It's ON!
Pundits were were punditing this week that "Idol" is so 2002. WRONG! They couldn't be more wrong. The new season opened with all the emotion and bad humor we fans crave - tears, leers, a judge on perhaps too many beers and Simon's money-minting sneers.
Oh, it was fun. And that was just the first 10 minutes.
"Idol" in 2007 looks like it's going to pack a punch, going by the first-night audition show from Minneapolis, home of Prince, 10,000 lakes and 10,000 off-key, off-kilter crooners in halter tops.
"Idol's" back - something to live for. As pathetic as that sounds.
Idol season premier was on my birthday. I had lots of offers to go out, party, do other things. Guess what I WANTED to do? Sit home and watch the season premier of AI. I know, it's sad, but that's what I REALLY WANTED to do. Am I getting too old?
