American Idol's Final 12 Men's Excellent Start to the "Live" Shows

In the picture are 11 of the final 12 men/boys on American Idol. I believe Casey Abrams is missing from the photo due to being ill.

Casey Abrams may have been ill prior to last night's show, but he'd obviously recovered by the time he performed last, last night. Last, and best of the night.

I'd forgotten American Idol was on last night. Turned on my TV expecting to watch Glee.

I did not realize til this morning that what I was watching was not a live American Idol show. It was pre-taped in front of a live audience.

Every aspect of American Idol, to me, seems slicked up and made more glitzy. Hollywood Week had much more elaborate stages and sets than previous American Idol seasons.

And then, last night, we got our first look at the new American Idol stage. This may be the most glitzy TV stage in the world.

If I am understanding correctly voters eliminate 7 of the 12. Then the judges pick one of the rejectees. I think that is how it works.

Of the 12 I liked Casey Abrams best.

The judges swooned over Jacob Lusk. I didn't.

 Paul McDonald I like, except for the beard and the blinding white smile.

Scotty McCreery seemed years older than his 17. He did very well.

Robbie Rosen seems like a nice kid.

James Durbin, the kid with the tail and the tales of woe, he really knocked out a rocking version of Judas Priest's "You Got Another Thing Coming." I like him. But he needs to lose the tail.

Brett Loewenstern sang the Jim Morrison classic "Light My Fire." It did not like mine. Don't care for this kid and his overly mannered style. And that bush of copper curls really needs to go.

Tim Halperin, I think, got the most negativity from the judges. He didn't seem all that bad to me.

Jordan Dorsey also got a lot of judge negativity for his Usher "OMG" choice. I liked that song and I like this guy's way of singing it.

Jovany Barreto  has a cool name. Other than the name nothing much impressed me.

The first up of the night was the little Harry Potter lookalike with the odd name of Clint Jun Gamboa. He sang Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." I have heard that song way too many times. The judges thought his rendition was brilliant.

I don't remember ever watching American Idol at this stage when the fast forward button did not get heavy use. Last night I made no use of the fast forward button.

Methinks American Idol has actually found some really good talent this year. And is well rid of Simon Cowell.

American Idol Season 10 With Steven Tyler & Jennifer Lopez Off to a Good Start

I had been of the opinion that American Idol jumped the shark when Paula Abdul left, replaced by Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi. The departure of Simon Cowell seemed to me to be the final straw in the American Idol coffin.

But.

I think I was wrong. Wednesday night's first episode of the new season of American Idol really seemed like a new and improved version.

And getting rid of, what had started to seem to me, the repetitively, evermore less amusing, Simon Cowell, seems to have been a healthy change.

Sort of like getting rid of a tumor you did not realize was cancerous.

Last year, or was it the year before, American Idol hype said it would be a kinder, gentler American Idol, reflective of the tough economic times. But, I really did not notice much difference. A lot of the same making fun of unfortunate, clueless souls was still very much an element.

Last night there really was none of that old American Idol style meanness. The goofy, talentless auditioners who did appear were treated respectfully and pretty much gently. My favorite of those was the totally clueless Boy Scout.

Right from the very first audition there was a big difference, with Steven Tyler sort of singing along. It was like both he and Jennifer Lopez were more humanely, honestly connected to those trying out than Simon Cowell ever came close to being.

All in all, the new American Idol just has a way more positive feel to it. At least so far.

And I like the enhanced back stories. The daughter of a cancer survivor, a new American from Kosovo, a 16 year old kid who spent time in a homeless shelter. I think my favorite may have been the Singing Waitress.

Both Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez surprised me. Tyler due to how funny he is. Lopez due to how honestly nice she seemed. The poor lady was devastated the first time she knew she had to say no to someone. As auditions continued saying no did not get much easier, with Jennifer at one point saying, "Oh, my God, I hate this! Why did I sign up for this? I want to go home."

American Idol seemed to find some interesting singers in New Jersey. I've pretty much gone from figuring I'd be bailing on American Idol, to now I am solidly in for the duration.

A very pleasant surprise.

And one more thing. Randy Jackson appears to have lost a lot of weight and I thought he came across way better with his new judge partners.

Take That Do Simon Cowell's Private NYE Gig

Both the Daily Mail and the Sun published these classy pics of Take That‚ sans Robbie Williams (who was allegedly in L.A. with his wife for "a family get-together") performing a 35-minute set at Simon Cowell's New Year's Eve party in Barbados.

