It's a fun show to see,obviously the finale is the best show to see since you'll get to see at least 5 contestants versus 3,I like to see an earlier show and then come back to the finale to see how the contestant that won the earlier show fares against the other competitors.I remember one time seeing this girl in the earlier show who was as good or better than a lot of professional singers out there,then we came back to see how she did in the finale and she blew everybody away.We goggled her name later that night and it turns out she was like a finalist in Panama's version of American Idol.Another time we saw the finale and then caught the boat to Epcot and the lady who won the finale was in the boat with us and apparently everybody in the boat was in the finale crowd as she got a standing ovation from the whole boat.
