Oh America, it’s that time again.  Turn on Fox and turn down the volume, because season seven of American Idol should prove to be no less annoying enjoyable than the first six.  Although, these goof balls who come out to audition can still make my jaw drop and a chuckle or two come out.  Seriously though…SERIOUSLY.  I know that these networks need the ratings but come on people!  How could you go back to your day job after being humiliated on national television?  I realize for some of you, it’s a big joke amongst your friends and family to make it on the show and act like a complete dork but for those of you who really cannot hold a tune?  What gives?  I also wonder if Simon will come up with some new, witty degrading comments for the auditions this season?

Ahhh, anyway.  I’ll be watching Idol on a weekly basis.  Tonight, the first night, there were definitely some promising hopefuls.  I’ll look forward to seeing and hearing them again in Hollywood.  I think I did a pretty good job last season of picking out the contestants who I thought would go far.  Let’s see if I’ve still got the knack this season.  Should be an adventure!
