So tonight was the first episode of American Idol season 9 and we were in Boston with Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham in the guest judge seat. I sat, watched and took notes as always but I have to question whether it was simply out of habit or because I was genuinely interested...or was it that I was curious as to how things were going to run without the effervescent Paula on the panel.
We had our usual suspects that deserved the rotten tomatoes that Deanna had suggested in my main blog to have on hand. If I had had them on hand, I may just have used them even though it would have meant shampooing the carpet. Before anyone suggests eggs, we don't have them here either as I use the liquid substitute.... gotta be careful of the cholesterol ya know.
There were a few that weren't too bad though and a small handful that are going to warrant watching if only to see if they make it through the Hollywood rounds. Looking at MJ's site, it looks like we enjoyed many of the same ones. Here are my favs this time around:
Ashley Rodriguez:
Mike Davis:
Katie Stevens:
Justin Williams (this was my panty-worthy pick of the night):
Leah Laurenti:
Wednesday's episode is in Atlanta where it looks like we'll see Mary J Blige in the guest spot.

Wow. Ok, honestly, we should have seen this one coming with that new addition last year. However, I really had suspected that an 11th hour deal would have been made. It's still possible, but doubtful at this point.
So how is the show going to fare without her antics? Is it really going to be worth watching? Supposedly the show is all about the kids but we all know the truth. If the show was all about the kids, those judges wouldn't be paid nearly what they are.
