"American Idol" Season 8 Starts tonight!


Hello,

Above obviously is the gorgeous Nicole Kidman! Keith Urban you are a lucky man!

To quote Rod Stewart, "tonight's the night", obviously he wasn't singing about "AI" but so what. So tonight is the big night. Definitely check out my friends over at votefortheworst.com. They have a great website, check out their feature on "American Idol" plants. (Including the information that David Osmond flamed out in Hollywood, he's one of their "wilted plants". Thank goodness we don't need another David Archuleta or Sanjaya.) Also votefortheworst.com has a feature on all the crappy songs new judge Kara DioGuardi has written.

I am withholding my opinion on Miss DioGuardi until I watch a couple of episodes of this season. All I can say is that she can't be worse than either Randy "5 phrases" Jackson and Paula "dumb as a rock" Abdul. So let's hope she is a step up. I understand that Simon Cowell is the ultimate tiebreaker.

Unfortunately I won't be able to watch the season premiere live, thank goodness for the DVR. I will be watching tonight's episode tomorrow. I do have tomorrow off so I will be able to see tomorrow night's episode when it shows normally. Remember starting tomorrow to read Michael Slezak's snarky commentary over at ew.com. It is usually available early in the morning the day after the actual episode. He is very funny and knowledgeable not that I always agree with him. For instance, I did not think David Archuleta's "Imagine" was amazing. I thought it was just another one of his many boring performances.

Only one week from today until we finally get a new President, thank goodness. President Bush has been trying to explain all his bad decisions away. Sorry George, it doesn't work that way. You are the worst President in modern history, so trying to explain away will not lessen any of your mistakes. Your first mistake was surrounding yourself with terrible people like Dick (a very apt first name) Cheney and Karl Rove. That decision led to the idiocy of that Mission Accomplished picture. President Bush please be quiet and fade away gracefully. You can do that at least. Maybe later you can get some small redemption as an elder statesman. Maybe.

W. is the first person in a new feature of mine: people that need to go away. George W. Bush please go away. Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and any of the other crooks who surrounded Bush go away please. The less we see and hear from you the better.

Okay back to the music: Video of the day: "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood. This was much better than any video that came out in 2008. According to the 2008 CMT Top 20 Video Countdown, this was a very weak year for country music. (More on that later.)

For those of you that can watch it tonight, enjoy "American Idol". For those of you who don't like "AI" there are a lot of great books out there. I will be back tomorrow with my initial observations of the season premiere and Kara DioGuardia. Have a great day, themusicaddict
