Despite the sob stories, I really enjoyed the show. We didn't have to deal with the pointless joke contestants. I also really like all the mentors surprisingly. This show is way more entertaining than AI

The best way to watch this show is still to DVR it and fast-forward through all the filler.

How unfortunate for him.

I wouldn't be able to leave the house after two debacles like The New Partridge Family and Hannah Montana.

What's amusing is that they mention Adam L. won but I don't think I've heard who he won with or the fact that the runner up is doing just as good or better in sales. And neither is doing even close to the sales of who ever won Idol last year.

IKR? Everytime that douche Adam spouts about how he won last year I hope the other judge points out that the winner was a massive flop. You know NBC would never allow them to mention that though.

Quote "yojipoop":

Anyone else's Gaydar going off?

Yes.

My first thought was "Wow, all this and Yale too," followed by PING PING, followed by the realization that he looks like a straight boy from the early '90s (when I was his age), which threw me off momentarily.

I saw Vicci Martinez and Ceelo on the Tonight Show yesterday. She has a new song that she sang with him. It was decent.

Even though, I didn't care for the winner too much, it reminded me that last year had some people I really enjoyed - Nakia, Beverly, and of course Xenia!

Well, is anyone else watching tonight?

I am. Haven't seen any of the previous shows. I am guessing this first contestant is "WLWG"?

The angry WLWG thing is so 1994.

But I like her 1000x more than any other "XXWG" we've seen on AI

You will notice, this show is NOTHING like AI in that department. People are allowed to be openly gay on this show.

WGWG!!

Oh wait...boobs. nvrm.

She didn't seem so angry. The Indigo Girls aren't angry.

I watched last season. That was awesome - until the end.

ETA: If Betty Boop and Porky Pig had a child.

I want to see her and Christina fight over the last slice of pizza.

Ahhh ok I voted Beverly all the way til the end last season. Javier had a nice voice, but he was nothing we'd not seen before.

IBW + 100lbs +15yrs= That last contestant

ETA: WHITE CARLTON BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's only 19. In 15 years she'll be in her sparkle-cow prime.

I was wondering if Gladys Knight was there when I saw his name.

Honestly, I really don't think White Carlton Banks was all that great to have all 4 judges turning around.

LMFAO "Pip". Are his 3 best friends Hobbits?

Oh, noes. "Pip" is from Kennesaw, GA (just north of Atlanta) and will be interviewed on the local news tonight.

And they are also showing an interview with Javier on his tour bus.
