American Idol 2010

Although I don't plan on watching as actively as I once did due to changes, I"ll probably still keep up with it....I hope!

Also, the latest news on Cowell's departure is that if he's able to get his X Factor up and running next year, FOX is in negotiations to televise it along with Idol. That should be interesting. Also, rumor has it that Simon might want to hire Paula as one of the judges. If that's the case, then she will end up better off than if she'd given in to a contract with Idol. My guess is that Simon would pay her more than Idol was offering.

Found this article on the coming American Idol season that says the bigger question than if Ellen will fit in is how will they replace Adam Lambert? While it admits how Ellen fits in to the group will be important, that it was Adam Lambert that really saved last year because he was such a controversial and people watched to see what he did next. And to some degree, I can see the show needing that again this coming year.

The article mentions one thing I find very good news at the end, that they are returning to the normal Top 24 format, rather than using the Top 36 they used last year.

Well I think what Idol has always successfully done is bring compelling contestants to America's attention. I think the years its been boring is when they haven't had good back stories for the contestants. America needs someone to root for, without that, the show isn't fun. So I think more than just a singing competition, they really need to cast the program in order to keep ratings up.

Honestly, I think that when Simon leaves, the show will die. It's not just about the conestants, but also the judges and Simon is such a huge part of the show. I know I'm not going to enjoy it as much.

Wow... I thought I'd seen it all. But tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Neil Young covered "Pants on the ground". For those that missed it, the original "Pants on the Ground" as shown on Idol last night.

oh and i already have a fav the guy from sandy utah..oh wow he reminded me of michael w smith. the one that had cancer..what was his name???

 

[snoochface]

Subbing! And I loved Pants on the Ground

Given the guy that came up with the song, I think it's a commentary on young guys and gangs that wear their pants half-off their butts, IMO.

Following Snooch and subbing too. I love this guy. I just played it again to have a chuckle. He's wonderful.

I really enjoyed Shania as a judge.

Hi, ladies.

Subbing to this thread. Looking forward to the coming weeks of AI. I already have a few favorites. Right now my favorite is Tyler Grady (fall out of tree boy). I think he has the overall package: nice, cute, and most importantly has a good voice. It will interesting to see his progression in the competition.

For the girls, I have a soft spot in my heart for Vanessa Wolfe (jump off of bridges girl). I hope she goes far as well.

Oh and "Pants On The Ground" rocks!

p.s. yes, LovestoBless, I also enjoyed Shania Twain as the guest judge and thought she was the best thus far. She was kind to the people who auditioned and gave constructive advice.

 

[LovesToBless]

btw...anyone else think that Mr. Pants on the Ground will have a ticket to the finale?

 

[LovesToBless]

Last night was alright. Some decent talent.

The guy going out in cuffs really didn't need to be featured so much. Sometimes Idol (and any of these shows) is really pushing their luck letting some of these folks through in the first place.

Something funny I saw on Jimmy Kimmel. It is Neil Young. LOL

AI is washed up. Not watching it this year-hate the whole format and have grown tired of the whole show

 

[SparkyMaddie]

It's not! lol I wish Posh would stay though as a judge and I see alot of talent in the 16 yr olds this season.
