They need to cancel American Idol asap. This is pathetic. Not even fulfilling the basic purpose of the show
The fact that we, people who spend our free time on a pop music forum, had to ask which person was the AI winner says a LOT. Hang it up and retire with whatever dignity they have left.
This. The show is clearly not producing any stars. The ratings are terrible. The next season needs to be the last because all of it is embarrassing.
I googled AI's winner and it's no shock why he has little-to-no fans

During his interview with AfterBuzz TV following the Top 5 elimination show, Caleb Johnson made offensive remarks about his fans who tweet him song suggestions. "[Twitter] gives access to a bunch of retards to talk to me," Caleb said. "I don't really enjoy having to see somebody telling me what song I have to sing. I think at this point of the competition, I can pick and choose my own songs and represent me. I don't need 10,000 people saying, 'You should sing this, you should sing that. Listen to me!' Fortunately, guys, I'm going to listen to myself, whether you like it or not."
His comment has been described as "arrogant", with some fans turning against him. After his fans expressed outrage on Twitter, Caleb issued an apology on his Facebook page. "For the record that juvenile comment I made in the interview was not directed towards my fans but to the wackos that send hundreds of hate messages a day to me! You guys are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Sorry if it offended anybody it was the wrong choice of words. Also I greatly appreciate it when you guys give me song suggestions but it gets really overwhelming at the volume it comes in so please understand ! Rock on !"
Because his haters send hate in the form of song suggestions? A mess
YOUR TOP 15: Disney's Marvel of a Mix, aka the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, prepares to log another week at #1.
