First, welcome back! I can’t honestly say that I’ve been looking forward to this all year, but since Idol decided to continue on, I figured I’d take some more shots at them.
Anyway, everyone keeps saying that this is the most talented year ever. Wait, the only people that say that are Ryan, Paula, Randy and Simon…again and again and again. Honestly, I’m not that impressed. Stay tuned though because I’ve got an amazingly sinister plan. Its so amazing that if you even began to try to think about it your head would literally explode. So rather than killing all five of my regular readers (ok, there are seven of you), I’ll just put it out there tomorrow in its full glory. I might even throw in a quick rundown of the boys and girls.
Sleep tight!

Just in case you were wondering what was going on, we are in the middle of upgrading the site. But don’t worry, its only temporary and we’ll have a lot more features and a much snazzier looking site here shortly!

Well Kayla didn’t make the cut which was a big disappointment for me, but that we don’t let that stay in the way of progress.
Anyway, out with the old and in with the new. I’m giddy like a schoolgirl (ok, not literally or figuratively) waiting to see if Kyle Ensley makes it to that elite society called “The Round of 24″!!!
In case you are just joining us, I’ll give you a quick rundown of why Kyle is our man.
First, he has “the look”

Note: There may be better pictures of Kyle on the intarweb but this one was special as it came from an Oklahoma State Scholar Development page, which just adds into his second feature.
Second, NERD!
Third, he actually has a voice just good enough to not instantly annoy you but at the same time nobody would buy any of his albums. Not that the Idol’s records are flying off the shelves anyway.
Ok, well we can’t really do anything till after Simon and the gang make their final decisions, so until I know for sure that Kyle can be given our official nod I’m not wasting another word.

Is Idol slipping into oblivion? Well, the LA Times thinks so. It also suggests that we might be having an effect.
Critics felt last year’s competition was hijacked by a distracting controversy over Sanjaya Malakar…
Personally I don’t care how it happens, but the season is just getting started and I’m already bored both watching and trying to take down the man. But don’t you worry my fellow DestroyAI’ers, I’ll see this through to the end!

It was late last night when I watched Idol, but there was absolutely nothing worth mentioning. The only reason I didn’t just fall asleep was the fact that I just hooked up my new big screen! Now I just can’t wait till I start recording it in HD.
Oh wait, I do remember one thing. There was a chick Carly Hennessy who apparently used to have a record deal with MCA Records. Is that allowed?
Anyway if you thought she has a lot of tattoo’s check out her boyfriend.

It is still early into the competition, but last night gave us a shimmer of hope. They were being quite stingy with their Hollywood passes until Kayla Hatfield came in. She has an amazing story, an electric personality, not too much fashion sense, and a horrible singing voice…perfect!
Amazingly enough, Paula was the only one to give her a no. I think that already makes her an Idol first. Simon said that he “wished he could be her for just one hour, maybe two.”
There is no way you can hate the girl, she has been through so much already and she still has an uncanny joyful outlook on life. Well, here’s to hoping that you can make it through the Hollywood round!
Go Kayla!

Well Idol kicked off last night. Just in case you missed it, I can fill you in. They did took the best and the worst singers, hyped them up, interviewed their families, then either gave them a ticket or filmed them as they cursed Simon all the way to the door.
Did anyone else think that Randy put on a few extra pounds since last season?

All I’ve got to say was that I was quite scared. But man oh man, not even in the bottom 3. If I think I heard correctly Sanjaya alone had 37 million votes…AMAZING.
I guess people liked Sanjaya’s change of pace. Instead of sucking his usual horrendous karaoke style way, he completely changed it up and sang what will probably go down in history as the worst nasally, tinny vocal in AI history. But at least he had the guts to stand up to Simon and tell him that he intentionally sounded horrible.

When Chris Richardson was asked about Sanjaya’s performance, he just bobbed his head three times to the left, then twice to the right. Then he muttered something unintelligible to which Simon promptly gave a smirk (and then apologized for?).
All in all, if Sanjaya is going to continue on I think he is going to have to mix up his style some in the following weeks. But his complete lack of skill should make up for any other shortcomings, so keep voting and keep checking back here.
