American Idol .... again??

So I watched part of the new season of American Idol last night.  Seeing as how this show has been on for the last several years - I find it very hard to believe that there are still SO many disillusioned people out there that actually think that they sing well (or actually well enough to win the contest).  I am all for uniqueness and creativity, but come on people - your friends have been lying to you if they said you were any good.  And sadly enough, I continue to watch to see just how bad it can get.

I will say that at first impression I like the new judge for what ever it is worth (and I know that it's not worth diddley squat).
