Last night I watched this seasons first episode of American Idol, excited to see how the show was going to turn out with the new line up of judges. With only Randy Jackson left from the original panel, I was wondering if this was going to be the beginning of the end of this show now in its 10th season. At the end of last season, we saw Simon, Carla AND Ellen depart. Last night Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler ( from Aerosmith) joined Randy Jackson, and I thought the show was fantastic! I am a Steven Tyler fan, and was curious what he was going to bring to the table. He was very funny, and his "Rock God" influences are sure to be a positive thing on this show...which can sometimes be a bit "apple pie-ish"! Loved his paint chip comment!
J LO was gorgeous, and also very sweet... and at the beginning was having a hard time saying "NO", not wanting to dash the dreams of the tender young contestants. Randy is still the DAWG! Ok, so American Idol has hooked me in for another season...from this first episode it seemed like it will be a success. Lets hope we can get some wonderful contestants, like Crystal Bowersox from last year....she should have won.

I missed it last night. I was in bed with the flu. But I think I will still miss Simon! :(

I have to admit...I watched it too. I was pleasantly surprised too. It seems that they lucked out with the right mix of personalities- Randy with his experience can cut to the chase, Steven Tyler gives a bit of comic relief, and J Lo with the nurturing role, and all of them representing a different genre of music/ industry knowledge. I think it's a very well rounded table.
I didn't watch it, but I saw clips and he looks like he is HILARIOUS! I love snappy comments like his. I hope the general audience is ready for him.
Sincerely think this is a GREAT addition and improvement. Tyler is witty and spot on J-Lo is surprising good and real. Steven is a rock legend and adds a new spice to the show. J-Lo was great and knows the pain of struggling performers. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
