Just 10.9 million viewers watched last night, yet Idol was the No. 1 show of Wednesday night. PLUS: Kelly Clarkson (http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/kelly-clarkson-has-a-different-american-idol-reaction-than-clay-aiken-w160973) was “totally crying like a pregnant girl” during last night’s premiere.

This is American Idol's last season ever so what difference does it make? It's not that great anymore.

Yeah right, ever since between seasons 2 and 3, there was an infinite brawl back then and it continued up until now.
