Besides, I read they signed all the judges and Ryan to a new 3 year deal. Fewer mentors...and mentors who are not promoting their most recent album? They say they want to see who these performers really are and then tie them to genres they are not familiar with. Let Jason and Brooke types do folk, let David Cook rock, let even Krisy do her country and let Syesha do Broadway. Let little David do ballads. Oh...they do let little David do ballads. Oh well...you get my point. And I absolutely hate the results shows. Even when you want someone to leave...its painful to watch.
