American Idol 2011

So did anyone watch? What did you think?

I thought it was very interesting how the judging dynamic has changed ...

I've watched part of it on the DVR (and will probably finish in a little while since the kids are napping). So far, I like what I've seen. The dynamic is totally different, but that's not a bad thing. I think a new dynamic makes the change of personnel work better. Steven Tyler was funny. As for individual contestants, there were some good ones, but I have no idea as to an early favorite.

I was concerned about Steven Tyler. I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle seeing his (not very attractive) face for two hours. But he is actually VERY funny!! I enjoyed it.
And Jennifer Lopez cracked me up. She just couldn't say no. However, I only watched the first day of auditions. I'm going to finish it right now. So maybe she'll get the hang of it.

I'm still trying to decide the wisdom of including 15 year olds this season. Granted, there have been a couple of really talented ones so far, but the judges have in the past questioned the maturity of the 16 year olds that were included, so I'm wondering why they decided to go younger.

Me too! It doesn't make sense. They should have just gone older if they wanted to include more people.

So, I guess Jennifer IS getting better at saying no. She did a fine job last night. LOL

I felt the same way. when I heard he was going to be a judge I was like "seriously?"

but I am loving him. he's great. he's funny and really adds something to the judging panel. I like that he gets really into it and starts beating along on the table. and you can tell that that really puts the people auditioning at ease and they kinda loosen up and belt it out.

I'm a fan lol

I find Steven sexy as hell. OMG have you ever watched him perform? MEOW!! He is the Marilyn Monroe of the man world.
He is also smart, funny and kind. Oh baby come to momma.

I find Steven sexy as hell.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one I LOVE his attitude!

I'm loving Jennifer too. The first day she had a hard time saying no, but I think she's learning sometimes you just have to say no.

I'm enjoying it so far. But I must admit...I fast forward a lot. Makes it a lot more enjoyable for me

Ok, I won't say the results just in case anyone hasn't watched it yet. But last night I realized how much I actually do like Haley. I just love her voice!!
I also really like James. And then this morning I heard a new song by a new artist and it sounded a lot like Paul (his name is Andrew Allen). And I decided I really like his unique voice as well.
Oh, and for the record, I still can't stand Jacob's voice.
The girls sure got their stage time last night, didn't they? Poor guys!

I loved Casey and Jack Black! I loved James and Judas Priest. I really enjoyed Steven performance as well. And of course, the top two singing with their idols was awesome too.
