Besides the hilarious auditions and outtakes, the mega-talented contestants and the always-entertaining Ryan Seacrest, one of the my favorite things was always the consistency of the judges. More specifically, the fact that Simon was always there, in the same t-shirt, ready to humiliate anyone he could get his hands on. I'd have to say that much of the success that Idol has seen branched from that man.
For the first few years, I watched for the talent, Paula's clapping, Randy's "dawg" shout outs and Simon's
This brings us to present day, or the last 4-6 weeks that Idol has been on the air for yet another season. I had told B that I wouldn't be watching Idol once Simon was gone, so it came as a
Well, let's just say that this season has far exceeded my sans-Simon expectations! Don't get me wrong, I still love the Brit, but I could not believe how much Steven and Jennifer Lopez really brought to the show. I was never a huge JLo fan, but now? I think she is adorable, and find myself pining after all of her outfits (well, other than the doorag).And, Steven Tyler has skyrocketed himself to the top of my "fave celebs on TV list" with ease. His comments are priceless, he's funny yet tender, and he even pipes in with that one-of-a-kind singing voice of his here and there! You could say that it was a done deal when I saw his reaction to Chris Medina's tryout and fiance'. Just in case you missed it ...
I'm looking forward to a stellar Idol season, and it hasn't disappointed yet!! Who are your faves?

DITTO everything! Haha. I told the hubs I wasn't watching it, but I LOVE Steven Tyler! And JLo (minus the bandana wrap thing) is gorgeous!
I know, right?? I guess the execs at Idol really knew what they were doing when they decided to give it a revamp this season!! Do you have any faves yet?
Steven Tyler is HILARIOUS! He is a great addition to the show!
Agreed! He is my favorite part right now!!
I totally agree! I love Idol and I was really nervous about how this season would be without Simon, but honestly, I like it so much better now! The last few seasons became more about the banter between the judges and the negative comments from Simon. So now it all just feels so much more positive and we're seeing so much more talent than ever before. Perhaps producers changed the format and began showing the good singers early on and less of the bad ones, but overall, this season has been so much more enjoyable for me. And yes, I'm totes foaming at the mouth over JLo's outfits and her makeup always looks puuurfect! Pink eyeshadow never looks like that on me!
And can we just talk about Adam Lambert. *OBSESSED* I saw the Idol summer tour after Adam's season and got his auty about 4 feet away. GORGEOUS! Then I saw him in a random Palm Springs concert and then this summer in San Fran for his first international tour. AMAZING!!!
I have actually never been a fan of Idol UNTIL this season. Partially because I've been in college for six years and BUSY and partially because Paula and Simon drive me batsh*t crazy!!! ;o)
Looking forward to reading your blog! :)
