Awesome, thanks for this cheat sheet!

You’re welcome. I used to do them in the older threads and was reminded we needed one when Jonny mentioned having to do one. I know he spends a lot of time on his intros, so I wanted to help.

Yaelle, do you find this new American Idol to be a bit off somehow. Am I just too used to the old American Idol?

Well, I think Jonny would agree, the more recent incarnations of Idol were also “off somehow” so nothing surprises me now. Don’t you gentlemen remember (and I know you do) the wars of the Divas with Mariah Carey’s boobs fighting for superior position over Nicki Minaj’s butt cheeks? The growing PC, the silly tricks to keep the show popular (so far pretty unsuccessful)?

I will give the show and the voters one thing. Scotty McCreery is turning out pretty well. I cry every time I hear his song “5 more minutes.” And do you think I cry to the verse about the dying grandpa? No, I’m so weird I cry over the football verse. And I feel stupid in the car wiping away a tear when (believe it or not) I was not a youth football champ.
