  1. Normally I would be looking forward to the new shows, I love the auditions and Hollywood weeks, but I have to say, this year…. I don’t care! Fox should have done more to keep Paula and ellen d. Come on, Richard Simmmons would be more entertaining than her. She should never have been asked on the show, she is not a musician, she should not be a judge. With all the musical talent why in the world would they pick her?

  2. Ellen will be great..what difference does it make anyways. If it were up to the judges, or people that know talent,Adam would have won by a literal no contest landslide..it’s obviously the 12 year olds that determine the winner..last year proved that..need I say more?

  3. Since Ellen appears to have snubbed Danny Gokey last season when she had the other top Idols on her show, I am not thrilled she is the new judge. She will have to prove herself worthy to me before I know she is not going to “play favorites” as a judge like she did lat season when she had the contestants on her own show.

  4. all the judges played favorites..or played one favorite, and that was Adam..what good did that do..and…what makes you think it was Ellen’s decision not to have Danny…Perhaps Danny didn’t want to do the show..That would be more like it, obviously…Danny Gokey..please..are you one of the 12 year olds that voted 4,000 times for Kris, because Danny didn’t make it?

  5. actually the judges playing Adam as favorite was clearly for ratings,and doing everything they could to make sure he reached the finals show, because they knew if he didn’t make it, the ratings would have plummeted so bad, there wouldn’t have been an Idol 2010..So good for Adam in the long run that he didn’t win anyways..

  6. I’m not sure that I will ever watch Idol again. I would like to know what idiot decided to get rid of Paula and keep Kara. I can’t stand her and she adds nothing to the show. The song she wrote for the winning idol was terrible. It was even cut from the tour. How could they even consider keeping her after that? I think this is the start of the demise of Idol.

  7. Not looking forward anymore – the hype’s gone. No one likes Kara and I’m not sure what the producers have in mind for keeping her when it’s clear she’s pulling down the ratings. Paula’s great, and Ellen can be a great new intro to the line of judges. It’s a shame – but looks like American Idol has finally seen the end of it’s exciting life.

  8. I am not looking forward to this season at all.
    Number 1, you had the best last season with
    Adam Lambert. No. 2, for me the show will not be the same without Paula. She added so much to the mood of the show. Noone can fill her
    shoes as far as I am concerned. I don’t trust the voting system anymore. In the past, I would
    make it a point to see the show. Not anymore.

  9. I loved AI for a long time but now there has to be a limit to the household votes (one vote per number dialed in) then there will be a better chance for fairness in the program. Sorry to see Paula go (it should have been Kara to go). Ellen should be replacing Kara. But seriously, the votes should be limited to one per number or it is going to be the ruination of the show. These children need to leave room for other age groups to participate in the voting. Until that happens, I will not be voting but I will watch the show because there is some amazing talents which will get reconized even if they don’t win AI.

  10. Don’t think I will watch AI this year. Abdul and Cowell were great together; Kara is a zero and now that the truth is out about Adam, I think the show is a lot of baloney. The depicted Adam as this nice, polite gay guy with all kinds of talent. He does have some talent but it is projected in the wrong direction to be called an American Idol. HIs perfomances after AI prove he is not so nice, not polite, having given his audience the finger at the AMA show, and is definitely a deviant, something America does not need more of.

  11. I totally love American Idol and look forward to it every year! I think Ellen will be a great edition to the judging panel since she will represent really the viewing public. I am not a fan of Kara either and the song she wrote for the finale really was terrible. Its to bad Paula left and I really think she will regret that decision. Hey getting a million dollar paycheck wasn’t so bad I sure would jump at the chance!

  12. I think Ellen will be great. She has never claimed to know anything about music. She said she would be judging like she would be one of us. I think that is a great idea. Because most people that vote have no clue about music anyway so why not Ellen. I love her and think she will do a great job.
    On Danny Gokey, he probably didn’t want to go on Ellen because she is gay. We all know how he felt about Adam.
    There will never be another Adam Lambert but it is still fun to watch AI. I don’t think AI is going any where. I think the rating will still be high. Not as high as with Adam but still very entertaining and isn’t that what we watch it for?
    It was time for Paula to go. She will do fine in whatever she does. I think we needed some new faces.
    There will never be another Adam Lambert but there is still more talent out there to be found. So watch and just enjoy.
    Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year!

  13. I have never missed a show but will no longer watch due to the Ellen factor. I am hearing this from many of my friends that watched the show as well. Bad choice

  14. I love idol but I am not sure how it will work with Kara and Ellen, Will have to see. I am hoping it is not going to be weeks of auditions. I got bored with that last season. I don’t mind a little of that but the endless episodes of it got old. I love the competitions. That’s what really makes the show.

  15. Simon keeps saying, “this is a singing competiton,” but it really is a popularity contest. There needs to be a component added that will eliminate popularity from overshadowing the talent. Re Ellen, I was disappointed to see her selected when so many people in the music business could have been chosen.

  16. I won’t be watching this year now that you have made Ellen a judge. What does she know about music. I am really tired of gays on TV

  17. I stopped watching AI after Season 3 cause it started being the same oh, same oh every year..the same bantor, etc. I may actually start watching it now that Ellen’s one of the judges. I really like Ellen and think she’s funny and upbeat. I believe she’ll add an interesting element to AI that wasn’t there before.

  18. I really wanted Allison or danny to win but I am not going to stop watching because of it, also I am not crazy about having Ellen on the show but again not enough of a reason to stop watching so i my mind those are stupid reasons and if you really liked the show you wouldn’t stop watching, if you do not watch …….oh well who cares, idol will be around for a long time. Ellen will tell it like it is and won’t candy coat it, plus you will put Simon in his place.

  19. My wife and I enjoyed American Idol in the past, but we will no longer watch it. Fox has turned this program into a promotion of the gay agenda. It came through load and clear last yeat with Adam Lambert, and now with Ellen Degenerate.

    So long.

  20. I love american idol but I despise Ellen deguines and will not watch any episodes when she is on there. You may think that the Gay community has gained acceptance with their lifestyle but you are wrong. I pray for Gays but I think it is a sinful way to live. Sorry, but I will miss AD. I also have AD, Alzheimer’s Disease to contend with and I need entertainment, not contnroversy. bill

  21. I have always loved AI and followed every contestant and loved having my own opinion along with your professional judges being a pro-musician all my life..Last year was a ruff year
    for me with Kara..and now adding Ellen is even worst..
    One is a bitch and adding one more who doesn’t know anything about music is too much to handle.
    I have been looking to drop one show this new season to stop watching and AI has made it an easy choice with adding the new judges. Simon knows the writing on the wall so his future is over too and I don’t plain him.

