Idol is back

Season 8 of American Idol kicked off last night and the first episode already has given us a taste of the changes made by the shows producers and so far I think they are on the right track. First we now have a 4th judge and so far I like Kara and how she evaluates talent. The verbal skirmish with Bikini girl was a bit much but so is auditioning in a skimpy bikini and high heels:



But give [insert name here] credit, she made it to Hollywood with minimal talent and maximum exposure. The other change was to focus on good-o-great singers and no-so-much on the yearly freaks and 15-minute seekers. I found this to be refreshing because in past years some audition episodes were so painful to watch I would zip right through them.

One thing that hasn't changed is how goofy Ryan Seacrest is. When the show opened, we got the signature "This is American Idol" opening lines from Ryan as the camera panned over the Grand Canyon. Sorry Ryan, but that is the Grand Canyon not a singing completion. He even went as fat to try and high five a visually impaired contestant. Check it out:



Hopefully tonight, AI can pull back some of the Seacrestness and give us more of the singers.

Lee Lee said...what a ding bat! High fivin' a guy who's vision was described as seeing things thru a keyhole. If you are not in the keyhole (like Ryan 'ding bat' Seacrest) then you are not seen. I also liked how he squeemishly didn't want to kiss this girl in her bikini. I think he should be on his own reality show with this girl and his mom living in the house. Then we'd find out if he likes girls or not.
