I'm still a Simon/Paular fan myself....even though Simon seems to have been domesticated (for now).
I wonder if I'm the only one that got a total kick out of Steven Tyler? I thought he was hysterical until they muted his potty mouth.......
We’ll be there with bells on! Well minus the bells ;’)
Thanks silent_jonny,May it not be as painful as last year.:)
Thanks for the post. Hope you are well.....
Say whaaaa? Idol started up?? Omg, I’m so happy to see you, Mister Jonny!! I shall have to watch yesterday’s show tonight along with tonight’s show and do a thread catch up.
Hope everyone has started the year well, but if you haven’t, like us, I hope it’s looking up from here. My husband’s 93 year old father passed at Christmas, and I was here with the kids while he went to the funeral back east. The day after he got back, he came down with what could only be the flu - influenza. Maybe h1n1, we will never know. But it’s a bad one. Sadly on the same day his 91 year old mom back east got it too. And it put her in the hospital by day 2. It was very touch and go with her but it seems she will make it. The day after, our teen son got it, then the older one, then the baby and I, and finally our elementary school boy. It felled us all. Some had flu shots and some did not. I had a very high blood level of vitamin d (99!) which did not protect me. Been sick a week and only 75% better! no strength. So 2014 can only get better for us!
Thanks for the invite. I was one of the few who liked JLo around here, so I am interested to see how this panel works.
I sure wished you all had made an X factor thread though I watched pretty much the whole season in about 3 weeks. One eppy a night. There was some MAD talent and the couple who won were so adorable some of you would have fallen for them like I did. (Did anyone besides me watch?). And Simon has already changed. He was absolutely delightful. Yes, Simon Cowell. When he got a bit snarky, miss lavato kept him in line. I never saw the man smile so much.
The head of FOX Sports has also taken over the production, so it should be faster paced. Unless they have to repeatedly check the singers for concussions like during a football game.
Lol!! You mean the judges, after some of their comments, right?
Nice article, thanks. I’m looking forward to watching it. Wish they showed it at east coast time here.
I loved Simon and Pauler, and Tyler too. He was hilarious. Such a character. But hey — I even love the Dawg. Looking forward to his week.
Have you heard the news? Obama has decided that it's "unfair" that people on the west coast get to watch programs THREE hours after those on the east coast see them. So, he's issuing an executive order to require that 50% of all shows be shown first on the west coast, then three hours later, on the east coast.
I watched some of the X Factor, too. I did notice how nice Simon was. I loved watching the smile spread across his face as he realized the contestant/s in front of him had real talent!
Well then, he’s putting his pen to good use.... or maybe he used his phone on this!
Thanks, Jonny!
I gotta say, I have NO idea who these people are!!
Ed
PS...You're getting by far the better of the deal..
Hah hah...true!!
Ed
P.S. Actually, I know who Harry Connick, jr., is...and I like his music.
(((Jonny!)))
Such a joy to see your *pings*.
I will check back with y’all when it’s GO time! I am so glad they ditched the Ho. I remember when we were discussing that Harry would be a good judge. I think the Idol people stole the idea from us. We are THAT good. ;^)
**Waving to everyone** Good to see all y’all!
I wonder if I'm the only one that got a total kick out of Steven Tyler?
I liked him too. He was surprisingly sharp and funny. I think if he'd had his choice he'd still be a judge.
May it not be as painful as last year.:)
Amen :) But I think this will work out pretty well--at least the judge part of it. Who knows how the other "retooling" will go.
Hi, Fawn :) Hope all is well with you too.
But I'm sorry you and your family have been sick. Also very sorry about your father in law. Prayers for your MIL and all of your recoveries. Rest and get well!
And check in here when you feel up to it :)
LOL--I shouldn't laugh. That's sounds like something stupid and he would decree.
