REVIEWED
What a show ! I think AI has really got it together this time. Gone are the chessy stuffs it had before which I think contributed to the show demising thru the years. The fact that the show once made fun of the bad contestants whom should have been filtered even before the Celebrity Judging phase could help the show not to face extinction. Yes after Simon Cowell there are lesser and lesser sarcastic remarks on the hopefuls. But knowing that they should not need to go thru it and on top of that let the world to see thou thats entertainment is cruel to most people.

Is the standard up this year or is it because of the different approach in AI this year ?

Many good people this time around. Some for their looks, others for their personalities, most on their vocals and of course some on all of it. A few are really really good.

But of course this round will not promise that they can go far. But its a start.

Looking forward in watching the progress of the show thru the weeks.

American Idol - IS BACK !!

AI is back now one last time Season 15. Can you expect anything different this time around ?
See this one more round for one last time. Final season of the show. Welcome Keith, Jeniffer and Harry

REVIEW
Being the last season before lights off, noticeable changes we are seeing is where the hopefuls are being vetted at the stadium hence answering the question where the hell the trio finds the time to audition thousands of people !

A few "on the fence" performers who was not selected is understandable - like the wife of the duo with the baby, the fat cowboy and a few more. But through the years we were made to believe that those very below par participants can made thru the judges ? It happend because thats entertainment material at the expense of the participants, I guess.

Notable changes they invited past winners and near winners to do the vetting. Long time no see Taylor Hicks - how come your hair got white ?

The cop gal who handcuffed Harry is memorable to me. Not the handcuffed antics ! Pretty yet tough and a real cop ! Thank god she made it thru ! Also the pretty Indian migrant contestant who Harry says should be one to watch. But as we know, judges predictions cannot always be right.

Sad to see this musical reality shows go away after this season. To me, its one musical reality show that give people hope to be somebody thru tedious challenges and work. Not all winners will make it in the real world. Even some who did not reached the top are now better off than those who did. In fact i totally forgot who was last year winner which during the show reminded me again - its Nick. But i voted Beckham !

So here we go for another round and dose of AI.

This is not the Pink Floyd's Wall production or even the concert they made when the Berlin Wal was torn down. Made in 2014. If you are a big fan of PF or even RW, worth watching.

REVIEWED
This is the 43rd AMA. This time it was hosted by Jenifer Lopez who to me didnt do much as a host except that you need one. Yes she can dance, announced and even presented but what makes her different than the other guest announcers except that she is officially the one who open and closes the show.
This copy of the show has censorship ! It must some bad language and even Selena Gomez had her song silence a few times (not beep).
Notable was the number of singers young and old who had problem with pitching. This includes Luke Bryan and even Celine Dion ! Was the standard a bit down or my ear is extra sensitive or going old ?
A few are confidently miming and I guess in this age live performance is not a necessity. Justin Bieber surely mimed and a few others. Even Luke Bryan - shame on him on country music.
I am not a big fan of 1Direction but there are a few songs I like. They performed, must be their new single "perfect"(?). Now there are only 4 of em. But what I like is their charisma and their vocals. Each one of them are their own individual performances. Why not, as they are individual failures from a talent show. They're good better than other boy bands we know like BSB, Westlife, NKOTB etc etc.for sure.
Ariana Grande. Why do people keep liking this girl. Having a record of having a top 10 in the first debut single of a new album. She has 3. I think the word is over exploitation. Bette Midler might be right for condeming her left and right for allowing that to happen to her.
The Paris bombing/shooting tribute was memorable. Some of the crowds were crying like crazy although Celine Dion was singing a French song where most possibly no one understands including me !. Very nice introduction given by Jared Leto (30secs to Mars). What he said was fair that they are concern with any violence in any part of the world not only France. But then violence in other countries never find their way to AMA, do they ? 
Overall, the stage was awesome. The technicality gizmos of it were fantastic. I thought having fire on stage is bad enough but then Justin Beiber closed the show in rain soaked ankle deep rain ! That was real indeed.
