American Idol 2008 [SPOILERS Posted After Friday's Show]
« on: January 15, 2008, 05:45:12 PM »
Since it will be starting tonight in the US, I figured we better get the topic started.  (By the way, it starts here on Thursday ITV1 at 8PM)

I can't wait, AI is my favourite show in this Genre ;).  I'm really hoping for some good contestants this year.  Thinking back a couple of years to Bo Bice, (He was ROBBED!)  I'm hoping for a few more singers like him.

Are people watching this year? (Please be nice if you are not, a lot of us like this show)

I talked to Mom about this on Sunday. The word she's hearing over there is that this is supposed to be the BEST batch of contestants ever!

I can't wait!
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I'm ready for AI to begin.  The contestants can play instruments during auditions this year.  Simon will regret ever agreeing to this;-)

Hee... I thought that was a portrait of Paula.  She's crazy bananas!

The main thing I've heard about this year is that they're scaling waaaay back on the 'mentors' and the pushing of said mentors' albums.  The focus is going back to the contestants, which makes me very happy.

Forty minutes to go!!!  SQUEEEEEEEE!

Some crazies so far, some really good singers as well. There are a couple that we won't forget!

DB thought that a large segment on a person before they sang meant they were a good singer. I let him watch the girl and he was very confused (I'll let you know which after you all in the UK watch it). I then brought up William Hung on You Tube!  ;D He doesn't understand how dramatic it is.

There's one part (this doesn't give anything away so I'll say it) where Simon is saying he doesn't understand how people get so excited for other people, that he would think it's nice for them, but he doesn't understand the jumping and screaming and crying for others. DB said he is the same and doesn't understand. He said he doesn't know anyone who would get like that for their family and friends.

Oh my.  Let's just say this:  I'll never be able to watch Return of the Jedi again.

Nobody's given anything away yet, but just to get this down on the record: Can we stick to the UK schedule of AI please? So no spoilers by you Yanks!  :P

Of course!  But I reserve my right to pique your interest with non-spoilery comments. ;)
