Paula and Simon were not missed last night. Snarky was there and compassion was there in upgraded forms. I didn't know I was so tired of Simon.
The fact that the most musically talented judge is not Simon is a great reason! Steven Tyler is going to be fun to watch on American Idol...he's crazy!
JLo is as nice as Paula probably was the first season of American Idol. It isn't an easy gig. Jennifer adds more than Paula did because she sounds intelligent.
These first few weeks are not the weeks we love the contestants, but hang in there. You will soon start hearing them actually sing well, with music and you can begin to root for your favorites.
It's all about the music on American Idol, despite what they say about image being so important. I give you two words. 1)Susan 2)Boyle. The image will follow.
A weak link for me. I like him on the first few shows. Here he shines, rooting on the contestants and talking with the families. The rest of the show his inane remarks after the judges speak are just embarrassing.
American Idol is going to have a great season if this first week is anything to go by. JLo and Steven Tyler are perfect as judges and we have Randy for nostalgia! Paula and Simon, you have been replaced. Snarky? Yes.
I always say I won't watch American Idol the next year but, shoot, I'm always lying. Good reason to watch again this year.
I never miss a show of American Idol. Last year really was a bit boring. I was nervous about this year's changes but we will see. Nice list of 5s.
I s stopped watching it for a couple of years but saw the tail-end tonight of the beautiful girl with her sweet little daughter and it moved me to tears. She can blow!... and Tyler and JLO were pretty cool. I might be back. :)
Like the other commenters, I've never cared much for American Idol, but many of my friends do. Good list.
I've never actually watched an entire show. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Maybe I will give American Idol another try. You have given me courage. Great info!
Last season bored me to tears. I never care much for the audition shows, so I dvr to fast forward through parts of them. Your list made me think I am missing something, so I'm going to watch last night's episode.
