American Idol

The first time I watched this program ever was last week and I got hooked. They are traveling to different cities and auditioning people for AI. I can't believe how rude that Randy is when obviously a person does not have talent. I believe he doesn' have to be so mean and hurtful when he tells someone that they can't sing. Paula Abudul is more gentler and so is the black guy.

Simon is the rude one and Randy is the other one.

I'm addicted to Idol too Kay. That Simon is sooooo rude. But I have to say that Randy is getting moreso as well. And what is up with Paula? She acts so goofy.

Thanks for clearing that up with me.

I watched a couple of the episodes this year but I just couldn't stand an hour of watching Simon being a monster. He is just too rude and vile for words. I will start watching again when the actual competion starts, I enjoy the show after all the auditioning is completed and the finalist start performing.

My family is nuts over AMerican Idol. We love all kinds of music and absolutely love the show. It is entertaining for us. I think Simon is absolutely a hunk, and although, he is at times harsh, he tells the truth. That is why his opinion matters so much to the contestants., they know he is usualy right. Paula, is just a weirdo IMO. Randy, I like him too. Love this show.

I don't feel sorry for the people they make fun of at all. The people who are truly awful know it and are just doing it to be on TV. They've seen the show before, and know that they're going to be made fun of. If you're willing to humiliate yourself to be on TV, so be it.

I so TOTALLY agree. They know exactly what they are up against after all it's bee 5 seasons and Simon hasn't changed his stripes.

I do love this show and love to watch the auditions... they are hilarious

Simon is the main reason I watch, well him and the fact that Birmingham AL has had 2 Idols and 1 first runner up. Not bad stats for going into season 6.

I love AI, I DVR and watch it when I get a chance. We watched Wed. episode last night....I loved the old man that sang "You Belong To Me" and was happy to see Simon be nice to someone like that. I can't wait for the actully competion to start up. I've been exercising my dialing finger...lol

He made me tear up. What a sweet man he was. I think his name was Sherman?

I can't wait until they get to Hollywood either! I want to see the good people!
