Anyone excited for this to start next month? I have to say that I'm neither here not there this year.

I'm totally excited about it! It's one of my all-time favorite shows. I love to sing and I am a reality tv junkie. I don't know why, but it's my favorite kind of tv show.

Wow is it only 1 month away? YAY! I miss it when it's off.

I confess I am an American Idol Junkie. I vote every season and am passionate about the results. I encourage all of my coworkers and family to vote. I have noticed the decline of interest over each season but I keep staying glued to my TV every week and love every minute of it!!!

I can't believe that show is still on lol.

It is only a few weeks away now...

I hate to admit I am addicted. I love to sing and have always talked myself out of auditioning myself because it's all a popularity gig anyway and the AI people only put though those who are going to make their "ratings" better, not actually the people who sing the best.

Anyway, I hate when the seasons begin with the auditions and people acting like idiots just so they can get a shot on TV. Once they actually get to Hollywood is when I get really interested and I am hooked until the end.

I have always wanted to audition too! I agree, it is a popularity contest. Maybe when I get to goal I'll have the guts to audition......probably not, but hey, a girl can dream.

I hate the beginning part of it too. I don't watch it until they have selected the final 12 ( I think it's 12 when it really gets started?)

Then I really love it!

AI is starting next week...

i heard an interview with someone (Simon maybe??) and he said that there are less 'characters' like Sangya and some more rockers ...

should be interesting...

Oh, don't get me started on Sanjaya. I hope there are more rockers. I loved Daughtry and I think they need more like him and less Sanjaya.

2 hours tonight!

OMG ... it's on tonight? so is biggest loser ... oh dear!

My daughters got me into AI during the second season and now I watch it all the time, while they hardly have time to watch. I just can't wait until we get through the hours of lousy auditions before we get into the real competition.

TONIGHT!??!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!! I'll have to DVR Biggest Loser in the another room tonight.... Dang networks!