The That apparently didn't get paid anything for their crooning services, but were given an all-expenses-paid week in the island nation with their families. Plus, added bonus—Howard Donald stripped off his shirt for the paparazzi.

Reportedly both Rihanna and Sinitta were among the 350 partygoers—and if she knew what was good for her, RiRi would have taken off her wig and bowed down to Sinitta, because we know who the real star is there.

Sigh. Only seven-and-a-half months till I see these fuckers live in Milan.

So, There's This Rumor That Shayne Ward May Be Dropped By Simon Cowell :(

I'd take this with a grain of salt, as the original source is apparently News Of The World, but Digital Spy published info and quotes yesterday hinting that if Shayne Ward's next single—apparently the title track from his third album Obsession—doesn't perform well, he'll get the axe from Simon Cowell's SyCo roster.

Well, at least I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Then again, if Shayne isn't bogged down with silly things like recording music, maybe he can spend more time doing photo shoots like the one above (for the December issue of UK Cosmopolitan).

Anyway, says "a source":

"Shayne is finished at SyCo. Simon has tried his best to turn him into a star but it simply hasn't worked. He gave Shayne one more chance after ending his working relationship with Louis but his music hasn't connected with the public.

"The chances of him being a popstar again are incredibly low. It's a huge personal blow to Shayne. For a long time people thought he'd become the next Robbie Williams. But the music industry is ruthless and he is costing the company a lot of money at the moment."

"Shayne is also quite arrogant about his music [and] isn't the easiest person to work with. He will be quietly let go next year and the focus will turn to the new crop of X Factor contestants."

Strange. Shayne hardly comes across as arrogant or difficult to work with. In fact, at times he seemed to be very publicly bending over backwards (and, sadly, not the other way around) to get this album out there.

That said, Obsession peaked at #15 on the UK chart, while first single "Gotta Be Somebody" squeaked in at #12. Time will tell—but wouldn't you much rather watch Shayne Ward singing at you than Matt Cardle?

Maybe it's all stemming from comments Shayne supposedly made about recent X Factor contestants One Direction lip sycing? I will say this, though—I ordered Obsession from Amazon UK four weeks ago, and the damn thing never arrived. Bad omen?

American Idol Season 10 Lowers Audition Age

American Idol's Season 10 auditions start July 17. I don't think Simon Cowell has been replaced yet.

If there were a place to place a bet, I'd place a bet that this is the year when American Idol falls from its #1 top-rated TV show position.

Yesterday it was announced that American Idol is lowering the audition age by one year, so now singer wannabes who are between 15 and 28 are eligible.

15 years old? This does not seem like a good idea to me.

Now, I would have some hope for the survival of American Idol, after Season 9's total lacklusterness, if yesterday it was announced that Harry Connick Jr. was replacing Simon Cowell, that Paula Abdul was returning, and that Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres had been booted.

If you are between 15 and 28 and think you can warble like Carrie Underwood and Lee DeWyze go to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Saturday, July 17, Bradley Center in Milwaukee on Wednesday, July 21, an undisclosed location in New Orleans on Monday, July 26, IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Tuesday, August 3, Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas on Wednesday, August 11 and AT & T Park in San Francisco on Thursday, August 19.

I think I'll audition for American Idol this year. Austin is a short drive from my current location. I'm sure I can pass for 28. Do they ask to see I.D.? What I.D. would a 15 year old have?

American Idol: A Lot of People Really Don't Like Kara DioGuardi

A couple days ago I blogged that I thought American Idol had Jumped the Shark. I opined that adding Kara DioGuardi to American Idol was the main Shark Jumper.

Reading through various Internet TV Forums there seems to be fairly universal revulsion at Ms. DioGuardi and her various behaviors.

As in her manner of speaking, the inane things she says, the bizarre flirting with Simon Cowell and a lot more.

