Morning, Lori. American Idol starts next Tuesday, but it's always the horrendous and ridiculous auditions - I'm not sure when the actual contest begins, but I have read they're having Top 36 this year instead of Top 24, so I'm not sure how that works, time-wise, either.

At any rate, next Tuesday 1-13 and Wednesday 1-14 begins the new season. Who knows though - they may show another diamond in the rough (like Taylor) whose audution will blow us away. :)

Yes, let's hope. It's fun trying to pick the winner from the beginning line up. I had that Irish gal picked for the winner last season, but forgot to factor in "star quality". The longer the show went on, the more it became painfully obvious, she just didn't have it. Now I can't even remember who won. Last season wasn't the best, I don't think.

I'll be tuning in. Heck, I will even watch the auditions. There is not much else on TV this time of year. Although, the new season of "24" is starting this month. One of my all time favorite shows.

Billie, speaking about horrendous and ridiculous auditions, I am sure you have seen this Audition - and Simon Cowell was in a ‘foul mood’. (I’m posting this for those who might have missed it:)
