Someone asked me this the other day and my answer was, "Of course!" I don't watch it for the judges. I watch it for the singers.
That said, if you didn't watch Tuesday's show yet and don't want spoilers, go wash the dishes or something and come back after you've watched the episode.
I don't really have much in the way of spoilers, actually. I'm terrible with names in these early stages but I do remember one girl. Her name was Maddie. She was 16 and came from a large family. One of her brothers has Down's Syndrome and her parents adopted several other boys with Down's Syndrome as well. There was video of her with her brothers and I was so impressed. The judges commented on her maturity. Simon said most 16 year olds who audition are annoying but she wasn't. Not only that - she could sing! She made it to Hollywood and I'm looking forward to more from her.
The only other 2 that really stood out for me were the Italian guy with the huge family and the girl who sang Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead. He was a riot and seemed genuinely nice. His voice wasn't bad either. The girl could scat! I really enjoyed her singing and was disappointed they didn't really focus on her much.
Tonight, I'll be watching the Wednesday edition of American Idol and possibly Ugly Betty if there's time. Please click on Comment and let's talk!

I like the tryouts too! Where else can you hear such a beautiful rendition of Foo' wit your pants down?
Maybe you should send some jewelry to the contestants, get some national publicity if they wear it???
Good idea on the jewelry marketing but when was the last time you heard someone say, "That was a great necklace that AI contestant was wearing. I wonder where she got it?" And, even if they did, how would I get that information to her? Still, I like the idea. My dream is to have a piece of my jewelry on a celebrity walking a red carpet. "Who are you wearing?" Dress by Versaci, jewelry by Sweet Pea Creationz, an amazing new jewelry designer I've just discovered."
Hey, a gal can dream, right?
I also love the singing and the contestants but yeah - the judges do have something to do with my decision to watch. I am actually glad Paula is gone - she was just too strange at times and all that sunshine got to be boring. However, I'm reserving judgment on whether or not it will still be watchable without Simon - I suppose it depends on who they get to replace him.
Other than that, I love this show! I no longer find the awful people as funny as I used to, but I think every season I fall more in love with the stories of the people who cross the show's path. Something that makes you smile and laugh for an hour or so can't be bad!
