Some of them slammed the panel of judges. Others are still thinking about the previous season, which came with its own share of controversial decisions and choices. The Season 20 finale received a mixed reaction among the fanbase. Country singer Noah Thompson from Kentucky won that season.

HunterGirl, whose real name is Hunter Wolkonowski, came in second place. Most of the criticism was geared towards the singers, most of which were country music and acoustic performers. Fans want someone else to win the show for a change. Many are disappointed that their faves were voted off early in the season.

However, American Idol fans aren’t excited about Season 21. They took to that tweet to share their thoughts. Here is just some of the reaction to the biggest celebration ever:

• “I would watch but I can’t tolerate any of the judges.”
• “I won’t be watching any longer. I’m sick and tired of celebrities doing politics. Katy and Luke should take a great notes from the great Dolly Parton. She stays loyal to all her fans. That’s why we love DP.“
• “I don’t have time. I have to watch my paint dry.”
• “I pretty much gave up on American Idol when you can tell who the producers are going to push to the end within the first few days of auditions! Last year was a huge disappointment!”

• “Please go off the air.”