So, for amusement's sake I thought I'd copy and paste a collection of TV Forum comments.....
---------------------------------------------------------
According to the behind the scenes recap at Entertainment Weekly, the Mike save was pretty much at Kara's absolute insistence. Figures.
---------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, her jumping up and down after the save, slapping high fives into the air (and with whomever she could hit) and generally acting like she'd single-handedly just cured cancer was beyond disgusting. The ego has been particularly unchecked since Casey was forced to refer to her as a "superstar" a few weeks back, but now the bitch has apparently convinced herself she invented fire.
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't hate her, but her antics are so Over The Top that it has become somewhat of a joke when I watch. I DID get pissed at her for telling Tim Urban not to smile, and I got even more pissed when Andrew sang a song about dancing while sitting down and she didn't call him out on it, but when he sang a song about war without a gun or tank she made a huge deal about it.
---------------------------------------------------------
She is to consumed with being fabulous and a legend in her own mind to speak coherently or in a way that is direct and not talking down to them.
---------------------------------------------------------
The sad thing is that she thinks that she's more talented, and a better singer, than everyone else. I bet she sits there thinking that she would have easily won American Idol if she was a contestant.
---------------------------------------------------------
She's as rabid mad as Paula, but without the drugs, which makes her more pathetic.
---------------------------------------------------------
I blame the crash and burn of Idol these past two seasons on Kara personally. You had AI7 which was awesome and then Kara comes in and AI8 was pretty crappy and then Paula leaves and Kara remains and it becomes borderline unbearable.
---------------------------------------------------------
Who knew a drunk like Paula was such a godsend.
---------------------------------------------------------
Get ready for some music history from Kara on the artistry of the Beatles and how to interpret/emote their songs.
---------------------------------------------------------
Without Kara, we wouldn't know who is being true to themselves as an artist.
---------------------------------------------------------
She was climbing Simon like a damn tree again last night! The director even tries to tighten up the shot to keep her out of Simon's frame...but those bony appendages always come creeping in. So DISTRACTING.
---------------------------------------------------------
Seriously, what's her obsession with groping Simon? Why don't they have her sit next to Randy or make her grope Ellen.
---------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that. She also peers at him with such intensity, barely two inches from his face, that it sets him aback for a second or two while he's commenting. Those are the actions of a crazy person, a for real crazy person. Maybe that's the answer. Kara has a secret battle with mania that is only partially controlled.
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't think Kara has been as bad this season, but I would have given her a shove or a slap by now if she was into my personal space all the time like she is with Simon. I seriously hate that.
---------------------------------------------------------
The sole saving grace of Teflon Tim is his total dismissal of Kara's opinion and the obvious frustration it's causing her.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kara informs one and all that the song is about the Vietnam War and Andrew should understand that. Kara gets it wrong --again. "Gimme Shelter" had nothing to do with the Vietnam War. The "war, children" that was just a shot away was a race war some folks were anticipating. At that time American cities were burning (burn, baby, burn) in giant race riots. The Vietnam War was not just a shot away. It was already an ongoing shooting war. Kara shows off her vast musical history knowledge and again comes up empty.
---------------------------------------------------------
What great advice for Tim. You're not allowed to "grab" at the audience until you've sold hundreds of millions of albums and become "established?" Makes total sense. She's amazing.
---------------------------------------------------------
I can't stand this pretentious hag. Every word she says she takes those pauses just so she and everyone around her knows how important the syllables are. She makes Oprah seem down to earth.
---------------------------------------------------------
Seems like she has one of four responses this year: 1. I know what kind of record you will make. 2. I can hear that on the radio. 3. You need to feel the meaning of the lyrics. 4. You need to know what kind of artist you will be.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kara hate is universal. As if this show was tough enough to get through with these terrible contestants, then she opens her big fat worthless trap.
---------------------------------------------------------
Stop hatin y'all! Kara is such a glorious trainwreck. Even worse than Paula because Kara is trying SO HARD, and she doesn't have the excuse of being on tranquilizers. American Idol will be just fine without Simon, just as long as Kara is so hilariously desperate.

American Idol has Jumped the Shark with Didgeridoos & Bagpipes & Dippy Kara

Dancing With The Stars was #1 in the latest Nielsen Ratings, coming out on top of American Idol for the first time.

I'm thinking this marks the end of American Idol's rating's dominance, after a slow decline, a decline which began with what I believe was American Idol's Jump the Shark moment, that being the hiring of the extremely annoying and extremely un-entertaining, Kara DioGuardi, as a 4th judge.

Jumping the Shark is a term that is used to mark the moment a previously successful TV show begins to decline, where the show starts to tinker with its formula in attempts to slow up it's decline. In regular series this may be ridiculous plot changes, like when the Conner family became rich due to winning the lottery. Roseanne did not last long after that. Often when producers note a decline, things like cast changes are made, i.e. Kara DioGuardi.

