First thoughts on new judges

ok, so i haven't posted anything since the start of the show last week. the main reason for this was, i was still trying to wrap my head around the new judges and honestly, i didn't know what to think at first.

JLO came out just as i thought she would, very sweet and lil wet around the ears as far as "judging" someone elses talent. but since that very first show, i'de say she's getting a lot more comfortable with the position and in fact, i think she's doin great! her facial expressions during those not so good auditions are pretty funny to watch.

Steven, oh Steven! before i get into him lemme start with-i'm a huge aerosmith fan! loved them forever! seen them in concert a few times-just amazing! ok, so with that bein said, at first i thought Steven was annoying on the show lol no really, he kept singing over the contestants and making random noises. then, i thought "he's a dirty ole man" lol he was forever "checking out" the young girls. Ew! nasty, nasty! but then he also had some funny moments that had me bustin up w/ laughter! so i was very much on the fence about Steven. Last night, however, I've made up my mind-I love him! i think he's exactly what the judging panel needed! he funny, truthful, careful of hurting someone, just all around fun loving!

Randy, he's still just randy, but he seems to have taken a few pointers from Simon. for example on last nights show he told a contestant "you weren't serious. that was terrible!" and "what kind of joke is this" Normally that line would have been reserved for Simon lol But even though he has become a lil more stern (or maybe fed up) w/ the contestants-i still see that "dawg" in him and can't help but bust out laughing when i see him laugh at someone :-p

All in all, I think this revamp of American Idol is exactly what this show needed. Last season was so sleepy and almost predictable. i don't think they would have lasted more than 1 maybe 2 more seasons like that before everyone lost interest. but steven and jennifer who i strongly believe breathed life into this sinking ship and the new producer (forgot his name) all around was an awesome choice and i'm looking forward to the coming weeks!
