Bad
Season 3: Good
Season 4: Awesome
Season 5: Bad
Season 6: Good

So it means that 7 wwould be awesome!

Can't wait, It better come on in the UK a couple of weeks later.

Season 1: Great
Season 2: Good
Season 3: Great
Season 4: Great
Season 5: AWESOME
Season 6: Horrible

Hopefully season 7 will have more Chris Daughtry's and Ace Young's and less Blake Lewis's and that dude who thought he was Justin Timberlake.

This show has to end. It's bout time.....

YEAH RIGHT this will be around for a while.... trust me... the money FOX makes off of it
