I used to love American Idol and even enjoyed the at home performances this season. What I don't like is that if you live in another time zone other that the east coast, the finale sucks. The winner was announced and was all over Facebook before it even aired in Los Angeles. That means we could not vote as voting closed before it even aired for us AND the anticipation of finding out who the winner is is taken away. What a let down! American Idol needs to make some changes to leave the voting open until at least an hour after the show has aired on BOTH COASTS.
