I'm not sure how I feel about J-Lo and Steven Tyler together, lol. It seems like an odd choice to have both of them on together. But like Steven said, hopefully it will bring more rock music into the fold.

I haven't watched Idol in awhile.. but this decision might just bring me back for this season. Will be weird to watch without Simon though.

I don't know...I liked Simon! I'm really glad Kara is gone though!!! We'll have to see how it goes I guess. I'd like to see more rock music brought in. And really, can we please go without a Beatles week this season??

Yes, puh-leeze, let's go without a Beatles week! I can't believe they can't do something different.

I will miss Simon, and Kara, I liked her. It's weird that they've got JLo and Steve Tyler because they will both play the same basic role, that of Paula. The original panel covered various aspects of the music industry -
Randy - the producer Paula - the artist/ crazy lady Simon - the promoter/marketer
And then came Kara - the songwriter
Between them, they were able to give the audience a pretty good vibe on which artists had potential.
But now we have Randy the producer, JLo the artist and Steve Tyler the artist. None of them really have any idea about marketing, which makes me worried (or perhaps looking forward to) a season of less polished artists.

I enjoyed it too. The show just seemed more fun to me for some reason...Simon was awesome but he could be kind of a downer at times.

I didn't watch much of last night's premiere but I did see the New Orleans show tonight. I thought a lot of the performers (esp. the 15 yr old boy) did really well.

i think the show is doing pretty good. seems like they need more rejects haha, because they are putting a lot of people through to hollywood. there seems to be a lot of talent so far.
the girl that sang with steven tyler at the end of the last night's show was awesome.
and i loved the girl that sang 'american honey.'
there's a lot of good singers so far, this season!

I like the new judges too, Ronnie. I'm surprised how much I like them, actually. My only issue with the show is that they are spending waaaaaay too much time with telling the contestant back stories. They're using 6 mins out of 42 mins with one audition - snoozefest!

I'm enjoying this as well. Although...I do think they should consider uping Steven Tyler's meds!

Nothing makes me cringe more on the show than when they start singing after being told no Posts: 4056 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Triumph of the spirit Helen, just like the time you got the Omega Hedron and saved Argo City.
I think you relate to them. You'd be there singing your heart out and wouldn't take no for an answer:
"Every now and then I fall apaaaaaaaart..." "No." "AND I NEED YOU NOW TONIGHT!" "NO!" "AND I NEED YOU MORE THAN EVAAAAA!" "NO! NO! NO!"Posts: 3383 | From: England | Registered: May 2003 | Site Updates: 21

Wow, kevdug, I wanna know what kind of meds he's taking! He is so "up there" from what I've seen of the show so far, he cracks me up. I guess once he got off of drugs and alcohol, they gave him some really good goofball pills.

i'm still watching the show, and as much as i like lopez and tyler, they are a bit too overly positive. it's great that they give encouragement and all, but i would like to hear more constructive criticism. they tend to kiss a little too much butt!
but the guys are way better than the girls.. as usual..(right petty?) ha
idol hasn't had a female winner in 3 seasons. remember jordin sparks?
who's still watching?
