So we have completed the first two nights of American Idol season 10.  I will admit that I was very anti-Idol when I found out Simon Cowell would be leaving the show. Then that all changed when Steven Tyler signed on.  You see, I love this man. Aerosmith is my boyfriend…. truly I love them!  Steven is the best, most kick ass rocker of all time, in my opinion…. and yeah, he’s 62…. he’s been around for a long time and he’s still hot as hell… Okay… I will stop drooling on my keyboard and get back to Idol.

So after the premiere week, I am impressed!  I loved the new panel of judges. Jennifer Lopez was a pleasant surprise for me.  I really thought she would act like a diva biotch… I was wrong!  I love her!

It’s fun to see these guys on a more natural, personal level than we are used to. Seeing them in concert is such a different experience.

There were of course some seriously insane auditions, there always are.  But there were some really great ones to go with them.  I do believe my favorite so far is Travis Orlando.  His story is so touching, he and his family are so close.  They survived homelessness and are closer than ever.  He’s only 16 and has the biggest heart and some amazing pipes!

If you missed him or would like a second listen, here you go:
