Idol Thoughts ... they're baaaaack

Here we go again. Booyah. I'm giddy--in an extremely manly sorta way of course. Felt like coming home to a warm blanket watching the Season 9 premiere last night.

I thought I'd take an "I'm bored" break from work and start off the season with a chat about the judges.

First, Simon leaving. I hate it, but I don't hate him for it. Idol can't last forever and a true champ leaves on top. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to watch it next year when he's gone though. I'm leaning toward no. He's my AI northern star and the last remaining sense of normalcy in the pop-aspiring world. Not sure if I can stomach it without him.

Second, here come's Ellen. I'm just not sure. She's great. Hilarious. Looks like a scene from Seinfeld when she dances, but let's hope that keeps to a minimum anyway. But what expertise does she have as a musical judge? Further proof that the show is less about musical talent and more about popularity and ratings. Could be a sinking ship. Explains why Simon's ditching I guess.

Last, who knew Victoria Beckham was so nice? Mad props to her, and her hubby for marrying her.

Feels good to be back.

I am coming in last on the Idol train. With so many other things on TV and lack of DVR or Tivo, I must choose what I do and do not watch and CSI with hottie-hottie Mark Harmon just always seems to win out. I know, I know he's old enough to be my dad. . . I digress.

I caught about 15 min last night of the auditions in Atlanta with Mary J as the judge and turned it off in favor of doing my exercise DVD. I just couldn't get into it. Maybe when they get to Hollywood I'll be better!

Rock on AI, Rock on!
