Fly Me With Balloons So I Can Meet Katharine McPhee!! America’s Favorite Series Rockets Back To Your TV!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Everyone I know who watches it, only watches for the first few painful open-call episodes,” says Harry’s wife Yoko, who just turned 22, “and then stops after that.”
I was thinking the same thing. So “American Idol’s” plan, as I understand it, is to cut down on the painful open-call episodes.
We’re also getting a fourth judge, which makes me wonder how ties will be broken.
The show launches its search for the next Studdard-caliber hitmaker tonight.
Bandwidth. Predictions. Reactions.
8 p.m. Tuesday. Fox.

but I'm not embarrassed to admit the show is mostly a snooze fest afterwards.
-
Only worth watching if there's somebody as hot as Katharine McPhee on.
-
A Howard Stern Reference, Nice! Seriously I need to see that stuck up midget flying.
-
Just trying to help drop some knowledge here. According to my newest issue of EW, in the event of a tie, Simon will have final say over whether or not the audition-ee goes to Hollywood. Flawed system? Yes, although I do think they need to shake things up a little.
-
For a minute there, I thought they were finally eliminating the annoying drama caused by Paula complaining about being the odd woman out. Then I read this somewhere, and it turns out they're just doubling the drama, because now Simon gets the final say, which is pissing off both of the girls, so I've heard. This AND cutting out the losery portions? PASS.
-
That Eric the midget stuff was some of the funniest Stern in years. I heard the guy actually works out here where I live. Oh and great idea there American Idol. Cut back on what the audience loves best. Give us more Opiate-addled Paula! More crappy covers of beloved songs, ruining them forever! Give me suspended animation. Wake me when it's all over.
-
sucked last year because everybody complained that Simon was too mean so they toned him down. Also the 4th judge was bought in this year so they could get rid of Paula Abdul next season.
-
they have a big klaxxon and the deciding judge puts it to 'SUDDEN DEATH' and then it's decided by who gets the most votes - it's basically designed to frighten the masses in to voting where they might not before because at the end of the day the judges were making the final decision (this is what happened on the UK's version last autumn).
-
let's turn the pansy american idol talkback into one about america's most hated/beloved midget!!
-
Ack, indeed.
-
He's too busy fucking whores at the Bunny Ranch.

He sang the finale of 'Traviata' to the tune of 'Sweet Dreams' in his Elvis Voice!!!! When he was done he lit up a smoke, pulled down his pants and dropped a great big Cleavland Steamer on Simon's chest! Here's to Bill Brasky!!!!
-
Bwahahahaha...horny ass midget. Seriously, he has already gotten more pussy than I ever have. Who cares that it is from whores. Those are some nice looking whores bro.
-
The ratings for the later episodes are consistently higher than the intro episodes.
-
Say what you will, but Katharine McPhee is my celebrity dream fuck.
-
. . . is back!!! Love that little shit.
-
The Additional judge is being added because it has worked well on the UK version of the show (The X Factor). The fourth Judge just allows more people for Simon to piss off and allows for more judges to gang up on Simon.. It works fine in the UK and I'm sure it will work in the States too (and I apologise for the 'naked' reference in the title - if AICN can do it, so can I!) :)
-
Ack-ack!
-
I guess that's why William Hung's the only person anyone remembers when they talk about this peice of shit show.
-
Seriously who thinks the "music" the "real performers" sing is any good anyway? The 5 minutes of fame losers they find in these cities is the ONLY reason to watch this lame ass show...
-
Well sorta: Weird Al's "Do I Creep You Out?"
-
Yep! It's Disturbing. http://savebabygorilla.com/2009/01/08/eric-the-midget-naked-airfoce-am/
-
they've already announced the plan for tiebreakers. The judges will guess the barituate count in Paula's blood and the closest gets to make the call. "What's your name again?" "Eric the fucking shit head".
-
That whole Sanjiya thing was great. How come McFee never came in? According to FlaFla Flooey, her people agreed for her to come in. Dates must not have worked out in the end.
-
The reason why Katherine never appeared on Howard was because Howard gave Eric Katherine's cell phone number and obsessively called her 50 times a day! She had to change her number as a result of that ungrateful little prick! He should be apologizing to Howard for every time he called him a "big nosed a-hole" now that he's got a in at the Bunny Ranch. Hoff wouldn't use Eric as a doorstop without his connection to the show!
-
This is why the terrorists hate us so much.
-
having Sanjaya on soon. I hope he talks about his hot sister.
-
...news that is decidedly NOT cool. American Idol? Really, AICN? Christ.
-
I love this show. I am so fucking excited. Yes, I also feel shame...
-
oh, how disappointing. When I read the article title, I thought you were mimicking the crazy version of that song that plays at the end of every episode. I'd rather watch that.
-
Thanks to the ridiculous TV Guide channel pre show.
-
I know all that, but even after that her people said she was cool to the idea of coming in.
-
I almost thought they were going to bring Stern back to regular TV, instead of that damned, DirecTV not having OnDemand. Oh well, one can continue to hope.
-
Please wake the fuck up. This show is dung.
-
otherwise known as "Disppointment Television"
-
Just like whenever Eric the Midget calls in. "I want to...Ack! Ack!...buttfuck Katherine McPhee". Never watched AI, never will, just listened to the recaps on Stern.
-
I don't watch this shit, even though I'm always mildly curious about the first few episodes because the only "good" reality telivision is when it's as much of a train wreck as possible. Usually I never get to see these episodes with the crappy singers because I manage to stumble across something else more entertaining... like tonight, maybe my torrented episodes of SUPERJAIL! or some good old disgusting internet porn. Yum!
-
Wow what our grandparents would think of today's tv if they weren't all hopped up on painkillers and ipods.
-
Anyway, Fox is under boycott. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Goddamn that new judge is insanely beautiful!!!!

for the Eric show ... it was Diana DeGarmo. McPhee actually has a career, and didn't need to let that creepy midget take snapshots for his mental spank bank.
-
Most people that I know DON'T watch the audition episodes. They prefer to watch the real singers. And the last few episodes always have MUCH higher ratings than the auditions. Last year's finale was one of the highest rated shows of the year. That doesn't say much for the viewing public, but whatever.
-
Yoko is 22? Isn't Harry like 40 by now? Nice pull, man.
-
I hate that little midget!
-
It makes the whole concept of having judges completely redundant. If they wanted to freshen it up they should have either changed a judge or two, or add two judges to make it an odd number, though that would have made the show unwieldly. They've effective done it anyway by giving Simon what amounts to two votes. Makes no sense. It won't last long, mark my words.
