		<description>Thank you &lt;strong&gt;gabam.&lt;/strong&gt;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;As a veteran watcher since Season 1, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m really not a fan of the judges choosing.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I join you.  It seems the most errors made by the judges were to pick cute or sexy girls who sang like goats or couldn&#039;t carry a tune.  We&#039;ll see about this.  I just want to &lt;strong&gt;know&lt;/strong&gt; the Top 24 or Top 20 or whatever.</description>

He&#039;s in New York.  That was fast.  He was just in Texas yesterday doing a M&amp;G at B&amp;N to benefit the charity that he performed for Saturday night.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The video for ALTNOY is already posted in yahoo&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I like this video a lot better than the Crush video.  This one seems more on the mature side.  I also like the rain in the video.</description>

		<description>I am not sure if it is going to happen, but yahoo is showing a video premiere date for DA&#039;s ALTNOY at the 16th. That would probably be tonight at midnight. They premiered Tatoo for Jordan, I guess.

		<description>MJ apparently made a video for the Another Christmas CD to be released in the Philippines (at Mossimo stores) and MTV Philippines is reportedly airing it by the hour. Here&#039;s a TV capture of the video by a Pinoy MJOer...

Still from these shores, here&#039;s Ramiele Malubay&#039;s guest appearance on Philippine TV show SOP (the &quot;rival&quot; musical variety show of ASAP, where MJ appeared some weeks ago)...

		<description>Does anybody trust Simon to make a star bigger than Leona?  Honestly, he just discovered Leona and now he&#039;s moving onto the next big thing?  I mean, what happened to Il Divo (they&#039;re nowhere to be found) or that Potts guy?  What happened to the Potts autobio movie that Simon was producing.  Alexandra shouldn&#039;t hold her breath...esp. since Clive isn&#039;t in control of Arista anymore.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does anybody trust Simon to make a star bigger than Leona?  Honestly, he just discovered Leona and now he&#8217;s moving onto the next big thing?  I mean, what happened to Il Divo (they&#8217;re nowhere to be found) or that Potts guy?  What happened to the Potts autobio movie that Simon was producing.  Alexandra shouldn&#8217;t hold her breath&#8230;esp. since Clive isn&#8217;t in control of Arista anymore.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Exactly as it was done in seasons 1 through 3. This will be no different.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ummm...thank you?

As a veteran watcher since Season 1, I&#039;m really not a fan of the judges choosing.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;the three finalists with the highest number of America&#039;s votes -- one male, one female and the next top vote getter -- will secure coveted spots in the Top 12.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So they will still be doing a guy/girl split, sort of.  Why don&#039;t they just do it like seasons 1-3?  Gender should not be a factor.  

I don&#039;t mind the Wildcard actually.  Without it, we never would&#039;ve had Clay Aiken.  It gives those who missed it before another chance kind of making for only having one shot to impress to begin with.  Sounds like though they will only bring back contestants from the round of 36 and not going back to the Hollywood rounds like before.</description>

		<description>am i the only one that really enjoyed the semifinals of the last 3 seasons?  in my opinion, that was one thing about the show that didn&#039;t need fixing.  Without more chances to see the contestant perform on EQUAL levels, we may not have had people like Jason Castro, Elliot Yamin, or even Jordin or DC make it as far as they did.  That part of the show is crucial for those who don&#039;t get airtime.  I have a feeling this season is going to be really frustrating.</description>

		<description>In regards to gender, I kind of like how the new format has more flexibility.  Potentially, we could see a 9-3 split favoring one gender over the other.</description>

		<description>Thanks Amy for the video it was nice :biggrin_wp:

I have never watched the seasons wih a wild card round and was wondering does it skew it more towards whom the judges want?Why did they get rid of it ?

Something old--wildcard round
Something borrowed--24   from CI
Something new or is it blue-A new fourth permanent judge.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;DC was at another Wal-Mart meeting 12/12 as a surprise guest.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Randy Jackson in the house! That recap was quite funny. That&#039;s one thing I&#039;d like to see on video.

Is the top 5 (or was it top 4?) still going to be at the American Idol Experience opening?</description>

		<description>I think they are doing that to keep the semifinals down to 3 weeks. In order to extend to 4 weeks, they would need to cut from 12 straight to 10 (not a bad idea).</description>

Boo. They should at least do it DWTS style. Let us have SOME say, or we&#039;ll just get the pimp picks. LOL. Simon will pick the hot chick who cant sing, Randy will pick the power belter, Paula will pick some headsrcatcher, Kara will pick a singer songwriter. They we&#039;ll see footage of them fighting, and Randy or Paula will lose.</description>