  22. Idol was fun, now it will be over. Ellen are you kidding me. what a joke. I hope Simon lays into that dumb b****.

  23. Of course I know that finding truly great talent is difficult unless the truly great talents actually audition (it seems they don’t); it would be wonderful to see someone win who isn’t merely mediocre as almost all have been thus far. The program caters to a younger audience which aren’t familiar with the high caliber of artists from the past; the older generation is looking to see that standard come back, but I doubt it can happen on American Idol, Susan Boyle notwithstanding, of course!

  24. We had a bitch and now we have one who loves bitches. Not for us, no more, too catty, no talent and kudos for Simon leaving the pajama party!

  25. THIS YEAR WILL STIL BE A GOOD YEAR. THE GOOD THING IS AMERICAN IDOL HELP THE YOUNG TO GET A GOOD LIFE STARTED. WHO EVER HAS REAL TALENT SINGING, THEY WILL BE BE SOMEBODY, IF THEY TRY HARD ENOUGH. AS FAR AS WATCHING THE SHOW, I THINK ELLEN IS REALLY FUNNY. IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO ELLEN REALLY IS, AND YOU ARE JUDGING HER WITHOUT KNOWING HER, THATS NOT FAIR EITHER.
    JUST GIVE HER A CHANCE. ELLEN SAI SHE IS GOING TO BE HONEST AND NOT MEAN WITH THE CONTESTANTS.
    AS FAR AS KARA, I STILL WATCHED THE SHOW ALTHOUGH I AM NOT A FAN OF KARA’S, I REALLY THINK SHE IS BORING, BUT I DON’T WATCH IT BECAUSE OF HER. I BLOCK HER OUT.
    NOW AS FAR AS PAULA GOES, I LIKE PAULA, SHE IS FUNNY AND SERIOUS AT TIMES. PAULA IS SMART, AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS. I REALLY WILL MISS PAULA. I THOUGHT SHE WAS GREAT ON THE SHOW.
    AND FOR SIMON, HE NEEDS TO LEARN NOT TO BE A MEANIE SO MUCH. HE DOES NOT REALIZE HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SO RUDE…just a little.LOL…
    I LIKE SIMON, HE IS A VERY SMART MAN. I THINK HE IS GREAT ON THE SHOW.
    NOW, RANDY…HE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. RANDY IS REALLY COOL, BUT HE NEEDS TO NOT ALWAYS REPEAT HIMSELF..YA ALWAYS KNOW WHAT RANDY IS GOING TO SAY….”i sounded a litle pitchy”…lol.
    ANY WAY, I AM SURE AMERICAN IDOL WILL BE ALRIGHT THIS YEAR.
    SURE GLA RYAN IS STAYIN…I LIKE HIM…HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THAT JOB..AMERICAN IDOL DID REALLY REALLY GOOD ON PICKING RYAN FOR THE HOST.
    THE ONE PERSON THAT NEEDS TO GO WOULD BE KARA.
    SHE IS NOT RIGHT FOR THE SHOW. PAULA WAS GREAT.
    WELL, THIS IS COMING FROM ANOTHER AI FAN.
    I WILL STILL WATCH THE SHOW.
    I AGREE WITH THE ONE WHO SAID, THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT OF VOTES PER HOUSEHOLD, PER NUMBER.
    THE VOTING SYSTEM IS SO WRONG AND SO UNFAIR.
    LET OHER PEOPLE GET THROUGH THAT WANNA VOTE TOO.
    ENOUGH SAID !!!
    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY !!!!!!!!!!!

  26. DON’T WORRY EVERYONE. THIS YEAR ON IDOL WILL BE GREAT ! THE SHOW IS NOT ABOUT WHO THE JUDGES ARE. THE SHOW IS FOR THE CONTESTANTS, AND THEIR TALENT. THIS IS ONLY THE NEW BEGINNING OF THE END. WE HAVE LOVE AND WE HAVE HATE COMING FROM ALL OVER. SAY YOUR OPINION, AND GET OVER IT. LIFE ALONE IS UNFAIR.
    YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT YOU CAN TRY SOMETIMES. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT BEING WHO YOU CAN BE, AND BE ALL YOU CAN BE.
    I WANT OUR FANS TO STILL WATCH THE SHOW, NO MATTER WHO THE JUDGES ARE.
    LITTLE SECRET TO OUR FANS…”THIS YEAR ON AMERICAN IDOL, IS GOING TO BE WAY DIFFERENT”
    CAN’T SAY NO MORE, BUT YOU MIGHT BE SATISFIED.
    THERE WILL BE OTHER JUDGES ALL OVER THE WORLD TO HELP GET OUR CONTESTANS.
    JUST WATCH THE 2010 AMERICAN IDOL SHOW,
    AND BE AMAZED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT.
    SURPRISES THROUGH OUT THE YEAR !
    HAPPY NEW YEAR
    AMERICAN IDOL

  27. Hope Johnson said that she made it through to hollywood for 2010 and was wondering if there was a line up of other contestants as well.

  28. We don’t need jokes on AI, we need opinions and comments from judges who know music..The show is about talent but seeing how many non-talented people audition for AI, AMERICA needs help in hearing opinions to help their choices..Simon is about 95% correct, Randy is about 90% correct, Paula was “middle of the road” trying to be more understanding and Kara was more concerned that everyone had to agree with her opinions or she got p..sed.. Hopefully, AI idea of guest judges is a good way of auditioning future replacement..SMART!

  29. Joe were you referring to nora when you said you dont need jokes. we happen to know this person and she told us that she made it. we just wanted to see if there were a line up to see her name to see if were believeable or not.Didnt know it was a dumb question sorry. We cant find anything on her name was just wondering if anyone knew.

  30. Curious..I really was referring to Ellen G. and the humor that she is to be adding to the judging and on the contestants…I see that it could be taken a different way..Soorry for the mis-understanding. But,thanks for the follow up. P.S.I was muscical director for many broadway muscials performed in Chicago area and have auditioned thousand or more singers over the years.So,for my years of experience I do know a little bit and have learned to keep an open ear and mind..

  31. I love this show, and I hope that anonymous person (Guess who) was someone from AI who actually reads these and cares about our opinions. Enough with the gay-bashing! That has nothing to do with a person’s talent, or ability to be a good judge. True, Ellen is not a musician, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have taste in music, and know whats she likes, like any other person. She will be a breath of fresh air. Hopefully her easy-going nature will rub off on Simon and Kara, who get waaay too uptight. I agree with the one who said one vote per household. That is only fair. Let the people speak, and have a fair contest. I don’t even bother to vote as it is, but if they made a point of saying there will only be one vote allowed per household/number, I’d consider it.

  32. After all of these years, I am sorry, I am not looking forward to seeing Ellen on the show. Now Paula is gone, Simon is leaving and the show is sleeping, it will be interesting to see what the future brings.

    I am hopeful, but not confident, I think we may finally be seeing the death of the show.

