What I Love About This Years American Idol

American Idol has always been on my top ten list of Reality TV Shows....but I have to admit I was a little skeptical as a viewer this season due to the fact that Simon was gone.  Call me crazy but I loved Simon!!!  I mean he could be brutal (dont get me wrong) AND aside from Donal Trump he has the worst hair of anyone on TV, but I loved that he had the confidence to say exactly what was on his mind and he didnt care who agreed with him. So when they announced that the new judges would be Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler I was like.....Eh?!?!  BUT I can honestly say that they bring something fresh to the show.  So lets get to it then: "The Top 10 Things I Love About This Years American Idol"

1.  JLo's fashion.....I mean really?!?!?  It is a relief to see someone who is dressed better than Ryan Seacrest!  I dont know who her stylist is but DANG she is fierce!!!!  She can pull off just about anything and even if it isnt something I wouldnt be caught dead in she finds a way to work it!

2.  StevenTyler.....he seems so genuine, kind and caring without losing his whole "I am a bad-ass-rocker status" LOVE HIM :)

3.  Casey Abrams he is crazy good.....My prediction?!?!?  He will win it all! MY FAVE :)

4.  Lauren Alaina...she is sixteen years old people!!!  She is so good and I kinda love that she has Steven Tyler wrapped around her little finger

5.  Paul McDonald....what a cutie pie!  He has a beautiful smile AND there is something about his voice that gets me going.  I also love the fact that he picked a Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Bryan Adams) song last night.  Most people have no clue who Ryan Adams is (btw he is married to Mandy Moore)....if you dont, do yourself a favor & look him up on youtube!!!  "Ryan Adams Come Pick Me Up" if you want the "clean family friendly version" click on the live performance from the Letterman show otherwise the cut from his Heartbreaker album is worth listening to.  You can thank me later! 

6.  The Diva a.k.a. Ashton Jones.....ok so she is def not a fave but she needs mentioning if nothing but for her hair.  Hey Ashton, Diana Ross called.....she wants her hair back!!!!

7.  Pia Toscano....she wasnt a fave of mine until last week.  She has crazy vocals and I think she will go far.  If not, she will not be short on offers in the entertainment business!!!  She is BEA-utiful!

8.  Thia Megia......again not a fave but she needs a spot on the hollywood walk of fame just for her name alone.  Say it a few times out loud....Thia Megia....just rolls of the tongue right?!?!?!

9.  James Durbin....um yeah another crazy good voice!!!  And talk about overcoming adversity!  When he was only 9 yrs old his father died of a drug overdose.  Soon after his fathers death he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and Asburger's.  Seriously?!?!?!  He has passion and a love for music and it shows in his performances.  I love him too!

10.  Scotty McCreery....17 years old with a voice that was made for country music and if you know me you know I love me some country music.  Seriously he could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing!

Did I mention that I love Steven Tyler?!?!?  I did?  Ok just making sure!
