I don't think anyone here would waste their time to vote for someone on something as trite as "American Idol". The first two series were very typical, and I was able to pick the winners right away. This one, on the other hand, isn't such a clear choice.
However, saying that I'm not certain as to who will win it this year doesn't mean that it isn't pointless and banal. I don't enjoy the concept of it, but yet I can't turn away... It's like a horrible car wreck; I can't help but take a look see. I'll probably watch tonight too. Sick, I tells ya, sick.
The really enjoyable part of the series is the at the start, the try-outs, where we get to see all the delusional rejects that think they can sing. After that, it just becomes karaoke night in front of America.
There's no doubt some have talent. Some deserve a break, and should be recording music for everyone to hear. Personally, I can do away with all of it, since it's stuff that I would never listen to.
Jasmine Trias is a surprising and remarkable talent; that voice from that body doesn't seem right. Cute like you wouldn't believe, too. She'll be a top finalist, maybe #2, but I don't think she'll win it. There's something missing from her voice... I think her accent and the nasal-ness of her voice comes through at points in her singing which will eventually expell her from the competition. It doesn't matter in the end, because she's such a noticable person that she'll be famous anyway, if she wants to be.

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
