I daresay that Elmo is very possibly THE most annoying character in children’s entertainment today. Do I hear an Amen? There is this most annoying toy that my children love. (Why don’t they ever fall in love with the quiet toys?) It’s a little hand-held “See N Say” toy that sings the Elmo theme song. ...
**UPDATED** Today is one of those nasty gray, cold, rainy/icy days like only eastern PA can dish out. I woke up at 6:45 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up to make the coffee and check email. My son’s school was running on a two-hour delay because there was sleet...
Thanks to my dear husband, I am finally the proud owner of my own domain. Which means. Well, I’m not entirely sure what it means. But you can now access my li’l blog at www.jolynneshane.com. Fun, huh? The hardest part was deciding if I wanted to be .com or .net. I went for .com. My...
The cruelty doesn’t bother me so much, although it probably should, but the tryouts get really old. I am not entertained by the ridiculously horrible contestants. I’m more interested in the ones that are close but don’t get through, and how they determine the great from the good.
Basically I tolerate the tryouts, but when they go to Hollywood I really get into it. FUN!!
Can you believe I didn’t know until this afternoon that it was starting tonight? How in the world have I been that out of it?! I’ll certainly look forward to your recaps.
I like watching the show, but Husband does not. So, I’m stuck watching it in snippets during commercial breaks of other shows. As it happens, he loves The Biggest Loser and it shows at the same time. So, I will be reading your recaps but most of the time won’t know what exactly happened.
Depending on what else is on and how the whole toddler-to-bed routine plays out, we may not start watching until they get to Hollywood (the try-outs aren’t all that exciting to me – some of it just seems so silly and phony) but I am excited to watch once the real contest begins – your recaps actually make it more fun to watch, for me, because I like to think about what you’re going to say the next day. I just wish it were on a little later – Central time makes it tough for us.
Enjoy!
I work in TV. I do the research and estimates for TWO, count them TWO FOX affiliates and for whatever reason, I thought that it started on the 22nd.
I think they should give me a raise…
Thanks for the reminder! I forgot all about it and I love the tryouts! My husband says I could be one of the ones that make it on the tv auditions…do you think he’s saying something about my singing abilities??? 🙂
My whole family is excited!! And I think they are doing it a little different this year, less of the making fun of the not so great singers and more life stories of the contestants and their families, etc.
This makes me very happy, there were actually a couple of times I turned OFF AI because I thought they were being just too cruel!
We get it a few days after you here in the UK, I think, so I will be able to check here for spoilers if I can’t wait.
I’ll be there with bells on! Well, actually I’ll be here with jammies and an old tank top on. Thanks for the reminder!
Oh my gosh! I’ve been thinking about it for two weeks and almost forgot tonight that it’s on. Thanks for the reminder. My boys and I love watching it together.
I had to check out your site because I see you commenting on Stie’s site all the time. I am so glad I did because I had no idea it was starting tonight! With the writers strike I haven’t had my TV on for a couple months so I’m kind of out of it.
Me, me, me! I am excited. I actually really love to watch the crazy auditions – Oh wait! I am watching them as I type! Can’t wait to read your thoughts!
I thought “Let my people gooooo!,” was very funny. Of course, this must be sung in a deep voice with the mouth completely open. 🙂
Looking forward to your thoughts about David Bowie’s sparkly sister!
Oooh, girl! I love me some American Idol! Can’t wait to hear what you thought about the show!
