Anyone else watching the American Idol train wreck? :giggle

Nicki Minaj is kind of a freak and Mariah Carey acts like she's looking down on everyone. I still can't stop watching, though. My favorite part of the season is after the final 12 are chosen, and we see them sing every week.
 
We have definitely had some giggles. Nicki just drives me insane....Keith is pleasant to look at though!!!
 
LOL we used to watch Idol every season, last year we didn't make it through the audition episodes even. This year we didn't even try.

See, now I wasn't planning to watch this year either, but I just can't quite turn it off. It's been a part of my TV life for so long, I don't know how to not watch. ;) At least watching via DVR lets me fast forward through all the extraneous stuff.
 
I won't watch this year. I think they hit a new low hiring Nicki Minaj. I think Mariah is a great singer, but I can see her being Diva-ish and thinking no one is as good as her. I like Keith Urban, if they'd had 2 other judges, I'd have watched. I really think that show is just done. It'd gotten boring anyway.
 
I wasn't planning on watching either but I have tuned in so far because nothing else has been on that I want to watch...but I don't know how much longer I will watch. I really think it should have ended last year.

Mariah and Keith actually surprised me and gave some of the best feedback from any judge in a few years. Randy you can tell he is just over it, he really should have not come back. Nicki is just nuts and I really think they brought her in for the drama to try and bring ratings up.
 
I've been watching on catch up tv! Over here in the UK, I've had a good few giggles and also find Nicki a bit OTT but I love these shows
 
I tried really hard to watch the first episode but turned it off after the first commercial break. My feeling is that they are trying to boost the ratings because The Voice is kicking AI's ratings butt, I could be wrong but that is my thought. I don't care for either Miss Carey or Nikki but then again I occasionally listen to Barry Manilow, Harry Connick Jr. and Neil Diamond so who am I to judge.
 
I am. I kind of hate the beginning episodes, they are boring to me and Nikki drives me nuts. I watch the DVR and fast forward through pretty much all of it except the actually auditions.
 
not watching this year. i usually don't make it all the way through a season anyway... i just never get that invested and i don't have all that much time to spend watching tv i don't really care about. i did try to watch one episode this year, but could only take about 5 minutes. that was enough.
 
I couldn't handle Mariah or Nikki, which is really too bad. Keith Urban is so fun to look at. I get too sucked into AI and then I can't get anything else done in my life! Especially at first when there's like 6 hours of episodes on each week. Ain't nobody got time for that!
 
I'm the oddball because I find Nikki Minaj entertaining, but only to a certain extent, and only if I don't look at her. The airbrushed, plastic look that her face has creeps me straight out.

I usually skip the audition shows because they dwell on the weirdos and don't show the great singers, but this year I've turned it on in my office while working and that's probably the only reason I've been able to endure it. The one time I did sit and watch one on the TiVo I found myself fast forwarding through most of the judges commentary.

I like Hollywood week when you start to learn more about the kids, and I like the live show - but last year's was boring because the juges just said everyone was great all the time.
 
I'm with Peppermint...I'm kind of enjoying Nikki and find her mildly entertaining.

I have never heard Keith Urban sing, but I could look at him and listen to him talk ALL DAY LONG!

*is it getting hot in here*?
 
I'm actually liking Nikki more than Maria so far. Maria is acting like a diva, and she seriously needs to stop petting herself.
 
I'm hoping these judges only last a year. They're making me miss JLo. . . Something I never imagined myself saying. LOL
