Still as interested as last year or just checking our the new Amer Idol

I missed the first show but I wanted to see it but I forgot to DVR it also. I like this show it is very interesting. I like like hereing new voices.

i'm from the Philippines but i also watch American Idol. when does it start this year? and you're right, the early stages are as fun as the actual competition. :)

Last year i hardly watched because I just needed a break. I did tune in to last night's premiere and I have to say, I think I'm hooked. There were some great singers last night and I already want to see who makes it to the final group :) So I will DVR it, and fast forward it whenever it gets boring! I didn't watch the full 2 hours, I fast forwarded when I could tell that a singer sucked and they were just going to bash them for 5 minutes. While a few of those are interesting, it gets boring after awhile. Kara annoys me, but I'm looking forward to Ellen which is why I will plan to tune in.

Im just as interested and doing Mylot during the commercials! This premiere has started off good so far. I knew the first girl was a no go when I saw her jumping in front of the mirror and using the game. Uh, no. But, you have to admire people for their bravery to go audition. I sing okay, but I know I am not star material so I prefer to stay at home and cheer on the ones who can.

i watched idol via downloading the show from the internet and I must say Paula Abdul's departure bring a slight change in the judging room. Simon surprisingly was not as grudgingly as usual, in fact he's quite nice this season. first episode disappoints me since i think many contestants that goes to Hollywood week has regular voice and I only remember the curly dude. Btw from her comments, Vic beckham seems to be more interested in fashionwise than singing talent. The Atlanta episode was much more promising though, and shows outstanding talent. I like the dude that sing One Of Us...his voice were so subtle..I expect more talent this season, especially since it's Simon last season. he should leave this show with a great season...

I watched it last night. Usually, I don't miss an episode of the audition process. It's where the most fun is at. I'm curious of this year's TV audience impact with Ellen as the new judge. I think the talents would never cease to amaze us.

I love the audtion part of American Idol because I sit there and laugh my head off. I can't believe how many people think they can sing. How family members will tell these poor people that they have talent when they can't carry a note at all. Then you have a few that shine thru and you can tell have the talent to go on. I will be watching and looking forward to seeing Ellen next month on it. With Simon leaving after this season I believe this may be the last season for the show because it just won't be the same without Simon.

I always watch American Idol, from start to finish. The funny people who wanted to get through, people you saw auditioned and became contestants, people who tried every year are one of those things to catch. There are also a lot to stay tunned for. New judge "Ellen Degeneres" and a new news that Simon will be finishing contract this May. This will be one of the interesting season.