  33. I am actually excited to see how everything plays out this season…I am gonna miss Paula,she and Simon kept things interesting and I think she kept everthing “real” as far as being honest without hurting the contestants feelings as only she could! I like Ellen, I think she will bring some personality to the show…However, if Simon leaves the show, The show will have absolutely 0 ratings! please dont go Simon!!!! PS Ryan you are awesome! but my idea of a getting high ratings again would be to get paula back, keep ellen, and boot out kara and convince Simon to stay!

  34. If anyone has ever sat from 10am to 6pm auditioning singers, dancers and actors, it is not fun and is gets boring…If not for AI editing and judges overall comments, people would never watch the audition part of the series..So, the judges have much to do with the beginning success and they will set the final grouping for us to vote for and hear sing for over two months..Their comments and opinions have much to do with the future of AI. I do not watch other talent shows because of the judges’ stupid, aggravating laughs and comments..I guess AI will reach that point with me.

  35. So? Ellen will be a breath of fresh air, she may not know music, but did Simon, in his earliest beginnings? She can dance, relates well to audiences and gay or not, seems to be a very nice human being. However, I WILL miss Paula ever so much, and would miss Randy if he left. Give Kara a chance, she has a kind heart and Idol needs that. I will very much miss Simon and Paula’s repartee, we enjoyed that. You never knew if they hated, or loved…each other! Paula, how about judging at ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ ???

  36. Kara? What were you thinking AI??? Ellen? We’ll have to see. I’ll watch a few episodes but I don’t know how much Kara I can take!! Randy? Will always love ya dawg!!! You were always my favorite judge anyway =]

  37. I absolutely love AI and can’t wait for the new season. I’ve been laughing at all the gay-basher comments. So much for tolerance and peace on earth. Ellen is awesome and will be fun to watch. I like Kara’s input. The finale last year against bikini-girl was the BEST finale of AI ever. Bring on the talent whether gay, straight or martian. We just love to watch it and vote for our fav’s. The religious hatemongers can have their own show on any of their wacko channels and leave the rest of us alone. As a christian believer, I’m still for the freedom of America and the right to choose. Sometimes I think we have our own little taliban churches right here in the good ‘ol USA – intolerant buffoons all of ’em. So you go AI. Bring us a new Carrie or Adam or Clay or Kelly. Rock on.

  38. HERE I AM AGAIN,
    JUST WANTED TO SAY… WE PROMISE ALL OF THE AMERICAN IDOL FANS SHOULD WATCH THE SHOW THIS YEAR. I SAID IT IN MY LAST OPINION, AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN…IT WILL BE BETTER THIS YEAR AND FILLED WITH SURPRISES. COME ON PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO KEEP IDOL ALIVE. DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW THE JUDGES ACT, OR WHAT THEY SAY. ELLEN WILL NOT BE HER FUNNY SELF.(just a little). – SIMON WON’T BE SO MEAN THIS YEAR.(very few words.) – RANDY ON THE OTHER HAND WILL STAY THE SAME.(just a little pitchy). – KARA IS KARA, SHE WILL SPEAK HER MIND.(thats all there is to it.)
    THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!
    WATCH AND FIND OUT. BUT REMEMBER FORGET ABOUT LOVE AND HATE, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE OUR FAVORITES. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND IT IS NOT UP TO THE JUDGES, BECAUSE IT’S AMERICA THAT VOTES.
    ALL VOTES ARE APPRECIATED.
    HI, CHERI – I READ YOUR OPINION TOO, I DO READ THESE, AND GUESS WHAT?..I AM PART OF THE SHOW.
    I CARE FOR EVERY VOTE THAT AMERICA BRINGS.
    AI

  39. To “GUESS WHO”..If you can not take the time to properly use “CAPS”, why should we take the time to read, listen and watch?…People who print this way, imply that they are “too hurried” and “very insensitive” to other opinions.
    Correct your printing and maybe I will watch AI..Being in the music business,I have to be open for criticism and critique! Are you?

  40. all this paula leavin and simon leavin is jus makin this year of american idol suck like really bad…!!!!!!! we are really gonna miss em’ dont want them to leave!!! OKAY NOW RANDY U HAVE TO STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. For all of you who have posted your opinion saying you won’t be watching this season because of the judges, I wonder why are you taking the time to even get on this site? As Guess Who says, it’s not about the judges, it’s all about the talent. The contestants who get past the auditions and make it to the show work hard to make a dream come true. Personally, I have NEVER watched this show but I will this season. More than anything, I want to see a dream come true for someone who deserves it! Watch and vote…I think you will be AMAZED at the talent you will witness this year!

  42. To “Can’t Wait”. You should be ashamed of yourself! You have never seen AI!!!That,s short for American Idol since you never watched it….Where have you been living?..In a Cave.. Can’t afford a TV…or not interested in seeing great talent discovered..For your information, the judges have a lot to do with getting the best talent for the final weeks..Their comments made the show…The viewers that have watched every season, have a right to voice their opinions…If the show is still on in five years and you are still watching it, maybe someone will want to hear your comments…So, just enjoy the new season!

  43. I love AI and can’t wait for new season. Voters got it right last season and not the judges. This is not about the judges, it is about the talent and the voters.

  44. You people that say you will never watch Idol again because PAULA is not going to be there anymore. Come on get a life. AI is entertainment and is not a hit because of PA. It is fun and entertaining and I can bet that the people that say they aren’t going to watch will watch. I also think Ellen will be fantastic and a fresh fun addition to the panel. Ellen will be the voice of the people and look at the talent through our eyes which is a good thing. So people get over it and enjoy watching American Idol instead of complaining that Paula is not there.

  45. Remember everyone…The judges pick, out of all the auditions, the final group of singers that we will be voting…Up until then, we have not a say…So, lets hope their knowledge of music, judgement of talent, and open mind, gives us the best…This is why the judges are so important in making the show successful…Amen to the true AI followers for their comments…

  46. Sometimes the best don,t win last season proved that, in my opinion Adam should have won, but that was last yearand now Adam is a super star

  47. TO JOSEPH AMBROSE — I AM ON THE CAPS, BECAUSE I WANT MY POINT HEARD AND SEEN. IF MY CAPS ARE KEEPING YOU FROM WATCHING THE SHOW, THEN YOU REALLY HAVE ISSUES. I AM TELLING EVERYONE WHO IS A FAN OF AMERICAN IDOL THE TRUTH. THERE ARE ALOT OF CONTESTANTS THIS YEAR.
    THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START SO JUST REMEMBER, IT IS NOT NICE TO SLAM PEOPLE. I HAVE BEEN READING ALL YOUR COMMENTS. I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY….IT WON’T MAKE US OR BREAK US IF (YOU) 1 PERSON DOES NOT WATCH THE SHOW..WHAT I REALLY THINK IS, PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY WON’T WATCH ANY MORE ARE THE ONE’S WHO WILL STILL WATCH.
    THE CONTESTANTS NEED US !!!
    NO MATTER WHO THE JUDGES ARE. COME ON PEOPLE GET A GRIP. DON’T ACT LIKE A BUNCH OF CHILDISH CHILDREN. PRETEND IT IS A NEW SHOW, THAT YOU NEVER SAW, AND JUST MAYBE IT WILL SURPRISE YOU.
    IF PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH THEY WILL, AND IF NOT, WELL THATS OK TOO.
    SIMON WILL NOT BE THERE NEXT YEAR…too bad!
    PAULA WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED…alot!
    RANDY WILL BE THE SAME RANDY…the dawg!
    KARA IS ALWAYS SAYING SOMETHING NEW…smart!
    ELLEN IS ALWAYS PUTTING A SMILE ON SOMEONES FACE… she will be ok!
    OUR TRUE FANS WILL STICK BY US !
    OUR CONTESTANTS WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF THE SHOW, GOOD OR BAD! THERE IS A REASON WHY WE PLAN THE SHOW THE WAY WE DO.

