Season 12 Post-Season Analysis
With Season 12 now over, Ken Barnes offers his post-season analysis with "Five ways to help fix American Idol:
http://social.entertainment.msn.com/tv/blogs/blog--five-ways-to-help-fix-american-idol
I posted this: When you see The Voice and Idol both dropping to around 11-12 mil, you know that viewer fatigue is a big problem. Idol's Thursday finale got 14.3 mil. But Idol's main problem this season was casting, casting, casting. Nicki Minaj turned off millions of loyal viewers without bringing in the younger viewers they were expecting. And casting a bunch of lame guys for a viewership that's at least 62% female was a big mistake. I know they really, really wanted a female to win, but the cost was too high.

Let me add that the viewers who left the show were likely Kree voters, so it's very possible that Kree Harrison would have won if Nicki had not chased away her voters.

Jimmy Iovine picks:
Kree Harrison - Not a great pick for her. Needed more edge.
Candice Glover - Very fine job. Made me wish she could scream like Fantasia, but that's ok.

Judges picks:
Candice Glover - I don't get the song choice. But good job.
Angela Miller - From New England, like Katie Stevens and Siobhan Magnus. Great pick, great job.
Kree Harrison - Good pick, good job.

Angela Miller - Nice job. Well-connected, very authentic.
Kree Harrison - Her vocal quality is too naturally soft for this. Needed more edge. She got some edge in there, but needed more.

Season 12 Week 16 Wednesday - Top 4 again
Rankings:
1. Candice Glover
2. Angela Miller
3. Kree Harrison
4. Amber Holcomb
Details:
Songs from 2013:
Angela Miller - Very cool. Last week, she was pushing too hard, losing her tone. This time she didn't force it, and it was cool.
Amber Holcomb - I mean, it's just a vocal exercise with her. She doesn't really get it.
Candice Glover - Bruno's version annoys me. This was just fine.
Kree Harrison - Nice job, she but could have picked a more known song.
Standards:
Angela Miller - She's so finesse this week. But maybe too finesse for this song. But still good.
Amber Holcomb - Very nice. Very old-school good.
Candice Glover - Great job. Stellar.
Kree Harrison - Somehow a little bland. Not stormy enough.
Group song - time filler
