I can honestly say that I am getting quite tired of AI. I get more pleasure out of watching the auditions

Me too and the thing is they have Simon for 5 more years which means 5 more seasons of it.

I doubt I watch it past the city to city auditions if that.

I'll say I won't watch......and lo and behold I'll be hooked

I think I'll watch for the auditions and if there is a clear favorite, like another Fantasia, I'll tune in.

By the way, Fantasia was beat out for the part in Dreamgirls by another American Idol contestant, Jennifer (I think the black girl with the big hair).

Yup, Jennifer Hudson

Not really sure how that happened though. It MUST have been on acting ability because Fantasia could out-sing her anyday! That probably would have pushed her career even further.

Anybody see her on Kanye West's tour? I've kinda lost touch with what's going on with her today...

I'on know about out sing but she can certainly out scream.

If you've ever seen Dreamgirls or know the story...Fantasia would not have been a good fit for the role of Effie....Jennifer is a good choice vocally and visually....(even Frenchie from Season 2 would have been a good fit)

Frenchie would have been excellent as Effie, but I'm glad Jennifer got the part.

I'm so ready for AI!!! I hope it's much better than this year's show.

After they've had a winner like Fantasia it's hard to watch. Last season was kinda BLAH.

What they haven't had yet was a white male winner and that's probably what they're looking for in season 5. You will be able to tell what they want by demographics of the top 12.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - This season, "American Idol" will air on Thursdays after all.

After announcing late last month that it would keep the blockbuster reality series in its original Tuesday and Thursday slots -- ending weeks of speculation about a possible move of the results show to Thursday -- Fox said Monday that during the three-week semifinal round, the live results show will air Thursdays.

As previously announced, the audition stage of the singing competition will air at 8-9 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning January 17.

The semifinals will begin February 15, when the 12 male and 12 female singers who made it through the preliminary rounds will be revealed.

For the next three weeks, the men will perform on Tuesday, the women on Wednesday, followed by a one-hour live results show at 8-9 p.m. Thursday.

With the field winnowed down to 12 singers, the final round of the competition will follow the familiar Tuesday-Wednesday scheduling pattern beginning March 14.

Something told me to get one of those when I worked for "major satelight company". At that time I could get it for $50. Now I go to pay $100 like everyone else.
