I know the media has been boo-hooing the departure of Simon Cowell and saying that "Idol" is all however dead, however I've really been wanting forward to the present new season. i really like Simon, whereas not question. however you acknowledge what? His presence didn't stop last season from being an entire disaster. The show required a shake up, and it's like that is what it got. i believed tonight's debut was an entertaining, enjoyable audition episode.
There's been countless conflicting reports regarding what changes returning producer Nigel Lythgoe would be implementing with the show's tenth season, however i am personally thrilled that he is gotten rid of these dreadful theme weeks, truncated the endless semi-final rounds, and most significantly, almost about totally revamped the judging panel. We're still stuck with Randy as a results of some asshole signed him to a multi-year contract (talk regarding pissing your cash away...), however Kara and Ellen are blessedly a part of the past.
So how did our new judges do? When Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were initial announced, i believed Lopez was an excellent rent - an honest move for each the show and therefore the flagging pop star - however i used to be but excited regarding Tyler. Rock god, for sure. superb singer. however I didn't see how he created sense for this show, and it frankly simply felt like he was selling out to form a fast buck.
After the premiere, I withdraw all of my reservations. Tyler appeared legitimately engaged at intervals the proceedings, with a keen interest to hunt out, as he place it, a Janis Joplin for this generation. he is longing for nice vocals, and he had some nice comments - insightful, funny, and he didn't twiddling my thumbs when he didn't like one issue. he is quite pervy, notably to the young girls, and he should lay off the puns and limericks. however i used to be terribly impressed by him.