  49. Hey Joe, I think you are nobody…No one cares if you of all people watch the show or not.
    You don’t have a clue about what it is like to be a real judge or a contestant. You are as stupid as stupid gets. “GUESS WHO” is really trying to get a point across. You are acting like a BIG JERK… You know nothing and you also act like a little pre-schooler.
    “GUESS WHO” is 100% correct !!!
    I totally agree with GUESS WHO, an i know others do to…. Don’t be so mean, you are a jerk…LET’S ALL WRITE IN CAPS TO GET OUR POINT ACROSS, JUST LIKE GUESS WHO…
    LET’S HEAR – WHO AGREE’S WITH GUESS WHO…

  50. Me…You are 100% correct and I agree…Life is too short for anyone to want to voice their own opinions…
    I guess the judges should not be voicing their opinions on the talent they are hearing either..
    What a great show that would be! I have heard more auditions then you could every want to listen too…So, I guess I don’t know anything, am a jerk and being a school boy..I glad you agree with GUESS WHO…Do enjoy that!…Bye…last email and not reading this column anymore. Blocked!

  51. I agree with GUESS WHO.
    sounds like a very smart person.
    Unlike JOE, a person that is in prison for a very long time. He is very homely lookin.
    I looked him up online and seen his picture.
    Joe is either a colored man with long strangly hair, or he is a white man that looks very homely also doing a very very long time in prison….Good place for him….That explains his smart ass attitude…
    GUESS WHO — “ROCKS”

  52. Not pissed off..Have enjoyed every comment…It always shows the level of American’s point of view…Keep them coming…Always, AI has been great and great talent has come from it…Hope it can continue…The past judges proved that they could give us great final singers to make our votes ..The show beginning with judges and ends with the voters…We will see if the new can meet those standards.. Lets see/hear????????

  53. Hey Joe,
    I think you should tell “GUESS WHO” you are sorry. It sounds like you are coming to your senses. AMERICAN IDOL can still be a great show. It is all about the contestants.
    GUESS WHO is a smart person.
    no hard feelings right joe?

  54. “Guess Who and Love”..Love is right..Sorry if all was in the wrong path of an opinion..You are trying to keep “AI” going as you should…I think having ‘guest judges’ is a great idea and could prove to be the best and only way to find the right chemistry with future regular judges..

  55. OH MY, I HAVE MISSED ALOT.
    ONE COMMENT FOR JOE,… I REALLY DON’T THINK YOU EVEN HAVE A POINT TO MAKE.
    ARE YOU IN PRISON? REALLY? WOW!
    SOMEONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE !
    BE CAREFUL OUT THERE. IT IS A TOUGH WORLD.

    GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS!
    AI

  56. I WILL SEE HOW THINGS TURN OUT THIS YEAR.
    MAYBE THERE WON’T BE AMERICAN IDOL NEXT YEAR, OR JUST MAYBE THIS WILL BE THE BEST OF THE BEST OF AMERICAN IDOL.

  57. You all crack me up! How old are you all? Looking forward to my FIRST “AI” show and wishing the best of luck to the most talented contestants from the Boston area! Cheers!

  58. Can’t we all just get along?
    What is this ai coming too?
    What is all this jumble mumble?

    Joe, needs help!
    GUESS WHO, is right!
    Love is sticking up for Guess Who, which is also right.

    NOW…. American Idol is starting tonight at 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and i am watching it.

    I agree with GUESS WHO… SOUNDS TOUGH!

  59. Love your last comment Love.
    Love, peace, and there is a Joy on here too.
    So LOVE, PEACE AND JOY to every-one!
    You go GUESS WHO!!!!!!!
    I love your comments!!!!

    Peace

  60. THANK YOU TO THE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN MY COMMENTS. SHOWS THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE LEFT IN THIS WORLD. PERSONALLY I DON’T CARE WHO WATCHES OR WHO DON’T. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO NEVER CARED ABOUT IT, AND THEY O NOW. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEW PEOPLE WATCHING.
    ANY WAY…THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE GREAT!
    THERE IS GONNA BE A TWIST TO THE SHOW.
    IT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER AMERICAN IDOL SHOWS….SURPRISES, SURPRISES.
    I LOVE THE SHOW.
    I DON’T LIKE ALL THE JUDGES OR ALL THE CONTESTANTS, BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT GOING TO WATCH IT.
    I DON’T CARE FOR JOE TO MUCH, BUT AS YOU SEE, I AM STILL TALKING TO HIM…LOL.
    AI

  61. We should all be brave. We should not dislike anyone. GOD is the answer!!!!!
    Sounds like there are issues, but..I think some are RIGHT and some are WRONG.
    I’m not judging no-body. I watch the show for shits and giggles in the beginning of the show.
    Face it guys, just watch the show, without down grading people.
    GOD does not like that.

  62. WHERE YOU AT JOE?……..
    GREAT COMMENT “ALL AMERICAN FEMALE”
    THIS IS GONNA BE FUN TONIGHT!
    LET’S HEAR YOUR COMMENT AFTER THE SHOW TONIGHT JOE…WATCH AND BE HAPPY!!!

    AI

  63. ARE YOU COMING TO WASHINGTON D.C. IN 2010? I HOPE SO, I DON’T WATCH THIS SHOW MUCH, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO AUDTION!

  64. Why do people think they can sing, when they know they can’t? There were so many people there that would sing while they plugged their nose. why? That really sounds bad. Horrible.
    Don’t they realize that the judges are laughing at them? I was laughing so hard last night watching the show. I can’t wait til Ellen shows up. She will be great!!!
    Some like her, some don’t, But…
    I’m one that does.
    see ya at the show.

  65. HI, JACOB
    IT IS TO LATE TO AUDITION THIS YEAR.
    AUDITIONS TAKE PLACE THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST.
    WE ARE SO SORRY.
    TONIGHT WE ARE IN ATLANTA.
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR CONTESTANTS!

