Who is going to watch American Idol?

Post by JollyMon66 »

OK...confession time....yes I watch Idol...it's one of the few reality shows I tune into. I do think the show will suffer with Simon Cowell gone. Love him or hate his attitude I think is was usually right.

Who is watching and who would rather have a root canal?

Normally I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia.

I may watch tonight just to see Steven Tyler. :wench: [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Watching. :D Have for the last few years. I'm recording mine, so I might not watch it every night, the same night.

Sorry, not a big fan. Especially during the try-outs when so many people totally stink. There are only so many William Hung-type stuff I can listen to.

I haven't had a TV for almost 3 years but even when I did have one I never watched this. If I wanted to see a karaoke contest I'd find a local bar that had one.

I think the try outs are the best part. Driving home I was listening to the radio and the dj made the comment "Thanks to the miracle of plastic surgery, Steven Tyler now looks like Mary Tyler Moore" :lol:

I've never been one to watch it all, just bits and pieces but I watched for a few minutes and what I saw from Steven Tyler and Jenifer Lopez was good.

& I swear......Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger and Don Knotts must somehow all be related to each other.

This is the first time I actually watched the entire beginning and thought it was MUCH better than years past. And Yes, I am watching because of 64yr old Steven. :D

Put on your beer goggles and maybe he'll start looking better.

I'm not a fan of Tyler but thought he added a ton to the show. J-lo was not so entertaining for me. They let through a lot that never would have made it in the past. I usually quit watching after the train wreck episodes. I did think it was better that they didn't show as many circus acts. I will admit it was a lot better than I expected but my expectations were very low.

I have to say it has been a most enjoyable show. Steven Tyler had me laughing several times. There were some pretty moving performances as well. I need a tissue after that.

Never watched "Idol".......... :o

But I will be watching Speed TV's live coverage of the Barrett-Jackson auto auction from Scottsdale, AZ all week! Yes, in addition to being a Parrothead, I am also a Gearhead......just love cars. [smilie=coolup.gif]
