American Idol Fan Club

[jenny]

I think they're about to see the demise of the show. I have been a hardcore fan from the start, but I think the real key to the success of the show was the chemistry between the three original judges. Of course we love to see the kids sing and marvel at the talent that's out there. But mixing in Kara and Ellen made it very clear to me that listening to the judges and their opinions really makes or breaks the show. I love Ellen (LOVE!!!), but sometimes, her insipid observations made me want to throw my Skinny Cow at the television. I don't think we'll get those types of zzzzzzzz comments from J-Lo or Steve, but I don't know, either, that I'll be particularly interested in what either one of them has to see.

Kara-a not so well known to the public, but known in the industry, fabulously talented song writer, sometimes wishy washy criticisms

Ellen-an extremely popular daytime host/comedienne/persona, positive feedback

Jennifer-former dancer on In Living Color, singer/song writer/actress/producer, critique style unknown but most likely she'll be Paula and Kara wrapped into one Latina bundle

Steve-has had great stamina with Aerosmith since 1970, known as a flamboyant musician with a bass-like mouth Criticque style is unknown, but I can't see him as being too harsh. He might ramble on like Paula though, after the decades of typical rockstar living he's done. His daughters are beautiful though. Thank goodness models like rockstars, eh?
