And… we’re back! American Idol begins again.

I finally got around to watching the first 2 episodes of American Idol – and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was certainly not looking forward to some of the changes and have heard negative comments about Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. I actually liked that it was hard for Jennifer to say no – showing she is not all caught up in herself but has a heart and is compassionate towards those who want to live their dreams but don’t fit with American Idol. I was also surprised that I liked (mostly) what Steven Tyler had to say. I loved that he got into the music – adding his tapping and at times joining in – it seemed to lighten the mood and relax those auditioning. Now, there wasn’t much banter or commenting – so I’ll be interested to hear what the judges say during Hollywood week – as that is where their opinions will likely be more apparent.
What did you think?
Did J-Lo surprise you – in a good way? Did you find the chemistry between the judges good? Or do you think that American Idol will fail without Simon Cowell? Are you going to keep watching and see how it goes? Or are you converting over to Paula Abdul‘s new “Live to Dance” show? (I watched the first couple of episodes and it’s just not very good – I’m not sure why they selected some of the acts, and the quality isn’t great – I wanted to like it, but really didn’t.) Oh well – that’s good – so now I can continue on with American Idol this season.)

I was pleasantly surprised. I really like J. Lo. I thought she was so sweet and I felt very bad for her as she struggled to say no. I even, mostly, liked Steven Tyler. I could do without the many bleeps from him, but I liked that he really felt the music and enjoyed the good auditions. I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

I think it was the right call. At this point we are starting to see the real good, great and outstanding. He didnt cut it. Not to say he cant do something he just was in a class of people who could out do him. America did a great job in voting.
