We hereby request a ban of all sob-stories from American Idol. We don't care what the story is; we're just tired of them. We don't care if you've battled severe cases of gout. We don't care if you used to snort coke off dead hookers and then found Jesus. We don't care if your wife died. We don't care if you almost died. We don't care if you've been spending every summer for the past 5 years spoon feeding paraplegics in Guam.
We don't care.
So, American Idol, just end it. No more tearful interviews. No more video montages set to a Sarah McLachlan song.
Just let the bastards sing. It's all we want.

| Kara | Stop playing for sympathy votes. This is a competition based on singing and that is ALL it should be about. If you have something to be upset about rant to a psychologist, an individual in person, or an advice column of some sort. Don't use it to get publicity. That sort of thing is lacking in class. | |
| Jeree' G. | Who cares?? We just want you to sing or make a fool of yourself! | |
| cindy smith | We want to hear them singing. Was totally disgusted with bleeps of cussing at Chicago. So low class and insulting to me as a viewer. I don't want to hear it. ENOUGH. | |
| Omar | Its outta control, I cant stand anymore of the sad stories or even the back stories, we dont watch the auditions to hear about this...save the stories for the top 10 | |
| Mark Scofield | For reals, besides the fact that it completely eliminates the surprise factor of "can they sing". Like you would spend money to send camera men to BFE to take "action shots" only to have Simon tell them to go bugger themselves with a rusty gutter spike. | |
| Trukindog | Yeah end it, it's a complete waste of air time. I'd rather watch reruns of The A-Team than this crap...what?...this isn't the petition to have the whole show wiped out? | |
| dizzblnd | Unless you were born with your head up your ass, your foot in your mouth and amissing brain and were able to overcome THAT.. stop your whining already! | |
| Carol Thompson | These sob stories make me crazy -- and I feel so bad for the people who get 5 minutes on air and then SUCK. | |
| Jennifer Adams | Agreed. Please give the sob stories their own show or something. Maybe call it Boo Hoo. | |
| Sue O'Neill | Who cares if they have a hangnail and have had it for ten years... CAN THEY SING?! |
