OK, There are some improvements in the new show format. Allowing unlimited teams in the "Blinds" allows judges to maybe get someone much better later on instead of sending quality performers home because their teams are "full". The Knockouts are HORRIBLE. The judges should have to wait until all five on their teams perform. Again, maybe the last two ARE the best, but if they send the first one through then there is only one spot left. If they send the first two through (didn't happen this season) then all the other three wouldn't even get the opportunity to perform and fight for a place in the semi-finals. ALSO - for the entire season - ONLY solo performers (as opposed to duos or 6 person groups) should be allowed. ONE, a group like G-Nation can have their best high singer sing the high parts and their best low singer sing the low parts. A solo performer CAN NOT compete fairly with that. TWO, the members of the 6 person group MAY not have the vocal ability to either be in the competition or even sin against the other contestants on their own, but as a group they can hide their weaknesses. It is not fair to solo performers to allow groups. They do not have the same skill sets.
