Downhill Slide?

maybe it's me, but the performances on "american idol" seem to be getting worse each week--there's no energy, no passion, no singing from the heart. i don't know if they are all zonked, but it's not a good sign when i'm finding reruns of "miami vice" more compelling. then again, "vice" is a classic show, one for the ages. how the adorable one does not see this is beyond me.
