Idol is Back!



They're back. That's right; Simon, Paula, Randy, a new judge and the entire cast and crew of American Idol are back for another season starting tomorrow! Maybe you like the show and maybe you can't stand it. However, it is difficult to ignore its appeal and notice how many "wanna be" idol shows have followed in its lead.




Do you watch the show? Why or why not? Maybe you are a late convert, like me. I started watching three years ago. Maybe you have never seen it and don't plan to see it. Who is your favorite judge?


Maybe it is William Hung or maybe Sanjaya or Clay Aiken or another American Idol contestant, but who is your favorite, and why? What do you think the show will be like this season? Lastly, will you be watching tomorrow night?

I do not really watch American Idol. I only watch the auditions. People come up there and sometimes embarrass themselves. It is funny to see some of the people who think they can sing but really can't. I am not really looking forward to this season, so i do not think I will be watching it tomorrow night.

I do watch the show most of the time because it is fun to watch people who are really good at singing and then people who aren’t. My favorite judge would probably be Randy because, he is an honest judge and he makes jokes at times too. Carrie Underwood is one of my favorite American idol. She has an amazing voice and did very well through the season. I probably will not watch it tomorrow it just depends on what I am doing and if that is what I am in the mood to watch.

I've always been big into music and singing, but I have never liked the show. I love seeing how music or a particular song can affect people's moods or opinions. My mom and Sis both love the show, so naturally it's on every Tuesday/Wednesday (or whatever the new schedule may be) in my house. Every year, I tell myself that I won't follow it. But then half way through the season, I find one person I like. I never remember their names, but it is always interesting to see how these people can put their own spin on classics.

Well I don’t like the show because I’m just not into those kinds of shows. It is really boring to me. I can’t choose which judge i like the best because I never watch the show. And I highly doubt that I'll watch it tomorrow night. Or ever.

I like the show although sometimes it tends to get a little boring. The auditions are my favorite part out of the entire season, because of some of the people that go up there. My favorite judge is Simon because he tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back. Advice? If you can’t take criticism, don’t try out for anything in from of Cowell. My favorite American Idol would have to be Clay Aiken, (not my friend Brandon, Mr. D!), or Carrie Underwood. I didn’t really plan on watching the new season but its hard to stay away from it while its on!

I watch American Idol every year. My favorite part about American Idol is the auditions. I like to watch the people that go to an audition who think they can sing but can’t and to see who will win the craziest audition. My favorite judge is Paula. Paula is very sweet and gives people her vote in a nice way. Carrie Underwood is my favorite Idol so far. She really could sing better than anyone on the show that year, and she really deserved to win it. In a way she was like me. She grew up and lived on a farm and worked for what she had. I also grew up and live on a farm, and work for what I have.

I watch American Idol every once and a while but I don’t find it that appealing. I mostly watch it when there is nothing else on television. I don’t have a favorite judge but I am curious to see who the new judge will be. I have to admit that American Idol has gotten a little boring over the years. During the first few seasons it was all the commercials talked about but now it’s just begging for another season.

I do watch the show because I think that it is hilarious. Putting an uptight British man in an audition room full of loud, crazy Americans is pure TV gold. Simon never tells anything but the truth, when a singer is off by even one note, SIMON WILL DESTROY HIM. This season I am hoping to see a worker I saw singing at Busch Gardens get the golden ticket. She seemed like an amazing singer and I believe she has a very good chance of making it to the final round.

I don’t really watch the show, but I do look at the auditions because they are super hilarious! My favorite judge would have to be Simon because he is so harsh, that it’s funny. I don’t have a favorite contestant, but there has been many funny people come on the show. I think the show will be the same as always and yes, I do plan on watching the auditions.

I love American Idol because I love music. I like to see people sang also. When I watch television it has something to do with music. The judge that I like the most will have to Paula. She speaks her mind about things and she loves everybody. My favorite American Idol contestant would have to be fantasia. She has a beautiful voice and I listen to her music so it’s good that she did make it. I think that this season will be great because you never know what happens.

American Idol is like a good opportunity for someone to make it in the music industry. I use to watch it but after a while it gotten kind of boring to me. They need to change up some things, like when contestants get to the big stage they should dance along with the song that they sing. I don’t have a favorite judge. My favorite American Idol winner was Fantasia because she has a great
Soul voice.

