The Previous thread was closed so I thought we could start a new one…
Early reminder! Season premiere starts on Sunday 2/16. (It will overlap The Voice this season, which premieres on Monday 2/24.)
Wow, I thought that ended years ago…
Reminder! New season of American Idol premieres Sunday 2/16.
Anyone with kids who auditioned this year?
Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for the heads up. We usually try to watch.
I really did look for this info, but is AI only going to be on Sunday nights or Sunday and Monday? Or other days? I know it airs tonight and next Sunday, but that’s all I could find.
I was wondering the same thing, but can’t find any info.

Not sure what ‘TBA’ actually means? If they already know the Top-40 why not a little more programming details?
Anybody watch? Just Sam got to me.
Yes, me too! ?
I love the first girl, the guy from Nepal and Just Sam.
After looking forward to the show all day, I got invited for pizza and games with my grown kids, which I couldn’t pass up. So I will try to catch it OnDemand or the website. I don’t have DVR.
Another Just Sam fan.
I just watched last night’s show. I’m finding it very–can’t really put my finger on it–scripted or pretentious or not believable. Why do the judges have to hug everybody? Can Lionel just not keep his hands off these kids? And the “pretty” boy obviously has had much experience working a camera. And garbage man guy sings totally off key and then makes a miraculous turnaround with the piano. Just not buying it.
But I like a lot of the singers.
Missed last nights show and forgot to record it. Will try to catch future ones. Were the contestants good?
jym626, As Youdon’say and psychmomma mentioned, Just Sam was very good. You can watch her AI audition on YouTube as well.
I agree with musicmom about it being OVERLY scripted. (Just like The Voice!)
Yeah, something tells me when Katie threw that (fake) temper tantrum, that girl will be back. I was surprised she didn’t make it in, and I’m thinking there’s gonna be a second chance or something for her.
I also thought Lionel was too touchy-feely. A time or two, it seemed appropriate. After a while, it seemed completely inappropriate.
Also, though I love Just Sam, I feel like every season they have these underdogs, and they unfortunately don’t make it far. Many of the contestants have had years of voice training. Some are semi-professionals. And the underdogs, while they do have talent and a great story, they just don’t have the training and experience that can get them through.
I missed Just Sam but loved the guy from Nepal.
Nobody really blew me away tonight. I did like the guy from Louisiana a lot, though. I think I’m going to have to start taking notes because I really don’t remember much! Or maybe they just weren’t memorable.
