American Idol 7 Contestants Have No Personality Says Simon Cowell

Since American Idol got it’s lowest ratings IN A MONTH according to Nielsen, Variety.com has asked Simon Cowell "to pinpoint a collective flaw in the season 7 cast"

His answer?

Personality. They are giving very safe answers to questions, making safe song selections. We are not getting a sense of who they are. We have to try to pull it out of them more.

Overall, 23 million viewers watched the Mariah Carey themed night, 7 million less than what Ryan Seacrest keeps insisting are watching. Last week ,during Idol Gives Back, only half of that viewers actually watched!

American Idol is my favorite TV show but personally, I am actually pretty bored with this season after Ramiele got eliminated (she’s my favorite). I didn’t even watched Idol Gives Back last week.

It’s funny how people keeps saying that Season 6 has the worst batch of contestants in AI (Sanjaya, anyone?) and now, all their rants become how the finalists this year don’t have personality.

Did the producers made a mistake in eliminating Danny Noriega, Amanda Overmyer or Ramiele Malubay by sticking to bland contestants (personality-wise) like Syesha Mercado?

Well, Season 7 still got 5 weeks more so it’s not too late to save this season. Right now, my picks for the title are David Cook and Carly Smithson.