The Jump the Shark phrase came from a Happy Days episode where tough guy, Fonzie, in swimming suit and leather jacket, puts on water skis and proceeds to jump over a shark, turning the already cartoonish Fonzie into a ridiculous joke, marking the decline of Happy Days, which continued another 7 years after Fonzie did his shark jumping.

I suspect the decline of American Idol will come much quicker.

The Kara addition last year was followed by this year's expulsion of Paula Abdul, with Abdul replaced by Ellen DeGeneres. Initially, many viewers thought the Ellen addition would be a good thing, but judging from what I read on TV Forums, a lot of the viewers have reacted the same as I have, in that, Ellen's sense of humor grows stale. She adds little.

This year American Idol has tweaked its production. Take last night for example. We see backstage scenes, intro clips, an additional after the judging moment of camera time, followed by being greeted by the other singers.

Somehow there is way way way more time for judges' comments. We start with Randy, end with Simon, and sometimes go back and forth with further comments. Then Ryan asks some more followup questions. Even the contestant gets into it with questions and comments.

Last year, with 4 judges yapping, I remember one instance where time was so short there was no time for Simon to say anything, so he just stood and gave Adam Lambert a standing ovation.

Were the shows only an hour long at this point last year? Is that why there is so much bloat, this year? Filling up 2 hours? I could not watch this without the DVR invention.

Ironically, with the production values seeming to be amped up, with a lot more camera time spent on the contestants, this is widely believed to be the lamest final group the show has ever found.

Another Jump the Shark thing is people seem to be laughing at the judges in a way they didn't before. As in they seem to have made jokes of themselves. Last week Tim Urban was widely seen to have owned the judges, flipping it back on them in a good-humored way. This week, as if the judges realized how bad they'd been, flipped the other direction and heaped positive on the boy. He did not seem to know quite what to make of it.

It now seems obvious, to many, that losing Paula Abdul greatly altered the chemistry of American Idol, in a very bad way. Kara's odd interacting with Simon has really put people off. It has none of the loopy charm Paula brought to her Simon interactions.

The final nail in the American Idol coffin will be Simon Cowell leaving. Simon has seemed a bit detached at times, like his heart isn't in it. And really, why would it be?

Were the didgeridoo and bagpipes last night more minor shark jumping? With way too much time focused on both?

Tim Urban for the win. That'd be an awesome Jump the Shark moment for American Idol.

UPDATE: Wednesday's Results Show reminded me I forgot one other American Idol Jump the Shark element, that being the Judge's Save that was added a season or two ago.

American Idol's Contrary Cranky Bad Judges Picking On Tiny Tim Urban

Yes, I know I said I was done with American Idol. And then I went and watched it last night, well, fast forwarded through it, and was freshly annoyed.

Tim Urban will be my example of what annoys me. That is he in the picture. He is only 20. Just a kid.

So, last week the so-called Judges, who are more accurately called Contrary Cranks, made a big deal about how the singers were now on a Big Stage, the Kodak Theater, and that they needed to amp it up to fill the stage. Or something like that.

Miley Cyrus, who is younger than just about all but one, was the guest mentor. That in itself is just odd. Miley seemed to like Tim okay and encouraged him. He does not get a lot of encouragement from anyone associated with this show. Or so it seems.

Tim sang Queen's The Thing About Love, or some title like that. Catchy tune you've heard countless times. Tim does his singing, slides across the stage, works the crowd, has the little girls all thrilled, as he does the rock star act of touching hands with the screamers.

Tim finishes. Randy Jackson says something unflattering. I don't remember what. Oh, part of it was that standard useful criticism, "very karaoke, dude."

Then the increasingly useless Ellen DeGeneres opined that it was like watching High School Musical with Tim being Zac Ephron. I may be getting the name wrong. Ellen also mentioned that Tim had a lot of fans who likely loved what he'd just done, but she was not one of them.

The wretchedly annoying Kara DioGuardi then told Tim he had not sold millions of albums, that he had no business acting like an established artist by working the crowd like he did, this, after Ellen had just opined Tim had a lot of adoring fans. And after the Contrary Cranks had told the singers to work harder at filling the stage.

