American Idol goodness

[bee_york]

Fuck YES! American Idol is starting on Tuesday! OMFG YAY YAY YAY!!!!
I know I have at least a couple of fellow American Idol fans on my f-list...who are you? Who's going to be watching?!


(I'm looking for my FELLOW fans. If you're going to comment just to bitch about the show, please spare me the irrelevance and negativity and use your own journal to complain. Thanks!)

Yes! Honestly I stop watching after auditions and the narrowing down to the top 12 then tune back in for the finale unless I really like a contestant but yay for a fellow fan. :D

YES! I figured you were one of them--I have vague recollections of you commenting on a post I made about it last season, but I wasn't sure.

I am of similar attitude in that I'll stop watching in between the top 12 and the finale unless there's someone I really like, but fortunately seasons like that are the exception for me, rather than the majority. :)

I LOVE the auditions, but I always sort of fade out during Hollywood week, unless someone I really love makes it to the semi-finals. I don't think I've watched to the end since Carrie Underwood's season, but I always start out with the best of intentions!

It's hard NOT to watch the auditions! I know a lot of people who hate the show but tell me they'll watch the audition part. It's just a big, beautiful train wreck. A lot of the time I'll think the judges take things WAY too far and I'll feel bad for the contestants, but I lol and watch anyway, so I guess I have no right to bitch about it! ;)

I'm a fan! Auditions all the way to the final two :)

NICE!
I foresee us discussing the show often via LJ then. ;)

[sabatoa.livejournal.com]

Yup! I often post about the night's show.

Me too! That's another reason why I wanted to see who here was an AI fan, since I tend to post about it every Tuesday and/or Wednesday night.

This is a bitchy comment about AI. :D

:P

Did you end up buying the Dharma Initiative special edition/whatever version of season 5? I STILL haven't seen in any in stores but I'm seriously considering just buying it off Amazon. Although it's over $100 that way, soooo...I dunno. :/

I got hooked on auditions two years ago. I swore I'd never do it to myself again, but then Canadian Idol rolled around ... so we're driving across the country over the summer, and every Idol night, I RUN into the hotel room to YouTube the performances, just to keep my hand in. Then January, and I was right back where I'd started.

I get so emotionally involved. So, yes, I'll be there. It's bad for me (I laugh, I cry, I say things I don't mean to the TV), but so's beer and cigarettes and bacon cheeseburgers and I'm not giving those up. I'll be a day behind you, though, because I'll have to wait for the torrents to download.

I really, really, really think you and I should go for a beer sometime in the very near future. :D

[sultrysong.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm right there for that. Maybe Friday or Saturday? I'm a scatterbrain, so I don't actually know whether I have plans for those days (I married my social secretary, and she tends to roll her eyes), but there's always time for beer, right?

[bee-york.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Friday is no good for me, and Saturday I have plans, but what about Sunday or Monday?

[bee-york.livejournal.com]

Wait! Monday's my friend's birthday, that won't work. (DAMN I'm forgetful these days, ugh.)
Sunday is still do-able for me though, IIRC.