  66. all l want to know is what bands and singers were singing background on Tues Jan 12. That’s it that’s all. l think also there should be an american idol over the age of 30 contest too, show the youngsters we still have it.

  67. Let’s keep this thing clean. no-one diserves to be battered. This is AMERICA.
    This to me, is still ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
    LET FREEDOM RING.

  68. To nancy,
    To answer your question.
    Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Pink, along with the Dave Matthews Band and the Zac Brown Band.

  69. ALRIGHT, LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT!
    KARA KICKED BUTT, LAST NIGHT! SHE WENT WITH WHAT SHE FELT. I HAVE TO GIVE HER CREDIT.
    SHE GOT THE ATTITUDE BECAUSE OF THAT CERTAIN CONTESTANT. SIMON WAS REALLY JOKING WHEN HE SAID HE WOULDV’E SAID YES. SIMON WAS TRYING TO GET KARA STARTED AGAIN.
    AI

  70. AI FAN, thanks a lot for the names of the bands. Now all l have to do is find the song cause all l could remember was the melody. l then ran to my two sons(22 & 15) and lalalala the tune, they said, that was great mom, heard it before but don’t know who sang it. lolol Hope it won’t be that hard to find. lol

  71. SINCE I MAY BE 1 OF THE JUDGES ON AMERICAN IDOL, WE HAVE LISTENED TO MORE AUDITIONS THEN WE SHOW ON TELEVISION. IT IS A TOUGH JOB. DOING THIS FOR 9 SEASONS HAS REALLY
    BEEN A RIDE.
    REMEMBER THERE ARE GOOD SINGERS THAT KNOW THEY CAN SING, AND SINGERS WHO THINK THEY CAN SING AND CAN’T. NO-ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE JUDGES AND THE CONTESTANTS GO THROUGH. AS WE WORK ALMOST NONE STOP FOR 12 HOURS A DAY AND AT TIMES LONGER. GOING THROUGH HUNDREDS OF CONTESTANTS A DAY. GOT TO SAY THAT, I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
    THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS. WE WILL KEEP THEM ALL IN MIND.
    FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW….
    PAULA QUIT THE SHOW. IT WAS UP TO HER. SHE IS GETTING HER OWN TALK SHOW. THE AMERICAN IDOL SHOW WAS NOT GOING TO PAY HER MORE THEN THEY PAY RYAN.
    SIMON IS MOVING ON TO THE X FACTOR, NEXT YEAR.
    THE SHOW WILL NOT BE THE SAME BUT……..
    WE WANT YOU TO HELP KEEP AMERICAN IDOL ALIVE!
    WE NEED OUR FANS. NEXT YEAR AMERICAN IDOL WILL CONTINUE, BUT IT WILL CHANGE. THERE MAY BE 3 JUDGES AGAIN LIKE OLD TIMES.
    RANDY IS STAYING.
    RYAN IS STAYING.
    BEST WISHES, AND BEST OF LUCK TO PAULA AND SIMON.
    NOW, FOR HE NEW JUDGE, ELLEN…SHE REALLY IS A AWESOME PERSON. KNOWING ELLEN FOR YEARS, SHE MAY NOT BE A SINGER, BUT SHE DOES KNOW HER MUSIC. ELLEN HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR, BUT ALSO TAKES THINGS SERIOUSLY.
    WE NEED ELLEN AS MUCH AS WE NEED YOU!!!
    AI

  72. I don’t watch AMER IDOL anymore because Paula left the show! She brought a lot of credibility to the show. I haven’t watched it & WON’T, this 2010 season. And speaking of disappointing TV-shows, I will no longer watch The Apprentice,this 2010 season, either. This show has also totally lost its credibility! Back to the Scrabble & Monopoly board games for me.

  73. I had to watch the show giving it the “Benefit of the doubt” and because of all the comments.. AI has some of the best editing crew. They have made the show more interesting with their slicing and dicing of film. Many ridiculous comments by judges were cut short and edited..Thank god, especially thoses from guest judges…and Thank god for Randy..Simon is Simon as always…Believe it or not, Kara is getting more appealing and sexier…Good work there AI and Kara…

  74. GUESS WHO! I am watching and enjoying…But, just a suggestion…I think its about time to come up with another way to end each audition show..The “last person set-up” is getting to be too unrealistic and predictable..Don’t know what else can be done, but it’s needed….Thanks GUESS WHO!
    P.S. Be in Hollywood soon, and maybe attend the live shows…Calling my agent there to see what is available-I Hope?..

  75. WE WILL SEE ABOUT CHANGING THE LAST SETTER.
    I HAVE RESPECT FOR YOU AND ALL OTHERS THAT WATCH THE SHOW. TELL ME ABOUT YOU…AGE, MARRIED, RACE,…ECT….I WILL GIVE YOU A EMAIL ADDRESS OF MINE, IF YOU WANT!?
    LET’S KEEP IDOL ALIVE TOGETTHER, DEAL?

  76. um… I one that doesn’t believe Guess Who has anything to do with the show – I’m just saying. And no one writes in all caps anymore except a kid or … nevermind. That being said, I appreciate Guess Who’s cheerleading. But come on, asking about age, married, RACE? sheesh. I’m not gonna flame anyone but this is getting outta hand. Now I’ll get back to reading about AI, just everyone be careful about giving personal info etc in emails to peeps you know nothing about. Take care my friends. Rock on AI.

  77. Can hardly wait to see who all the judges are next year…my vote RICK SPRINGFIELD…lol and I’m looking forward to Ellen as she will add a little humor and an honest opinion.

  78. RIVER, I WASNT TALKING TO YOU!!! NEVER MIND ME, BECAUSE I JUST MAY BE FROM AMERICAN IDOL.
    I WANT TO KNOW JOE, BECAUSE HE IS STARTING TO BE A FRIEND, AND IF I MEET HIM IN HOLLYWOOD, I WANT TO KNOW I HAVE THE RIGHT GUY. I REALLY DON’T CARE IF HE IS MARRIED BUT I WOULD INVITE HER TOO. I WANT TO GET TO KNOW JOE. FYI, I’M MARRIED… JOE COME BACK AND WE CAN MEET IN HOLLYWOOD…HOPE YOU MAKE IT!

  79. If you gave 22 goldent tickets in Los Angeles why did you spend so much time showing us clowns in the show instead of showing us the real artists who got the golden tickets?. They deserve to be seen at least for a few seconds after spending so much time and efort preparig for your show? They deseve more credit than that. Please show them at sometime, I like to see them in action instead of just knowing the number of golden tickets. Please show us more artists and less clowns

  80. YOU WILL SEE ALL THE CONTESTANTS THAT GOT A GOLDEN TICKET. I HAVE A DUE DATE TO BE ON ANOTHER CHANNEL. HAVE FUN GUYS!