Then Simon Cowell delivered the final Bitch Slap. Telling Tim he had absolutely no chance of winning this competition, that what he'd done on stage was utter corny rubbish.

I forget which of these idiots told Tim he needed to get some vocal training. Why was this not noticed before Tim was in the Final 11? If indeed it is true.

So, if Tim is so bad, how is it that he is in the Top 11? That he was in the Top 24? That he made it to Hollywood? Oh, that's right, it's the Idiot Contrary Cranks who put Tim on the show so they could have themselves a real fine time seeing how badly they could crush the kid's self esteem.

Anyway, American Idol has really Jumped the Shark for me. All 4 of those Contrary Crank so-called Judges need a severe Bitch Slapping.

For Me American Idol Has Jumped The Shark

That is Crystal Bowersox. She got sick last week and so the boys sang on the girl's regular song night, while the girl's sang on the boy's regular song night, with Crystal leading off the night's singing, recovered from her mysterious ailment.

Last week I blogged about the boy's show. I was so bored by it and so annoyed at how inane the American Idol judges have become, when the girl's seemed even worse to me, I didn't have the stomach or desire to blog about it.

I sort of decided I was done with American Idol. For me it has jumped the shark. I think the jump started with the addition of Kara DioGuardi, accelerated with the dropping of Paula Abdul and went into full jump mode with the addition of Ellen DeGeneres.

I thought Ellen DeGeneres was going to be fun. But we are only a few weeks in and she has grown tiresome. And sort of repetitive.

After what has it been, 8 years, or is it 9, of American Idol, Simon Cowell needs some new cliches. "That was very karaoke." "I've heard a performance like that a million times on a cruise ship." "That was something I could have heard at a theme park." "That was like some dreadful wedding singer." He's become a very tiresome old man.

And then, the comments seem even more mean-spirited than previous years, if that's possible. Cowell comments about Casey James' voice, saying something like his gritty tone seems forced, more like sand. To which Kara adds it sounds like dirt. How are these remarks helpful?

And then, one of the 4 who got sent home, this week, was 16 year old Haley Vaughn. The judges told her she just was not ready for this, she needs more training. Huh? Out of the thousands who tried out these idiots put her in the Top 24. And then decided she was not ready.

I also was not getting the pimping of the Bowersox girl. She seems nice enough, but nothing that I look forward to hearing again. I don't remember another season of American Idol where I can find so little entertainment. Of the girls I like the blonde who played the piano, but I don't remember her name, which is telling. I also like Casey James. At least he has a personality and seems like a normal guy.

I've got 24 DVRed, ready to watch tonight, did not have time to watch 24 last night. I may, maybe, give American Idol one more chance, maybe.

Tyler Grady & 3 Others I Don't Remember Sent Home on American Idol

Of the 4 who got sent home, last night, on American Idol's result show, which I did not watch, the only one who's name I recognized and remembered is Tyler Grady.

He was the Jim Morrison wannabe with unfortunate hair and odd body movements. He seemed like a nice guy with a sense of humor.

The other guy to get the boot was Joe Munoz.

The 2 girls going home were Ashley Rodriguez and Janell Wheeler.

I have no mental image of Joe, Ashley or Janell.

American Idol is not working for me this year. The entertainment factor seems to have taken a plummet. I am fairly certain the plummet is not entirely due to the absence of Paula Abdul.

But, Paula Abdul did provide a good measure of amusing banter and sparring with Simon Cowell.

Kara DioGuardi wears on my nerves. I really don't know why. Something about her seems unnatural and forced. A criticism she levels at the singers at times. I don't think it's her faux pas which tire me, things like saying 1901 when she means 2001. If it continues into next week, the swooning over Casey James is going to really cross way over into this is stupid land.

This year Randy Jackson seems different. Like he is talking in complete articulate sentences with a bare minimum of cheesy slang. Maybe he wised up to the fact that it is not a good look for a man closer to retirement age than teen age to be using teenage type hipster slang lingo.

And then there is Ellen DeGeneres. I've always liked her in any venue I've seen her. Til now. Again, I don't quite know why. She really is not being all that funny. At least to me. I heard Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on the radio, Live with Ryan Seacrest, cracking up over Ellen's ripen like a banana remark she made on Wednesday to one of the boy singers. I don't think Randy and Kara have what might be called a highly evolved sense of humor.

