If you were an AI producer, what would you change?

if a was a producer i would change...,



the top 36 format back to the top 24



if i kept the top 36 format - i would put in the top 4 vote getters from each group regardless of gender.



if i did the wild-card - the American people would vote on the wild-card



I would show only those auditions that make it to Hollywood.



I wouldn't show drama at H-week and only show the performances.



I would limit the vote to the # of contestants performing equals the # of votes per method. Each voter decides how to use those votes.



I would either get rid of the save all together or do this; bring back all the contestants that left 13-6 and have them perform and have America vote and have the final say on the save.



I would have the top 12 make a cd - each one singing a song that they perform on the show. Like they did for season five.



Which leads me to this - why does the studio version sound so different then the live one?? I would fix that to - it doesn't make much since.



I would have an original song night at the top 4 or top 3.



On results night - i would have only past contestants perform - and not the ones you hear play over and over again on the radio. The ones with cds out or coming out that gets little to no play. I know people like the so-called 'superstars of ai' but they have the exposure they need; and i feel that a lot of people is missing out on a lot of excellent music by the other contestants.



Plus once the top 10 is pick the judges would go away - at least from the airtime, they will have there say during dress rehearsal.

:) Definitely some good changes and I agree with several of them.

Boy Do I agree

Sounds good but it would defeat the judges purpose and their favorite might not make it in.

Oh I LOVE the Audtitions, Love watching them and the judges reaactions to them.

It's for rating but I again like them.

Now I kind of disagree with this, because in my mind, if I can vote 100 times for a favorite so can anyone else, Not logical I know but it's true in most cases.

Get rid of the save..

They quit doing that because with the music industry now people were buying it off U-tube and AI wasn't making any money on it.

I've never listened to a studio version so not sure

Not sure about that one either

Good points of course, but they want to show off their success's and I think a lot of people tune in more so to see who's performing than to see the results.

What and miss all those great comments MAE how could you???

Honestly.....EVERYTHING. I would strip the show back down to its basics. Make it the fun show it was during the first five seasons.

After season 5 they had to start changing things to see if they could capture that MAGIC that was season 5 and regardless of what they do, they won't find it. The ratings were higher than they've been before or after, the talent has been good but not as good, even the Ford commericals have lost something in the mix ...

I hear ya there Sandi. Connie and I were talking about it. Taylor brought so much to the show as far as talent and entertainment. No one before or since has done that. I agree there's alot of wonderful talent but nothing like the energy of season five. :)
