Thank you, Lord. After months of waiting for the next season of American Idol to kick into gear, our nights will no longer be sad little Simon-free shells of their former selves. Season Six of A.I. officially starts tonight with a two-hour special on Fox, airing at 8 P.M. EST. What can we expect? Jessica Shaw’s Entertainment Weekly cover story last week summed it up well:
- There’s no obvious front-runner as yet
- The people who showed up for auditions were even crappier/wackier than in seasons past
- A new songwriting competition will be introduced to determine the winning single
- Macca might finally be a guest judge
- Simon still refuses to take his mood-stabilizers
The article was published before this happened, which is likely why there was no special category for addled Paula antics. We can’t. Effing. Wait.
