Well if you are my friend or blog reader, you should well know that I have been in a love affair with American Idol since 2002, when Kelly Clarkson, the first Idol EVER, was introduced into my life!
Tonight is the exciting premiere of the brand new 10th season of American Idol!
Now, I won’t lie, last season was NOT the most exciting season of Idol. In fact, it was probably the least exciting season. However, no one can look past the superstars Idol has made in the past.
I used to keep an Idol blog; however, it simply got so boring I could not keep up. This season I will not keep a blog. I will still do my Idol spiral (ALWAYS) and probably post some blogs throughout the season on my thoughts.
I am mostly really excited to see what the changes are like in this season. Obviously, the new judges will bring an entire new feeling to the table. I am truly hoping someone with so much charisma and an incredible voice comes from this season that reignites the fire that is American Idol. The nation’s number one show can still make a comeback, I just am hoping it happens this season!

The original panel

Adding Kara Dioguardi

The panel minus Paula plus Ellen Degeneres (for one season!). Her stint was brief, and she was definitely funny, but she didn’t exactly add much to the show in terms of musical insight.

And then they went back down to three. With two new judges. Simon made his exit, Kara got out of her contract somehow, and Ellen decided she couldn’t be mean to people.
What will J-Lo bring to the table? Years of experience and an understanding of working the media spotlight. And Steven Tyler is a rock legend, so I hope he is really hard on performance and such.
I think Idol will go one of two ways this season: tank or bank. I’m hoping for bank.
