OK, I admit it I am watching American Idol this season and it is all Steven Tyler's fault! When I heard he was going to be one of the new judges this season I just had to watch and now I am hooked. He makes me laugh, he makes me say "HUH?" and he is often inappropriate but he has made American Idol entertaining to me and my friends, it no longer feels like it is only geared towards 15 year old girls. I am even impressed with some of the original talent they have found, people who don't sound like every other artist pounded out over and over again on local radio stations everywhere.
Contestants like Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald and Naima Adedapo..completely original and bringing back different genres of music and making them current. This season is definitely not just country and pop stars like in the past, I'm sure my favorites probably won't last long or even make it to the top ten because unfortunately I'm sure the fate of the contestants on the show still lies in the hands of those who really bother to pick up the phone and call or text in a vote and that would be the 15 year old girls.
So Kudos to American Idol to bringing on Steven this season and Jennifer Lopez isn't bad either and good luck to my fav's on the show, I vote and I hope my vote does count.
I don't really watch the show, so I'm not sure what the genres of music are which are new to the show. Didn't they have a gospel singing guy win a few years ago?
