American Idol Sucks Compared to X-Factor

First of all this week the guys and the girls got to choose their own song.  That being said, why did 90% of them choose old songs?? That the majority of the viewers can't relate to?  It was soooo awfully boring.  American Idol needs to get new people as far as producers and directors go to change up the show and make it more relevant.  I can't STAND Christina Aguilera but at this point I would rather watch the Voice then American Idol which I was so loyal to until now.  These kids on AI now are already too ego-tistical and if you don't agree with me you just haven't noticed it yet.  In the end, the are supposed to make records based on popular music.  So while they are in reality still trying out, they are all choosing music that our grandmothers and mothers used to listen to. I remember being a die hard and living for Tues/Wed and Thursdays just for American Idol.  Now I find I am watching it the following days on my DVR and fast forwarding a lot of it.  What the hell has happened?  I can't believe that this week none of the judges gave any kind of criticism.  They were all about it during the "drama" of the Hollywood weeks.  Now don't you find it odd that every single one of them just so happened to do great this first week?  I think it's because they don't want to make their show look like they have mediocre contestants compared to their competition.  In sad reality though, they do.  American Idol I think will soon go down in flames due to shows like the X-Factor or The Voice because shows like that don't have an age limit or a genre classification.  Why should you only be able to try out for a competition unless you are under 28?  Weird and what kind of message is that sending?  This has become one of the most boring singing competitions ever and it's frankly sad.  The show lost it's credit after Carrie Underwood.  Everyone since her hasn't amounted to basically anything worth mentioning.
