Last night will be the LAST time I watch a whole episode of American Idol.
I would say that unless you hate the format completely, to give it a try on a night when they're actually performing. The results show is tiresome and tedious even for the most rabid AI fans. Expanding it to an hour midseason this year was the most obnoxious decision to impact my TV viewing schedule. If you're new to the show, try watching on a Tuesday instead, next week should be good!

I think, and have long thought, that Jordin has the best long-term prospects of these three. She's got a great sort of happy go lucky personality and just seems generally likeable, and she's the one of the final three who could be a bonafide "pop" recording artist like Kelly Clarkson regardless of whether she wins or not.
