I don’t know how it’s going to do relative to where it was last year or the year before, but I never want to guess that anymore, because years I thought it was going to go down, it goes up.”
“How powerful is “American Idol”? Last year, the ratings actually were down slightly over the previous season. Even with this slip, however, “Idol” still outpaced the No. 3 and No. 4 shows in television, ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” and CBS’ “CSI,” respectively, by about 10 million viewers.
TheStateOf . . . American Idol. Sometime is wrong with you if you don’t like American Idol. Nothin’ better for some good, silly fun.