As for Ryan Seacrest. Did he take How To Act Overly Earnest lessons since last season? He does not seem to be cracking wise as often as I used to enjoy.

And then there are the singers this year. This year the only one, so far, who has somewhat stood out to me, is the aforementioned, Casey James. I did find the taking off his shirt thing a bit embarrassing, but not for him, embarrassing for Kara D to have asked him to do so, and thus begin her chronic swooning.

I am not all that great a judge of who is swoonworthy. Casey James seems like a real nice guy, and even to my tone-deaf ears he seems to sing well, but I don't get the swooning or the Jessica Simpson hairstyle.

On more than one occasion, this year, we've heard at least one of the judges remark that this is the best group they've ever found. I take this as double-speak to actually mean this is the worst group they have ever found.

Because, that's how it seems to me. I may keep watching.

Randy Jackson Positive that Simon Cowell Will Return on American Idol

Despite the shocking announcement of Simon Cowell leaving American Idol next season, the other original AI judge Randy Jackson thinks that Simon may return to their hit show in time. Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol to launch a US version of another talent show X-Factor.

In an interview with the Regis and Kelly Show, Randy Jackson revealed that Simon might change his mind of leaving AI permanently: “I think he’s going to do Season 9, have so much fun, he’s going to look across the desk and say, ‘Dog, I’ve got to do it again. I’m coming back... Maybe he’ll come back. Who knows?" Randy may be right, in show business, nothing is permanent and comebacks can get things more exciting for a show that's lagging on the ratings game.

America Idol Starts Tonight From Boston For Simon Cowell's Final Season

That's a rare photo of American Idol's Simon Cowell without his toupee.

Season 9 of American Idol kicks off tonight with auditions in Boston. Simon Cowell announced today, or was it yesterday, that Season 9 will be his last season of American Idol.

Supposedly Cowell is moving on to concentrate on the American version of his X Factor talent hunt show. The Brit version of X Factor is a bit hit in the UK.

I guess the U.S. can handle yet one more talent show.

Meanwhile the American Idol juggernaut starts up tonight. I do not believe Ellen DeGeneres shows up as a judge til after the audition episodes. So, it'll be just Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi doing the judging in Boston.

Tomorrow night the auditions continue in Atlanta.

I really don't think American Idol is going to be as entertaining without Paula Abdul and her loopy antics and odd bickering with Simon Cowell.

If Simon Cowell really leaves this cash cow after this season, I'm thinking that might signal the fast decline of American Idol.

Susan Boyle Anxiety Attack - Internet Sensation Trying To Recover (Video)

Her rise is phenomenal, yet Susan Boyle is still a normal 48 year old woman who tries to cope with the unnatural iniquities of show business. Susan Boyle's anxiety attacks make her vulnerable to outburts and now she's still recovering in the Priory located in North London. Her brother Gerry says Susan Boyle is trying to rest because of exhaustion and "emotional drain" after her stint in Britain's Got Talent (BGT), where she finished first runner up. last May 30.

BGT judge Simon Cowell is, in fact, giving Susan Boyle his helping hand as he vowed to pitch in with Susan' medical bills. As of press time, Associated Press reported that it is still "unclear" whether Susan Boyle can still take part in the 17 shows scheduled for the Britain's Got Talent concert tour. I bet a lot of people are expecting to see Susan in the concert tour more than any other contestant. We certainly wish her anxiety treatments will run smoothly until she fully recovers. Below is video of the AP report about Susan Boyle anxiety attack:

Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson Will Give Susan Boyle's First Kiss?

Susan Boyle definitely got the world's attention that American Idol now wants to bring her to the show! Most of all, Susan would seem be getting her first kiss from none other than American Idol judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson! Although Simon Cowell already stated that in a USA Today article that "No, I will not be the first person to kiss her." Randy Jackson has a different plan: “I think Simon and I should do a dual kiss on each cheek on Susan Boyle. I'll fly to London with him. We will sit right beside her and kiss her at the same time. We'll do a countdown to the kiss."

The idea of bringing Susan Boyle to America was first cracked by Ryan Seacrest on his Twitter account. Ryan said he'll be pitching the idea to the producers of bringing Susan to American Idol as a musical guest. Will the 47 year old never-been-kissed spinster get her fervent wish of getting kissed? Well, we will all be excited to see that Randy Jackson idea when she comes visit American Idol show anytime soon!
