Nigel Lythgoe who recently returned to American Idol as an Executive Producer after a two year break Tweeted this picture of the two new judges at work with the old one and the original host. I don’t know about you, but I think it is weird to see Randy Jackson sitting at the judges table with Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler and not joined by Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul. It just doesn’t feel the same to me. We shall see in January how the two new judges work out when the show comes back to Fox.
In case you still care, American Idol waited two months to tell us what we already knew…Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson will be judging the show when it comes back for its 10th season in January. For those of you who don’t know who those judges are, Jennifer Lopez also goes by the name J-Lo when she feels like it. She is a singer, actress and a dancer and hasn’t really had a successful hit since American Idol has been on the air. Steven Tyler is Liv Tyler’s dad, I know the dude looks like a lady but he’s a man. He is in a band called Aerosmith, not spelled Arrowsmith as the people who have never heard of him think it is spelled. His band had big hits before most of the people who are auditioning for the show were born. You might have heard his band’s song Dream On being destroyed by the contestants in previous seasons and I hope they continue the trend in front of him. Boy will they be shocked he sang that song. Oh and recently Tyler is known for falling off the stage, I really hope the Idol producers don’t strap him in to his seat cause I would enjoy watching him fall out of it again.
When it comes to them judging, I so think they will suck and I am not sure I am going to find out because why would I want to watch them?
Ryan Seacrest Tweeted the above photo and said, “Training for a new role…happy hour sweat!” I don’t know about you, but when I was in college Happy Hour Sweat equaled Wet T-Shirt contest. So is the American Idol judge so hard up for money that he has to train for wet t-shirt contests or is his rumored relationship with Julianne Hough over and that is how he is going to get a new lover in his life or maybe he is auditioning to be in the crappy Footloose remake with the Dancing with the Stars two-time champion turned country music artist turned actress? Either way, I have no problem with him in a see-thru T-Shirt because he looks mighty fine from the neck down!
First Simon Cowell said he would not be back for season 10 of American Idol, then Ellen Degeneres said she was one season and out and now Kara DioGuardi announced that the third season will not be a charm for her. In a press release sent out by Fox here is what the fourth judge said about her departure, “I felt like I won the lottery when I joined AMERICAN IDOL two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave IDOL,†said DioGuardi. “I am very proud to have been associated with AMERICAN IDOL – it has truly been an amazing experience. I am grateful to FOX, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, as well as the cast, crew and contestants, for all they have given to me. I look forward to my next challenge, and want to thank everyone who has supported me. All the best to everyone on Season 10!â€
Now that Kara is leaving the show, I am actually going to miss her. Believe it or not I wish she was the one staying over Randy Jackson, who is reportedly locked for another season of the Fox reality show.
No word if and who will replace her and the other two judges. But one thing Fox has said about American Idol 10 is that they are adding LA to their audition lineup on September 22nd. So if you want to sing in front of the new set of judges, you have one last opportunity to audition for the chance!
Where is Simon Cowell when you need him? I would love to hear what he would have to say about that duet of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face with Larry King and Ryan Seacrest. I am sure he would tell Ryan that was rubbish and that dogs are howling in pain with the notes he was hitting. And for Larry, he would say that has to be worst singing he has ever heard and he had no idea what the f*ck he was doing there and what song he was singing. I just want to say that just awful. Oy was that bad. I can’t believe how bad of a singer the American Idol host is and when it comes to the soon to be out of work talk show host I always expected him to be bad.
Both men need to keep to their day/night jobs and never ever sing in public again.
