Idol Season

“Everything we do, we do biiiiggg!!” –Idol hopeful (oh but see, everything’s bigger in Texas!)
American Idol Season 11’s two-night premiere continous and Thursday’s episode showed the audition at the second-largest city in Pennsylvania– Pittsburgh at the Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Have the Idol producers, after eleven years, finally listened to their critics? This is the first episode in the history of American Idol where they didn’t show the ridiculous, delusional crazies. Instead, they showed auditioners who were borderline, could possibly improve, come-back-next-year, idol hopefuls. Sure, the judges still turned down people but they got rid of the jokesters and nuisance auditions out of the episode. Was it better? Absolutely!!

Now, we can almost hear it- the very critics who lambast them by showing the crazies are going to be the first ones complaining that the show is now boring!! Well, it’s NOT boring. For once, Idol producers are showing more talents than giving 5-minute of fame to the people who clearly do not have the talent!

Nonetheless, we feel they’re testing the waters here. Since this is only an hour-long audition, they figured it best not to rob us from seeing the talents in the Steel City. So none of the jokes and more of the talents. Still out of the 38 who made it to this stop, they only introduced us to 9 people going to the next round. Perhaps next week, at the San Diego stop– they WILL show us the crazies & less of the talents!
