One of my favorite things about this time of year is the beginning of a new season of American Idol. While I'm not as crazy about all the horrible singers that they like to show during the audition process, the show has become one of my favorites and I look forward to discovering the new talent every year.
This year my favorite person so far has actually not been a contestant, but a judge. New judge, Kara DioGuardi, has the musical history to be completely relevant to the show - all while being a welcome change to the lineup of the show. I love Simon, Randy, and Paula, but it's nice to see a new face who also knows what she's talking about when she's critiquing a possible contestant.
So far they've let some people through to Hollywood that I definitely would not have, but I'm excited to see what next week brings us as we get to see what all the contestants can do now that they've made it to Hollywood.
Here's hoping for the next Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson.
