STRICTLY FOR FANS OF THE SHOW ONLY

Well I always thought that Nicki Minaj was Valerie Jarrett with a wig. Maybe this confirms it.

Pinging Silent Jonny for the thread.

I’m glad my dawg will be back, and I do admit to liking Harry Connick Jr.

[al baby]

I want Paula back

[rstrahan]

Harry C should call it as it is.

Harry Connick, Jr isn't a household name, the conditions for which that I believe is the secret to maintaining longevity for the show. Connick Jr is will not remain on the show for longer than a year.

The singer that I believe most personifies the sense in which 'American Idol' will continue on the air for many years to come is Vanilla Ice.

I don't have anything against Harry, but I am jealous he has Jill:

Idol needs a villain... someone people can BOO with gusto.

Unfortunately with Simon Cowell gone, they haven’t found one yet.

“Aw, brilliant! Brilliant! I’ve got nipples, that’s great! You could hear me play the music your parents fell in love to, but, instead, I got nipples! Are you done now, man?! Come on!”

[morphing libertarian]

The fourth judge, which is one too many, will be of the negro persuasion

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Thank God for this show. The well of karaoke performers is almost dry.

[Hardastarboard]

Nicki Minaj was Valerie Jarrett Dennis Rodman with a wig.

Corrected your post to my understanding of that "reality".

[Kirkwood]

I didn’t think it was coming back. I gave up on it when Simon left.

It was apparent last season Connick was a contender and I’m so happy he’s an addition. Nothing could be worse than the train wreck last season with the two divas. Jennifer and Harry are known worldwide and I’m looking forward to the new season. That being said, I wish Pauler and Simon would return.

You are kidding...right? Good grief!!! FReepers do not pay attention to this liberal democratic kiddie crap....do they?

[Kirkwood]

I liked the “pants on the ground” singer.

[dfwgator]

About the only good thing that’s come out of that show.

[Dixie Yooper]

Victoria's Secret catalogs used to be interesting, back when she graced the pages.

Oh yes, some of us do. We sometimes need a diversion from BO and his regime tactics. However, anyone who would pay JLo $17 million a year to sit at a desk and look pretty needs their head examined.
