Watching Idol

Well, first - who knew there was an American Idol Wii game?  I sure didn't and this just goes to prove that you can learn something every day!

But as I am sitting here watching this new season of American Idol, I am really enjoying it.  I have to admit that I topped watching thae last few years for many reasons:

1) Didn't like Simon.
2) Hated the new judge Kara
3) Thought the talent pool was really bad
4) Didn't like Simon
5) Felt that the audience voting was more about popularity than talent.

Oh, and did I mention I didn't like Simon?

But this year, with the addition of J-Lo and Steven Tyler, the show has new life.  It's a more positive feeling - even the critisim is a bit milder.  I like how Steven Tyler sings along sometimes.  It seems to me that the show has almost been remade - all because of the two new judges.

So for the first time in many years, I am watching with a lot of interest and today, especially, it is nice to see how they are handling the final cuts.  It refreshing to hear the advice they are offering - you end up hoping that the people cut listen!

So, I will continue to watch this year and hope that some of the people I have come to enjoy listening to move forward.  I don't vote, but I certainly am enjoying the new season of American Idol.
