And it begins...

Tonight was the season opener of American Idol 2008...and Ryan and I watched it. I can't say we were glued to the TV, but we watched. Honestly, (and I know a lot of people disagree with me on this), but these next few weeks are the boring parts. It starts getting really good when they move on over to the Kodak Theater. Before that, it's hard for me to get TOO into it.

Honestly, I think 2 hours of air time is more than enough for the "selection" shows. Who wants to see some fat guy dressed up in a "Princess Lea Dancing for Jabba the Hut" outfit? I mean, really! I had to turn away from the TV I was so grossed out by that. And, how many people in the world hate Simon? That's not news anymore. Give the airtime to someone who has a real story instead of a foul mouth and an attitude. That's not entertainment--it's ignorance combined with an overdose of self-confidence. There were certainly some promising performers on the show tonight, among all the "usuals", so I'm interested to see what this season brings.

Oh man, I have to be one of those people who disagrees, I LOVE the audition shows. I usually don't watch much after that. I LOVED the "go down Moses" guy, he was definitely my favorite!
