American Idol Season Premiere Highlights

Wednesday January 19, 2005
Here's everything I loved about the season premiere of American Idol:

The Night's Best Quotes:

  • "I just found out that I can sing two weeks ago…There’s no doubt that I am the next American Idol."
  • Simon: "God doesn't want you to win this competition...He just told us loud and clear, he doesn't want you to win."

    Most Memorable Auditions:
  • Toni Braxton’s cousin. If he really is related to Toni, it's clear that talent doesn't run in the family...
  • Mary “Voices in my Head” Roach : Let’s hope she gets the psychiatric help she needs.
  • The “If I don't get to sing, I’ll die” Lady: Talk about intense! And who choses their karaoke machine over their wedding ring?
  • Breakdancing Travis Tucker – He sings. He dances. He’s going all the way!
  • Single Mom from Syracuse, NY: – The girl can sing!!! She will at least make it to the top 30.

    Best Part of The Show
    It was nice to see some older, more mature contestants this year.

    Now you can talk about the show on our message boards. My forums are still brand-spanking new, so please help me get the reality TV party started!
