Who's watching?

Probably not me. I have tuned in early, to see how bad people can be, but that gets old.


I though Jordin Sparks was a cutie, and her dad playing for the Giants back in the day I still sort of cared, I kind of hoped she won, even though I couldn't be bothered to watch, but I haven't heard any of her music out there.


Maybe I'll tune in if there are new rumors of Paula drinking heavily...

Last season was kind of a joke, but I still love the show. It's the only show outside of MythBusters worth watching that's still making new episodes.

I probably will watch it, but the early auditions really get on my nerves!!! I might switch back and forth to other stuff if there is anything else worth watching.

I'll probably watch and switch back and forth too. I'm an avid watcher toward the end of the season.

I only watch the early auditions and then stop watching the show after those are done.

That's probably what I'm going to do this year. Last year I watched every single episode from start to finish, and felt like I wasted so much time. Not doing that again.

Last year was the first year I watched. It was so hard to keep up... it seemed like it was always on! I don't have time to watch that much TV... hard to imagine trying to do that again. I enjoyed the show though. If I start watching, I'll want to keep watching. hmmm... not sure what to do. lol


Edit: Btw, Ed... Jordin does have a CD and I've heard her on the radio. I also saw her singing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Last year was probably the worst season, so you may like it better this season.

I don't have anything on Tuesdays against it, but Wednesdays is very crowded. Power of 10 and Wife Swap(Big Brother premieres next month :D).

I'll wait a couple weeks. I don't like the early auditions. I usually wait until the final 16 is chosen before watching.

I agree, the top twenty-four is when it gets interesting, but it's sacreligious to watch American Idol and not watch the auditions.

Tonight at 8.

Some of the losers couldn't keep their mouth shout and at least leave with their dignity. Princess Leah, please, grow up, that was widely popular longtime ago.