  81. I will be watching Season 9 this year, but will definitely not be voting after the fiasco that ended up with Adam Lambert coming in SECOND ??? — ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

    He can and will sing rings around anyone else who ever appears on American Idol and will out-sell and out-perform any previous Idol.

    It would definitely be nice if the judges would quit showing partiality to the contestants — all it did was tick people off who then decided to vote for someone else. Everybody likes a “dark horse” — remember Simon??

  82. I’m not sure how you can be a judge without stating who you think did a great job and who didn’t . . . even Paula was reduced to complimenting their clothes when they sang bad. I just think people always go for the underdog which wasn’t Adam, remember Sanjya. Also, no matter how we slice it, there are a zillion people who are uncomfortable with the idea of gays and who are responsible for the utmost cruelty, either in word or deed. They would turn their backs on their own children. I think Adam will have a good career. His talent should keep him going. Daughtrey is doing ok too. I’ll still vote, if only to cancel out the hate vote.

  83. RIVER, I AM NOT ONE OF THEE (4) JUGES ON THE PANEL. YOU KNOW THE CONTESTANS HAVE TO GO THROUGH CHANNELS, BEFORE THEY REACH THE END OF THE ROPE WITH SIMON, RANDY, KARA, AND ELLEN.
    I DO NOT LIKE CERTAIN PARTS OR CERTAIN CONTESTANTS EITHER. WE ALL HAVE DREAMS, AND SOME OF US WILL MAKE THEM COME TRUE.
    YOU GOT TO HAVE SELF CONTROL TO DO WANT YOU WANT TO DO IN LIFE. AS FAR AS SAYING WHO DID A GOOD JOB OR WHO DIDN’T… I CAN’T REALLY SAY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT “ALL OF US” DO AS THE BEST AS WE CAN! GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS THAT HAVE ENTERED AND GOT THAT GOLDEN TICKET.
    I REALLY HAVE NO POWER OVER THE SHOW, BUT I GIVE ALL SUGGESTIONS FROM OUR FANS.
    AI

  84. To Guess whos!

    My emails are not being posted.
    Can you email me so I know if I
    should be still commenting.
    Be watching tonight…
    Joe.

  85. JOE, TRIED TO FIND YOUR ONE OF YOUR EMAILS BUT I HAVE LIKE 50 JOE’S…LOL.
    WHAT STATE. ARE YOU IN? THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW…I WILL EMAIL YOU WHEN I FIND IT.
    I WILL INFORM YOU.
    THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND!!!

  86. Guess who…I live part-time in Mexico and have other places in Hollywood, Arizona and Illinois..Semi-retired.. Family back in Hollywood next week- not me..
    Show was very interesting last night! Kara is definitely getting better and Simon really showed “to heart” true feelings to contestants..A good mix in judging..

  87. SOUNDS LIKE ME. IAM ALL OVER ALL THE TIME.
    I’M IN LOS ANGELES NOW. I HAVE 4 HOMES.
    I’M LIKING YOUR COMMENTS. YOU ARE A TRUE IDOL FAN AFTER ALL AREN’T YOU?…LOL
    GOOD JOB!!!
    TAKE CARE JOE,…WE WILL TALK LATER.

  88. LOT’S MORE SURPRIZES COMING !!!

    T H I S C O M I N G U P W E E K
    I S G O I N G TO B E
    G R E A T !!!!!

  89. JOE,..I’M FLYING OUT ON BUSINESS,
    JUST FOR A DAY.
    I WILL RETURN TO THIS POSTING AFTER MY NEXT EXPEDITION THAT I SCOPE OUT FOR NEW IDEA’S, FOR AI. I REPORT ONLY THE IDEA’S I THINK THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR AMERICAN IDOL TO KNOW.
    THATS ONLY PART OF MY JOB.
    SEE YA.

  90. I have 10 homes and I’m helping AI all the time too. They ask me my opinion. I live all over the world so I can give them life experience. Ellen asked me about her hair and I said ‘go shorter’. I think it worked out well. Adam called me the other day and I told him to stay with the black goth-glam look, it’s working for him. Now I think Randy is doing ok but he gets depressed and I have to give him a peptalk every now and then. I’ll be in Hollywood next year since I’m buying a house there. It’s just hard to find help to run it while I’m jet-setting around the world with Simon. Oh well. Enough of my problems. See you all in Hollywood, we’ll do lunch. rofl

  91. River, you have to stop being so stupid.
    Maybe they really do have a few houses each.
    people that have money can do that. You are a jealous little thing aren’t you???
    Mind your own business, and KARMA won’t come and getchya. You are so wrong for saying what you did. We really know you are a joke now.
    You just wish you were apart of this little AI friendsy. This is a A & B conversation, so C your way out, and leave these two talking. I have been following their comments, an i think GUESS WHO is really saying what he/she knows.
    Joe, on the other hand is what i think is he is pulling her leg, like you are trying to do. You don’t even make it sound realistic.
    You said your piece, now leave!!!
    Another American Idol Fan

  92. Oh yea, river, if you don’t like what you read or see here, why o you even bother coming back?
    We don’t need your bull shit here!
    These guys are funny, and i can’t wait for the next comment from either of them.
    Let them have their fun. Don’t ruin a good thing. Just leave them alone.

  93. Hi Amazing Grace…Please, if you got something to say about me, post directly to me… and don’t comment to someone else without having the true story about that person….Comment more on what is happening with AI…….Enjoyed what has been happening with AI up to now and next week will tell more about the judges and the mix…

  94. ok, you’re right. I figured this out a long time ago and I should have just deleted this link. I think you are a very very sad lonely person with your multiple commentors. I had thought this was a legitimate American Idol website and then I got a bit confused because of the obviously wishful thinking posts, the manufactured fights, then all of a sudden everyone becoming fast friends and owning homes. Thank god that American Idol is not represented in any way by the people in this posting. It would have been cancelled in the first year. Have fun.

  95. RIVER, YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE! WHAT IN THE WORLD DID ANYONE DO TO YOU???
    I DON’T LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!YOU HAVE A ATTITUDE.
    YOU ARE A BIG BRAT, THAT CAN DISH IT, BUT CAN’T TAKE IT!!!
    ———————————————————————————————-
    GOOD – JOB – AMERICAN – IDOL
    ———————————————————————————————-
    KEEP THE GOOD COMMENTS COMING…
    ———————————————–

  96. GUESS WHO…
    I have an idea for AI for next season…
    Today, with the success of music videos as part of a group, singer or band’s versatility, you can add this as part of the final 24( or final 12) auditions..Each would do a music video..I have just the way it could be done very easy and professionally if interested…

  97. JOE,… THAT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.
    YES, I THINK THAT MIGHT SEND NEW TALENT TO THE SHOW. AMERICAN IDOL MAY NOT BE COMING NEXT YEAR. I GOT WORD OF SOME WHAT OF IT AT THE MEETING. TALK SOON.

