I’m
already missing my friends on American Idol.
We
have not watched every season of AI, and we didn’t watch last year’s season at
all (Season 12). We weren’t too thrilled about the addition of the, AHEM, women
judges, so we opted out.
This
season, however, was very different.
We
watched every. single. episode.
One of my favorite aspects this year had nothing to do with the talent of the contestants. It had everything to do with the judges. There was something
so awesome about the trio of JLo, Harry, and Keith Urban (you always have to
say his last name because it’s very cool). They were really very fascinating. The way Harry added his expertise of music... And, if I can give my opinion, I think this was the best judging panel EVER.
Then, add Randy and Ryan into the mix… We thought it was great!
When
they were starting with 15 guys/15 girls, we had the winners pegged. It really
wasn’t that difficult to see the most talented, but we did go back and forth
about who was going to win – Caleb, Jena, or Alex. They were all so different
and all so very good. While watching the finale, it was easy to see who was
the best-of-the-best.
We
heard criticism of this year’s contestants from many on social media. They said
the contestants weren’t talented at all, boring, etc.
Our
family found them to be completely opposite.
I
think my very favorite part about American Idol is that our family sits down
together every time it’s on and watches it together. We laugh, shout, and clap.
Together. When you have kids who are growing up so fast, it's a blessing that you can all find something to watch together.
We
hope the team of judges stay together for the next season. I can’t imagine any other group of judges being
that great. The number they all sang together… Whoa! That was fantastic, and
I probably enjoyed that performance most of all in the finale (but Alex and
Jason Mraz came in a close second).
7
months, People!
And the Hammers will be waiting.
