Connick clearly prefers a more hands-on approach (based on his AI appearances last week) - not to mention that he cares about HOW songs are performed, not just how many notes a performer can cram into a run, so if he WERE to attach himself to any of these shows, I'd think he'd go to *Voice * before *Idol* (barring a massive format change for AI). That said, I doubt he'd be able to work either into his schedule, especially with an album to support. AI has some serious issues to address, but the biggest issue in my eyes is that no one has successfully replaced Simon Cowell as the 'Harsh Voice of Reason'. One of the guilty pleasures of the early seasons of Idol was knowing that Simon would tell a performer exactly what he (and, in many cases, the home viewer) was thinking - none of the current judges are willing to go out on that limb. Contrast that the *The Voice*, where the coaches aren't afraid to let their performers know if they're disappointed in how a song turned out.

I caught a few of the performances last night. Maybe there's something wrong with my hearing, but Candice's last performance was full of flaws. And yet to listen to all 4 judges - you - or the audience - would believe that it was the highlight not only of the season, but the entire series. I heard better judging at NOVA Idol a couple of months ago. (That's Northern Virginia Community College.) -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
