Idol 9 starts tonight!

i hate the audition shows. i'll just throw that out there to begin with. the stranger or worse the singer, the more air time they get - YIKES!!! some of these people don't need air time, some honesty and therapy would do them a lot better.

OK, that said, i'm looking forward to this season. No Paula, Ellen is on, Simon will be gone...what other changes can they throw at us? I'm hoping they limit the time for the 4 judges - get to your point and move on. we can all see what they are wearing, give them feedback on singing, stage presence, vocal technique...

i'm not sure how much i'll comment on these audition rounds, they are truly torture for me...
