American Idol 2008

The producers seem to be focussing on the lighter side of the judges and turning to warm and fuzzy instead of mean and nasty. the judges look like absolute pussy cats.

Unfortunately, they didn't fill in Ryan Seacrest. His comments come off as snarky and juvenile (more so than usual).

I do like that we are getting a larger dose of the good auditions than we have seen in the past few seasons. It creates a scenario where we can get to know the competitors sooner.

A Page That Aches

Even though I don't post very often I come here often to read what ever is here. Jon, I enjoy reading your thoughts and love your sense of humor. I suppose that it helps that you and I are on the same side of the political spectrum.

So I do hope that you keep this site going and I will try to post my thoughts more often instead of just reading what others post.

When Do I get to post? You let Reuben post.

American Idol goes back to basics-

Last night's episode was very good for two reasons. First, it was only an hour long, a person can only take so much.

Second, The focus was more on the contestants that made it through- it was lss mean and more about singing. If I recall correctly, this was more the way things were during the first two seasons. Simon is preferable in small doses but in the past few years the negatives had taken over the early episodes.

it is my opinion that this more positive focus provides a venue for us to start caring about the contestants sooner.

Season Seven of Idol

Tuesday Night started out with all the gut wrenching emotion and crass attitude that we have come to expect. I frankly could only take an hour of this. The show always gets more interesting once they narrow down to the final 24. I will give periodic commentary and then more regular once they select a final 24.
