Season 7 and Season 8 were the two years I actually went gaga over the show, because I LOVED (still do) David Cook and I was a fan of both Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. They just made the show exciting and not as planned out.
This year? Feels extremely empty, to be honest. There's no one to go GAGA for. Ironically, it's the same year that Paula wasn't on the show.
I sense something here. Maybe between all her babbling and spurts of randomness, she was making sense. Without her, the panel is just too critical, and no one is standing out for me.
