Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I wasn't sure how this season would go with no Simon and new judges, but I've got to say that I enjoyed the first couple of episodes. I like that they aren't showing as many bad auditions. Either the bad people don't know they are bad and that's just kind of sad, or they are just attention whores who want to be on TV by any means necessary, which is also kind of sad. I can do without the sob stories but as long as they can sing, I will put up with them. I wasn't sure how Steven and Jennifer were going to do but I was pleasantly surprised. They actually seemed to want to be there for the right reasons, as opposed to judges from the past. Jennifer wasn't as much of a bitch as I thought she'd be. Honestly, I don't know why I thought she would be a bitch. She's got a bit of a diva reputation so that must have clouded my perception of her. She could be a little tougher on those who don't have a chance but I think she'll settle into it. Steven is a crazy old loon but he seems to have a vague idea what he is talking about. I love that he is so into the process that he looks like he wants to jump up and start singing along with the people. In short: So far, so good. *Gentle Words from Mama Peaches* I understand that American Idol and shows of that nature are a polarizing topic. People generally love them or hate them. This particular thread is a safe haven for discussions amongst those who enjoy the show. So if you don't like American Idol or the premise of the show, this thread might not be the place for you. Shoo! Scat! Get out! Thank you and have a pleasant day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I switched on AI just because there's nothing else on, and like a lot of people, probably, I was curious about the new peeps. I truly like Jennifer. Surprise of the decade. I did not think I would like her at all. In her first two days, she's far and away better than Paula ever was the entire time she was there. It'll be interesting to see how she settles into the groove when it comes time to make the tough cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I was pretty sure I was gonna like J Lo for this show...I wasn't sure about Steven, but I think he fits in pretty well...if he can control himself with flirtin with the pretty gals..LOL...I thought at first they let waaaaaaay too many through that really shouldn't have...but I guess those ones probably won't go any further if they truly are that bad...all in all I'm enjoying the show so far... OH and THANK YOU PEACHY! for starting this thread..I just haven't gotten around to it..but I knew I would have good back up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I like American Idol, I just didn't know it was still on. I dont have time to ever watch TV and I have a meeting to attend on it's night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Oooooh...I thought you were making a snarky comment. I usually have to defend my Idol love so I'm ultra sensitive about it. Yes, it's back on. It just started back this week. I believe it will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Smooches! Who loves ya, baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Completely agreed .... I was prepared to hate the show, and found I enjoyed it. If they can keep up the same vibe and energy throughout the season it ought to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I watched bits and pieces. I thought it was good, and Steven Tyler makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I loved the show. And then they did Beatles week... And if that wasn't bad enough, then they did Rolling Stones week... Suffice to say, I watch it sparingly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Steven Tyler, you used to be one of my heroes, Aerosmith was the first rock concert I ever went to. Why? WHY?!?!? And yes Peaches, I read your warning, I just chose to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyRaccoon Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Would anyone care to explain to me how this thread died? I've been casually watching this season and the other night was INTENSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've been watching all year .... there is really some good talent, and I've got my favorites. It was terribly intense this week, and good performances. I don't know if Casey was the one to use the save on, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjudge Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 When they first announced Casey as the lowest vote getter, I too doubted that they would use the save, as did Casey himself. But Ryan's explanation about the rules explains why they used the save on Casey. By using the save this week, instead of going to 10, they were allowed to take all 11 remaining contestants, including Casey, on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I think Casey is one of, if not the most talented guy there. I think there's some phenomenal talent on this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I think it was a good call using the save on Casey....I'm thinking it might be a guy that wins it this year...The girls are okay, but I think the guys this year are pretty darn good.
