The problem for me is the show itself. I find it far too homespun and schmaltzy... far more than Idol. And some of the acts are utterly ridiculous.I agree with you 100%...I couldnt' beleive it myself when I was looking forward to it every week...the reason: ELI

I caught him channel surfing singing Walking in Memphis and I was hooked...then I saw Nuttin But Strings...WOW! So...I ignored the smaltz crap and was happy I did..the final 20..10...5...extremely talented and entertaining...and...err...oh...did I mention Eli?
