"This is American Idol" is the iconic greeting from Ryan Secrest, before every show of American Idol. Last night was the premiere of the 12th season. I am one of those people that have stuck with this show from the first season with Kelly Clarkson. In the past few years there has been a lot of changes in the judges. The original pannel of Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul are long gone. This year has brought some changes with the judging, this year the judges are Randy Jackson, Nicki Manaj, Mariah Carey, and Keith Urban. I haven't decided my position on these new judges.
From what I have seen so far I like Nicki's personality a lot, I think that she takes over the "Stephen Tyler" of the show, with their funny comments. I have to admit that I don't really have any background information or opinions about Keith but I LOVE his accent. I am one of those people that are obsessed with other peoples accents. I don't have my finger on Mariah just yet. Then there is my dawg, Randy Jackson. He is not only the last remaining original judge but he is just so real in that he tells it how it is.
This year is pretty exciting for Iowa because there are at least two contestants that have made it to Hollywood week. Alisabeth Von Presley from Cedar Rapids and Gabe Brown from Marion Iowa. Alisabeth actually helps out with our musical theatre groups for speech at my school and I saw Gabe perform at a local restaurant. It is really fun to see people that are from your town on a show as big as American Idol. I hope that they both do really well! I am looking forward to a great year of American Idol.
Thanks for reading :)
