American Idol!!! It'll be here January 15th! I can't wait! I'm obsessed with Idol, although I have not been following The Next Great American Band...so maybe I'm not a fanatic Lythgoe lover, but Idol, I love. Nigel Lythgoe, the shows creator, says that there will be a lot of changes for Season 7. Less celebs, and more focus on the contestants. Nigel admitted that they got carried away with the mentors and said, "We will spend more time talking to the kids about their lives, what they want from this competition."
I think they should focus on getting better contestants. Of course, Jordin was amazing, and Blake was good too, but the pool they picked from Season 6 was not strong as the previous years before. And, I was at the season finale, and it was no where near as good as the previous year's finale. So, it's time they stepped up the competition.

Awesome news about my favorite reality train wreck! The competition should be about the contestants (and I agree with you about the talent pool last season -- Antonella, anyone?)
The weekly crap-mentor thing was getting on my nerves. No one wanted to be there -- they just wanted to sell whatever new project was on the line. In the case of Diana Ross, the appearance was pitifully cringe worthy. As opposed to the fun kind of cringe worthy.
You go Nigel! And find some more good dancers for the other show, too. I like that one. American Band, not so much. What is it tha makes AB so lame?

I know. I can't even watch AB. I did an interview w/ Shelia E. and haven't even posted it yet b/c I can't stand AB. To be totally honest, I don't even know if AB is over or not, and I'm a TV junkie. Shows how much they promo'd the show, and how much I like it. Opps...But American Idol on the other hand, I'M OBSESSED!!!!
