American Idol Season 9 Thread

Count me in again. I love sharing AI with all of you.

I've been watching some of Season 8 on Reality TV channel. It is so fun to see what the judges say about Adam and Kris. Kris sure flew under the radar for a long time last season.
 
:thumbsup2 I'm ready! :drinking1popcorn::


But, we are missing the poll. Maybe the first one could be who is happy to see Paula gone from the judges table. :laughing:
 
I agree! Actually, I don't like Randy either :lmao:
Me too! I really like Simon, and I'm sure I'm going to love Ellen. I wish they would bring back former contestants to judge. I'd love to see David Cook - I mean, hear his opinion... ;)
 

Hey all! I'm so excited for American Idol to start. I'm getting married in 10 days and then off to my honeymoon for 2 weeks so I'll probably be missing out the first couple weeks. But that's ok because it's for good reason.

Anyways, I'll definitely miss Paula even though she annoyed the crap out of me. But I'm definitely excited to see how Ellen will do. My mom (who vowed she can't watch again because she's still mad over last season) said she might actually try to watch just because of Ellen.
 
Here we are again - another year older.

I know few people agree with me, but I can't wait to see Ellen as a judge. People talk about her lack of musical experience, but look at us.... if we can sit here and critique each show as eloquently as we do (and we DO), then nothing wrong with Ellen sitting in.

Can't wait!

I'm looking forward to Ellen too. But that may be because I really like Ellen. ;)

Eh we got 4 weeks of audtions, then two weeks of Hollywood.
 
I think that Randy isn't really not technical enough. Randy always says things to the contestants like "That was HAWT!" when he should say "your breath control was good so you were able to sustain your notes plus you clearly understand the lyrics, a great performance!" or he always spouts stock phrases like "that was kinda pitchy" when he should say "you ran out of breath so you weren't able to sustain some of the notes"...he's so inarticulate, he's opaque. He doesn't seem to know actually WHY a song works or it doesn't and seems incapable of helping the contestants improve, he just says the same things over and over again.

I think Kara's kind of mad that she's never had the public attention as a performer that the AI contestants get. She seems to come *at* the contestants, *especially* the girls.
And she calls the girls "sweetie" when she wants to talk down to them.

Simon's the only previous judge that has an opinion AND is able to articulate it clearly to the contestants, people think that he's harsh but he actually gives the contestants criticism that they can use to improve.

agnes!

Me too ;) David Cook is so talented!

I agree that hopefully Ellen brings some public opinion into it instead of the musical techno garbage. I think sometimes the judges lose sight of it doesn't matter how good a singer they are, if people don't like their music they won't be successful!

I totally agree! Randy has the same 2 or 3 stock comments that he uses over and over again without ever offering any REAL constructive criticism.

I am looking forward to Ellen, but I hope the rumors of this being Simon's last season aren't true. It wouldn't be the same without him.
 
Randy is far from being technical with today's music, now I'm giving Kara the benefit of the doubt. She does know her music and what she is talking about sometimes. Simon tells it like it is.

Its been confirmed I thought it was Simon's last season because we're getting X-factor?

What's the difference between X-Factor and Idol?

I tell you what though...Disney is gonna be mighty peeved off if Idol gets canned after this season after they spent all that money on the American Idol Experience! :rotfl:

There's not a big difference but I'm gathering by reading wikipedia.

Oh no kidding, it shall be interesting. I don't think Idol will do as well without Simon. There's rumors going around Paula will go to x-factor.
 
i can't wait until tuesday !!!

i have been watching AI since the very first season.........

I missed most of the first season, but I remember watching the finale with my son standing in his crib captivated by Kelly. I've seen every season since, and my son is 10. :goodvibes
 
Noop dog! Wondered what he's been up to.

Him, Danny, and Matt all have been in Nashville writing. Anoop is writing with a local Nashvillian named Josh Hoge. he's worked with Chris Richardson and Blake Lewis.
