Would someone PLEASE put Lazaro out of his misery?

True confession: I watch American Idol. Always have. It's always disappointing and this year there are a bunch of pretty talented young women, mostly not my style but some can pull up some soul and might be good someday...and then there's Lazaro.

He's cute as can be but he is a terrible, TERRIBLE singer and looks as if he is sick with discomfort when he performs. He is notable for having a stammer and I feel for him. I suspect he fears he's getting votes as a combination of being vulnerable and adorable, because he can NOT sing. Please, Little Lazaro loving girls, let him go. Let him goooooooo....

most of the time it makes me feel like I'm on acid getting a tooth pulled while being audited by a Nazi I.R.S. agent while Donny and Marie sing Honkey Tonk Woman .

I watch the auditions and see if there's anyone who catches my ear. Some years no one does and I stop watching, but this year a few women did.

I agree with you about Lazaro of course, but I came in here to see if anyone else had mentioned Candice. That woman can sing, my god. She's been my favorite, but tonight was something else. She's amazing.

Candace was awesome!

They should not have been so hard on Lazaro - now he is going to get pity votes.

Glad I am not the only watching this train wreck. Still love the Voice too!

I actually don't like Kree as much as they do. She has a good voice but isn't as dynamic.
