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.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    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!!!!
