I found myself more distracted than I usually am during the opening season of 'wannabee's'. A lot of yawns, and runs to the potty, mostly because it was, well, booooooooring.The judges were 'ok', kind of sweet, actually. Randy seemed a little more out of his element, working with 2 people who are positive and not so abrasive. I mean, for once, it's in HIS lap to be the tough guy, and he doesn't do tough so well. He mostly starts laughing and looking around like, "where is the exit, anyway??".
Tyler's 'oh, baby', seemed to go to the good, bad and ugly, but overall, I think he was genuine. I felt he WANTED to see everyone go through. Except the paint-chip-eater. That was a bit out of context for the evening. But good, nontheless.
Jennifer seemed sweet enough. And having seen her on a few talk shows, I think motherhood has ex-diva'd her. Or diva'd her down, whatever. In other words, she has a bit more compassion. I was surprised that so many of the contestants were so enamoured of HER. She is beautiful, though, sexy, and amazingly talented....(stars in my eyes...).
As I said before, it's a 'wait and see' season. But I think IMHO, I'm getting burned out with the singing, beggging, screetching, threatening (haven't seen that yet), broken dreams, etc. It's all relevent, and we've seen it now for TEN FREAKING YEARS!!
