I do agree! The last few years I definitely lost interest. But darn, Steven Tyler - although not the prettiest man in the world, is an awesome addition! I watch the show just to watch him, and I love his singing voice! Jennifer Lopez's demeanor reminds me of Paula Abdul, but she seems like a good fit too.
I was rooting for that kid Scottie, the 16 year old with the really deep country voice, but he didn't do so good during the group songs. There are so many, many talented singers. Last night the guy with the bass singing 'Georgia' was really (I mean really) good, and the other guy with the really deep voice - but man he can hit high notes.
The show looks like it's really shaping up to be a fantastic show this year!!!
