I am really looking forward to the tour this year. I just bought my tickets to the show at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA on July 7, 2009. This is the first year that I've ever bought tickets to the show, although I've considered it 2 or 3 other years. This year there are so many good, entertaining performers that I couldn't resist buying tickets. My personal favorites are Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, and Megan Joy, and close behind them are Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, and Alexis Grace if they do the right thing and add her back to the tour. They really should because their very flawed voting system this year had a distinct Anti-Female bias to it because it rewards the IDOLS of the fastest, most tireless, obsessed speed-dialers in America, who largely consist of very young females (Tweens & Teens) who vote for their favorite Boy. It's something that they need to correct by limiting the number of votes per phone to somewhere between 1 and 20 per week. That would level the playing field.

If they don't do that, this will only get worse until they start losing the rest of their demographics and only young girls are watching anymore. That will be the Death of Idol. It may have already started, but it's not too late to save the show. As "American Idol" the show MUST be inherently fair to all contestants or it won't continue to capture the interest and imagination of the viewing public. Right now the tour only has 3 female singers along with 7 guys. I don't believe that the tour has ever had less than 5 females - they may have had 4 one year. This tour would really benefit from adding Alexis Grace to it. It would be a livelier, more fun, and SEXIER show, especially for the guys, but I think for everyone. Everyone knows Alexis can sing. A lot of people picked her to be in the finals with Adam and Danny before the cuts. Anyway, please sound off here and let us know where you will be seeing the tour!
