"American Idol" expert Jim Cantiello goes through the first show of the season point by point. (1.13.10)
Jim, Thanks for your comments about the season premier of American Idol. Now, I have to tell you that I do agree with alot of your views on the show. By the end of the show, I kinda forgot Paula wasn't there. It was almost as if she just had the day off and I'll be seeing here next week. Time will tell about the influence she has on the show, or, am I patiently waiting for the arrival of Ellen. The sob stories started becoming too much and it seems they were trying to pull at my strings and tried to make me have an emotional response to people I don't know. This is sopposed to be a fun, family show, not a tear jerker like Home Makeover. Come on, make me laugh.
