Also, after six season's of idol, can't they get more than one Idol to come back and sing? I get the star power brings in added viewers (after seeing the ratings, we know it didn't work) but having Miley Cyrus sing twice when you could have had Kelly, Fantasia, Ruben, Clay, Taylor, etc. sing just once would have been better... how about some Idol duets or group numbers with former idols? They all toured together and alot are professionals now so it wouldn't have taken much to put a couple of them together to sing. I love the big star and idol duets on the series final so why not more of that? There should also be more charity appropriate songs.... Kelly last year was fantastic, Annie Lenox both years has killed it.... nothing against some of the stuff we saw but Mariah is pushing a new cd, not a charity. Also more footage of idols going places and show them every Wed night on the results show. Remind everyone week in and week out what you are doing so you don't have to go 3 hours to get your point across. Plus it doesn't help that you recorded the show on Monday and still couldn't get it in on time and had to cut things, move it to Thurs etc. For me, last years IGB was much better… the venue was more intimate and Ellen was a much better host than Ryan for it.