Unknown said...

The only part like about American idol is the audition because it is funny how Simon jokes on the people that can't sing at all. I don't really like any of the judges that much. And I don't have a favorite American idol. I think the season will be very boring this year. I'm probably be watching something else or I'm go to bed.

Unknown said...

I like watching American Idol. My favorite judge is definitely Simon because even if I do not agree with it, he's so mean and I think it's usually funny what he says. My favorite contestant up there would probably be Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, or David Cook. I think that all of them did really great during the show.

Unknown said...

I have wactched American Idol before, to be honest I like the auditions they are too funny. I don't think I will watch it like I used to. I think it is a good way to show your talent to the world.

I absolutely love American Idol! I have watched this show for quite a few years now. I like watching the auditions because they show a few good singers but most of them are horrible and funny at the same time. Randy is my all time favorite judge. He is my favorite because he jokes around a lot but he knows what to say and he gives good advice. My favorite American Idol winner would have to be either Carrie Underwood or David Cook. Carrie Underwood has been very successful from the time she won. I will definitely be watching it tomorrow night.

My favorite judge is Randy. HE always makes me laugh with his brutally honest. My favorite Idol of all time is Carrie Underwood. She was just the small town girl who believed she could do something and she did. She is now one of the biggest country stars.

I like to watch American Idol, but I don't like plan my week around so I can watch it. If it's on I'll watch it and I look to see who won but it's not my favorite show in the world. My favorite judge is Simon because it is funny to listen to what he has to say. Sometimes I will go on Youtube and watch certain auditions where he is just brutal. I dont think the new judge will be accepted because it has always been two yesses and your in but now what are they going to do if it's a tie? My favorite Idol so far has been Carrie Underwood because she became the most famous.

I am a fan of American Idol. My favorite judge is Randy. He has good advice and I thinkit is funny when he laughs at some contestants. Even though that is mean I like to laugh at some of the people up there too. I don't like any of the three people we heard today. my mon and I like to watch the show and will most probably watch it as long as I don't have to much homework.

LeAnne said...

I absolute love American Idol, my favorite has to be Carrie Underwood. I watch for the laughs, I never miss an episode, I follow it until the end. My favorite judge is Randy, he makes me laugh and he is just real. Tomorrow night I will me watching….American Idol.

Roger said...

No I do not watch the show because it’s just a realty show and I don’t think that anything on that show is real or not planed. I would have too said that my favorite judge will have to be Paula Abdul and my all time favorite singer would have to be fantasia. That was the last season that I watch. No I will not be watching the season anytime time soon.

Unknown said...

American Idol is so much fun to watch on T.V. You better bet I will be watching it tomorrow night. I love listening to music all the time. My favorite judge on American Idol would have to be both Randy and Paula. They are nice to everyone unlike Simon. I try and watch American Idol when I can, but that doesn’t happen too often because I have a job. My favorite two people that won American Idol would have to be Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. I can not wait for tomorrow night I am so excited to see it on T.V. again.

I dont really watch American Idol anymore. The only time I do watch it is when I'm really, really bored and there's nothing else to watch and to be honest I hardly ever watch it then. I'll admit that I do love to sing but American Idol is just not my thing. My Aunt says that I should go on American Idol when I get older but I dont think that I will. My favorite singer on American Idol or should I say singers would be Fantasia, Rubben Studdard, Jordin Sparks and Sanjayia but most of all Fantasia because of all that she had to go through just to get to where she's at now and also 'cause she has a beautiful and unique voice. There are many more but those are only the people that actually made it and did'nt make a joke out of it. My favorite judge is Randy and sometimes Paula. Simon just urks my nerve sometimes and sometimes he can just make you laugh out loud! But other then that hopefully I will start back watching it more this season! Hopefully...

I watch American Idol I really think it’s a good show for people who think they don’t have a chance of becoming the greatest. Look at Vanessa hedges she started American Idol wanting to sing not only is she a singing sensation she’s a movie star. My favorite cast member is Randy because he keeps it real.

I do not watch it; but I know some people go there trying to sing that can't. I heard people talk about it about I have never got into it.I heard that the majority of the people can not sang. They get in embarrassed on national TV and do not live up to their full potential. It is sad how people embarrass themselves; but it is funny to watch.