  98. I WAS BEING A SMARTIE ..JUST LIKE YOU JOE.
    I HAVE BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF.
    AMERICAN IDOL WILL DO IT THEIR WAY…

  99. I really do not care who the judges are if the talent is right . I really wanted to see the singing Policeman and the Excon on the show they BOTH CAN REALLY SING AND IT MIGHT HAVE MADE FOR AN interesting Show.

  100. I am true American Idol fan, and have watched it since the beginning. However, if they put Howard Stern on in place of Simon I will never watch a second of it again. The remarks Stern made about the victims of the Columbine shooting immediately after it happened, turned my stomach. The man is the most vile person on the face of the earth and will do anything for a reaction or a dollar. I will do everything I can to encourage others to turn Idol off if he has anything to do with the show. PLEASE DON’T HELP HOWARD STERN MAKE A LIVING – HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT.

  101. I -DO NOT- like Howard Stern either.
    He will make Idol go down quick…

    The only thing Howard knows about is SEX!!!
    He will not be a good judge on American Idol.

    He is the most disgusting person there is.
    PLEASE, AMERICAN IDOL….DO NOT CHOOSE —
    HOWARD STERN– TO REPLACE SIMON.

  102. Guess Who…I guess you saw a picture of the wrong man…I have salt and pepper hair and ..still a lot of it..THANKS FOR LOOKING ANYWAY. Back home now and watching the new talent come around..Still have to watch for judging their future..The best of luck on your end..

  103. TO AI AND GUESS WHO! Just an opinion on shows so far!
    Singing a little weak with the men…The ladies are shining ahead so far…I realize now that the judges have their opinions 90% set before show-time due to hearing and seeing them in rehearsals earlier…”E” is trying hard but needs more script …repeating and repeating the same “like or dislike” comments..Enjoying!

  104. HI JOE, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
    I THINK ELLEN IS REALLY TRYING TOO.
    I CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, SORRY.
    I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING THE X-FACTOR, NOW THATS A GREAT SHOW. HAVE YOU SEEN IT YET?

  105. Guess Who…
    Thanks for emailing back..No on viewing the show but, will take a look.
    Last month I sent a theme song that I wrote to the Tonight Show w/ Conan, but now he is no longer there..Timing is eveything..Now That’s bad timing..Oh well…Try one for Jay…

  106. JOE, CHECK OUT THE X FACTOR ON YOUTUBE.
    IT’S GREAT! I REALLY WISH YOU LUCK ON YOUR SONG. MY FATHER WROTE A POPULAR SONG, I WOULD RATHER NOT SAY WHAT SONG RIGHT NOW, BUT HE ALSO WROTE ANOTHER ONE AND NEVER DID NOTHING WITH IT, SO I THINK I’M GOING TO SEND IT IN.
    HE HAS PASSED AWAY 5 YEARS AGO. HE WILL BE PROUD. WELL STAY TUNED TO IDOL. SEE YA AROUND.

  107. GUESS WHO.. VIEWED X FACTOR ON UTUBE…IT WAS THE ONES FROM DENMARK AUDITIONS…INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE…AI..I love the talent of Ell but she is really a “a fish out of water” with the show..The ladies have out performed the men and it seems to be continuing again tonight…Also, having Kara dress more senuous and with her weight lost has added a more sexual look to the judges. This has replaced the beauty that Paula had on the AI., The final six ladies/men will make for very intersting final shows…Can’t pick one yet, but will…

  108. GUESS WHO! ..After seeing all the ladies last night, there got to be more improvement on both the men and ladies..It was very weak over-all performance nights. The judges did not know what to say about it either. I was not impressed..The “back stage music help” got to work on all to improve their stage present and showmanship.
    No great star has showed up yet! AI could quickly remove four ladies and four men from the show tonight if they could..BUT!.I am sure someone will set themselves apart from all the others very soon..

  109. HI JOE, GLAD YOU ENJOYED X FACTOR. I REALLY THINK IT WILL OVER COME IDOL.
    SORRY I DIDN’T WRITE EARLIER, GOT STUCK IN WORK. I THINK THIS YEAR WITH IDOL IS THE WORST YEAR. WE HAD GREAT TALENT FROM SEAON 1-8.
    THIS YEAR IS NOT GOOD WITH THE CONSTESTANTS.
    THEY CHOSE WRONG PEOPLE. AND SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO AMERICA, WHEN AMERICA COULD HAVE THEIR SAY IN WHERE THEY WANTED THE JUDGES TO GO IN THE STAES FOR AUDITIONS. I EVEN CHOSE A FEW STATES, BUT WHO EVER WAS AHEAD OF THAT FEILD, DID NOT LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC.
    I THINK THEY SHOULD GO TO EVERY STATE, AN GIVE PEOPLE A REAL CHANCE. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TALENT, BUT NO FUNDS TO TRAVEL JUST FOR A AUDITION. I DON’T THINK IT’S RIGHT.
    SOOORRRRYYY! AS SIMON WOULD SAY….LOL..
    COM’ ON JOE LOL……
    LOVE, ME

  110. GUESS WHO… I agree 100%…and that’s says it all coming from me…Just enjoy what we are seeing for now…
    Good luck on future decisions…
    Joe..

  111. THANKS JOE!
    IT IS REALLY NICE TALKING TO YOU.
    AT LEAST WE SEE EYE TO EYE 🙂
    ***GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO***

  112. HEY JOE, HOW ARE YOU DOING? WHO ME?…I’M GOOD.
    SO, LET’S SEE IF SOMETHING CHANGES TOMORROW NIGHT ON IDOL.

  113. GUESS WHO…Be watching and talent should start to come through…I hope…
    Thanks for keeping in touch with me..

  114. is there a wiLdcard.? please bring back john park on idol…he’s really good,please give him another chance..

