TEN TIPS FOR RYAN TO KEEP HIS JOB:
(FOR USE ON SEASON 10)

1. Stick to the script. Don’t go off on a tangent that could put a contestant in an awkward light. Remember Didi? Don't prod until you hit a nerve, okay?

2.Keep the chitchat with the judges to a minimum. Or focus on one a night. You’re killing quality judging comment time, dude.

3. Let the contestants do the talking. Hang back, let them show their personalities more. God knows we needed that a lot more this season!

4. Connect your DJ experience to the music scene and market. You’re knowledgeable, too, so don’t play dumb. Your professional opinion counts if you insert it carefully.

5. Show some more compassion onstage. These are show-biz virgins, and you need to shepherd them a bit more gently. Devote a show's prelude to recapping the BBQ you threw for them. Show them some love!

6.Make Ellen feel like she’s part of the show. We know you have history with your boyz Randy and Simon, but you’re kind of not feeling the ladies. Show them some extra love!

7.Be vulnerable. Do something dumb, play up the theme nights in costume, attempt singing, but stop being so plastic. You’re a pro. We get it. Where's the ***** in that bulletproof suit? Are you really a robot? Who is Ryan?

8. Make jokes about yourself. Keep everyone else out of it.

9. Leave Simon alone! Your sarcastic remarks have hit below the belt this year, and you’ve alienated your audience by pushing this love-hate thing too far. The guy is leaving. Is this how you send him off, in a flurry of mean-spirited inside jokes that ruffle his feathers?

10. Call in sick or be busy for one or more shows a season. Do you have to be there every single show? Auction off your job for charity. Not just the elimination show, but maybe a performance night or two. Keep us guessing.

Ryan, “Idol” wouldn’t be the same without you. But as the show hits its 10th season, there have to be some changes. You’d do well to think about your role and surprise us next time around. You’re the consummate host. Finesse it. Don't just phone it in. After all, in a couple of weeks Simon won’t be around to be your verbal punching bag.

Can't stand Ryan. It only gets worse every year. This is the comment though that makes me want to smear his head into a concrete sidewalk:

During Nashville Star's first season, Idol host Ryan Seacrest took a jab at Star on the air, calling it American Idol "without the talent."
No talent? Miranda came in third on that show.

Calm down there Nancy. My money would be on Ryan in that fight.

This was the full paragraph....

Lee DeWyze got "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, selected by Simon. Can we f-ing kill this song already? It's so overdone on Idol and it's obnoxious. So it's a perfect fit for Lee. Since Simon owns the rights to the song, he'll run it into the ground.

Gotta admit, Lee did an incredible job with it. I wasnt impressed with Crystal at all last night really. Casey's first song was boring, but Daughters was a great fit for him and he executed well in my opinion.

Boring final three this year. I'd have to say Crystal is the best out of them all. With the right songs we could hear a lot of her on the radio.

I'm not all that impressed with Lee and think Casey has a better chance of making it. Lee just seems boring and scared. Even the two albums he has out on Amazon sound blah.

I guess we'll see what happens when their records come out around November.

Casey for his first song should have broke out some SRV last night. I could hear Pride and Joy or something along those lines really making a scene on there.

Would rather watch more of them going home than little talentless teeny-boppers.
