My whole family and I love American Idol! We all watch together with popcorn and make it an event! It’s nice to know there are still “family” shows out there that young and old can watch together and look forward to every week!
Loved every season of idol.
I am a big fan and hope to see Caleb Johnson win!

The show is fine.
we used to be huge American idol fans, but when Simon left, we hardly watch anymore.
I was an American Idol fan in the past but haven’t been watching much in recent years.
My hubby watches the auditions religiously. That’s the part I can’t stand to watch. The people who obviously don’t belong there. I just don’t understand why they would put themselves up for that kind of ridicule. Ugh. Anyway, sometimes I like the show, sometimes not. I love the judges now. 🙂

I’m definitely a fan.
This probably makes me a big party pooper, but I have to be honest: I’m not a fan. I do pay attention to the winner of each season once the show ends, because it usually is a person with enormous talent.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

I think most anyone can get interested in watching a bunch of talented artists get together and work to achieve their greatest dreams! It’s inspiring!
I have the season so far on the DVR so I don’t have a favorite yet, unless you count Harry Connick Jr who I think is just fantastic.
i really enjoy American Idol – it is a great show – can’t believe its in its 14th season!

I watch it sometimes. It’s addictive once you get started!
So far I’ve only watched some of the auditions so I don’t have a favorite just yet. I missed a lot of the shows when we got rid of traditional TV and went to just streaming so I’m happy to be able to watch again.
