Fox finally announced who will be judging the new season of the
American Idol, and their “Dream Team” is Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. If this was 2000 those names would be a dream, but in 2014 it’s a snoozefest. I mean do the people who are auditioning for the show even know who Harry is and can they even name any of his songs? The only thing they probably know about him is that he was on a Friends episode that they saw in syndication, other than that they are clueless to who is.
Not only are the judges all in their mid-40s (J-Lo is 44 and the two men are 45), the ageing singing competition is showing its age by switching to Roman Numerals. So this year American Idol 13 will be known as American Idol XIII. Are kids today even taught Roman Numerals anymore? If Fox thinks that they are going to get Super Bowl numbers just by switching their numbers to letters than they are greatly mistaken because those musicians are as old as the Romans themselves.
If Fox sincerely thinks that this will be Idol’s great renascence then they are stuck in the times of Roman Empire.
UPDATE: Even
Keith Urban doesn’t know who is co-judge is as witnessed in this Tweet.
