A Wildcard To Remember
After four seasons without a wildcard show, American Idol is bringing it back in Season 8 tomorrow night. It will be slightly different than Seasons 2 and 3, with no America's Choice wildcard voted through by viewers this year.(Note: Clay Aiken was America's Choice in Season 2, and Jon-Peter Lewis was America's Choice in Season 3.) It's a shame the producers eliminated America's Choice because that was the best part of the Wild Card show. Now it's just a judges' choice show, and does anyone really think that American Idol is anything but a big judges' choice show anyhow with the pre-competition screen time, singing order, and manipulated judges' comments. Of course, when the best America's Choice was already chosen, why bother with more. *g*

Allegra,
Great recap of American Idol's Wildcard history! I am grateful the episode was in place during Seasons 2 and 3. Where would we be without America's Choice from AI2?
Kudos to Fountaindawg for the amazing Wildcard graphic!
I included a link to your blog in mine. Have a super weekend!

The people being able to choose their favourite wildcard, Clay Aiken, was the best voting ever :)