  115. JOE, YOU ARE WELCOME!
    WELL IF AMERICAN IDOL SERVIVES, THE JUDGES NEED TO GO TO OTHER STATES THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TO YET. THEY KEEP GOING TO THE SAME ONES WHERE THEY FOUND TALENT BEFORE, HOPING THEY WILL FIND IT AGAIN…WELL, NOT SO. HERE IS WHAT I THINK…NOW IT’S TIME TO GET DIRTY…
    **KARA IS GETTING TO CLOSE TO SIMON, AND HE IS GETTING MARRIED, PLUS SHE IS TRYING TO ACT LIKE PAULA,IN WAYS. I THINK KARA IS FLIRTING WITH SIMON, AND DON’T REALLY WANT TO SIT NEXT TO ELLEN, JUST BECAUSE SHE IS GAY. KARA DON’T EVEN TALK TO HER ON THE SHOW LIKE SHE DID THE OTHER LADY JUDGES. KARA HAS A CONCUPISCENT FOR SIMON. NOW FOR SIMON, HE IS A MAN WITH ACUMEN, AND EQUANIMITY. NOW FOR RANDY, WELL,…RANDY DOES EXCOGITATE, SOMETIMES. THATS IT FOR HIM, ON WITH ELLEN,…ELLEN IS NERVOUS, THINGS ARE TAKING HER BY SURPRISE, EXSPECIALLY IF CERTAIN PEOPLE DON’T LIKE HER…(gay or not…) CAN’T ACT LIKE THAT. I THINK ELLEN IS FUNNY, AND STILL SINCERE. ELLEN IS MAGNANIMOUS.
    RYAN IS SO PERFECT FOR THAT JOB. RYAN IS A BELLWETHER, IN HIS OWN WAY OF DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC. WITH HIS RADIO JOB, AND AI, PLUS HIS OTHER INTERESTS, I DO GIVE RYAN ALOT OF CREDIT.
    WELL, JOE, THATS WHAT I THINK OF THE WHOLE THING. SEE MY POINT?
    IF AI DON’T LIKE WHAT I JUST SAID, THEN THEY CAN……WELL YOU KNOW …DO I REALLY HAVE TO SAY IT?..LOL…OK, I WILL IF YOU WANT ME TOO…LOL.
    SO JOE, YOU DOING GOOD?

  116. CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT SCOTT MACINTYRE WANTS TO REPLACE SIMON. HE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO APPLY FOR THE JOB. I DON’T THINK HE WOULD MAKE A GOOD JUDGE PERSONALLY.
    WELL LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK JOE.
    LET’S KEEP THIS GOING.

  117. Guess Who…Someone said earlier that AI was only for the talent and not about the judges….
    When I said both make to show, I had many negative comments…I think we both can agee now, that the talent and judges evenly make it a successful show…and when it is not handled correctly, there are problems…which is what is happening now…I do like the other aspect on what is happening in the show and can see the personality conflicts…It’s a trip…I have not been paying as much attention to the singing as to what is happening/listening to what comes out of the judges mouths. It should not be that way. Take care Guess who..more later..

  118. RIGHT ! AMERICAN IDOL IS ABOUT THE CONTESTANTS, AND NOT ABOT THE JUDGES,…BUT, NOW,… THE SHOW AND THE JUDGES ARE MAKING IT THAT WAY. I ALSO ARE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THE JUDGES TOO, RATHER THAN THE SINGERS.
    I JUST DON’T LIKE THIS YEAR AT ALL, PERSONALLY.
    I DON’T THINK IDOL WILL SURVIVE ANOTHER YEAR.
    THEY NEED TO DO A VIDEO TALENT, LIKE YOU SAID.
    A WHOLE NEW SHOW.
    WELL JOE WE WILL KEEP IN TOUCH.
    TAKE CARE!

  119. JOE,
    SO, YOU GOT A FAVORITE / A FEW FAV’S. YET?
    I DO, I GUESS. I GUESS YOU CAN GO TO (vote 4 idol.com) AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.
    LET ME KNOW WHATS UP. TALK TO YA LATER.

  120. Hi Guess Who…So far it has been Crystal and most are saying the same too..She has to put down the guitar and use the stage more to show her stage presents…All the singers that are playing an instrument seem to be using it as their security blanket and do not work the audience…They would shine more for those that know how to do it because all vocals are not has strong has other years. Just my critique..Take Care…Be in L A.(HOLLYWOOD)
    playing a Texas hold em’ tournament in BEVERLY HILLS HOME..SHOULD BE FUN.

  121. JOE,
    GOOD FOR YOU, I WISH YOU ALOT OF LUCK.
    I LOVE TO PLAY TEXAS HOLD EM.
    WE PLAY IT AROUND HERE TOO.
    I REALLY LIKE CRYSTAL, SHE IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE. SHE IS VERY TALENTED IN MANY WAYS.
    CRYSTAL HAS THE LOOKS AND THE VOICE. I GIVE HER ALOT OF CREDIT. NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN.
    I HOPE YOU HAVE A BLAST. SO HOW OLD ARE YOU?
    I WILL TELL YOU, IF YOU TELL ME…LOL
    THATS ALL I WANNA KNOW,….NOW THAT WE ARE FRIENDS.

  122. Thanks, Guess Who…As you can probably guess, I am not young but not real,real old…I am 56 and still learning and experiencing new adventures whenever I can. Play tennis and golf and still perform piano/organ promo concerts about four times a year…My dates were wrong / in Hollywood on Aril 1st and tournament is 3rd…Time to watch the “kick-off” show.

  123. I AM 36 SOON 37, MY HUSBAND IS 47.
    WE WORK TOGETHER DOING CONSTRUCTION WORK.
    ENJOY 2 TRACKING, CRUISING IN THE SAND DUNES,
    AND CAMPING. WORKING WITH IDOL.
    I ENJOY MIXING BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE!…LOL..
    I LIKE TO HAVE FUN. I AM A 100 LB. WOMAN, SO I SAY I MAY BE SMALL BUT I’M TOUGH.
    DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ELSE?…
    TAKE CARE MY FRIEND..
    WELL I THINK ELLEN IS TRYING TO GET BETTER ON THE SHOW, BUT THEY ALL ARE CRAZY NOW.

  124. JOE, THEM ARE THE THINGS I LIKE TO DO.
    JUST BECAUSE I TRAVEL A LITTLE HERE AND THERE, I DON’T LIKE IT. I’M RETIREING FROM IT SOON. SETTLING DOWN IN 1 STATE OR 2.

  125. Guess Who….
    Sounds like your family really enjoys the outdoors…
    Glad to know more about you…If there is a safe address, I would send you one of my concert CDS…This is too open for personal emails and address…Have a nice holiday coming up….

  126. GW..I am going to cancel one of my hotmail email addresses shortly…If I post it here and you email any mailing addresses,email or personal info, AFTER I will cancel the email address so that there will be no use of it in the future for anyone…Also,my wife is 5’1″ and 105 lbs..Was a jazz dancer in NY in her younger days…about the same sizes as you…Any other ideas? If you say ok I will post on next look-see to AI…GOT TO GO KNOW..

  127. JOE, THATS OK…IF YOU GET A EMAIL WITH THE NAME STARTING WITH “IGO……@…….” THEN IT WILL BE ME. OK.
    THIS IS GONNA BE INTERESTING.
    “JAZZ DANCER” WOW NOW THATS PRETTY COOL.
    I WILL TELL YOU MORE WHEN I EMAIL YOU.
    TAKE CARE JOE.
    I WILL TELL YOU MORE OF MY HOBBIES ECT….

  128. JOE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE ME A HOTMAIL ADDRESS THAT I COULD EMAIL YOU!?
    DID I MIS-UNDERTAND YOU. YOU CAN REACH ME AT AOL. BUT I CAN’T GIVE YOU MY EMAILS ON HERE..
    BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO EXPIRE ONE OF YOUR’S, THEN IT SHOULD WORK. 🙂
