I wish TPTB would give more credit to Taylor. That was such a GOOD season and he was a great part of why I loved it so much.

After watching seven seasons, I am hoping thos season will provide excitement as Seasons 7, 4, and 5 did!

I saw this during the game and was totally lmao.

I can. not. wait. until the new season starts. I’m really excited about Kara and thankful that she seems to be another Simon, judging-wise. It’s about damn time they have someone else with sense on that panel. Heh.

Having watched Britain’s Got Talent (which has the perfect judge panel), Simon can funny this way, although I don’t care about this girl LOL. I thought they’d be all serious and dull like So You Think You Can Dance Australia, which desperately needed Mary Murphy, but no, they’re all kinds of fun and tease each other.

If Kara is going to be “the serious judge”, Simon might loosen up a bit, for a change. It can become a great season. I’m still not going to watch…

think that Kara is going to try and be the complete opposite of Paula, something like a Simon Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œMinni MeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . I think one person Simonizing is enough but time will tell. hh_ee:

Yeah.. I am not really convinced about Kara’s addition either.

The judges table seem so crowded and if the show is going to be about them it just doesn’t work..Not liking the interaction between them. She is trying to be the female Simon for sure.

I think they are hoping that adding one more judge will increase the ratings, but I am not liking what I am seeing. I hope I am wrong though.

I realize that this commercial is simply a teaser with the hopeful end results of gaining more of the (I would assume)male audience but I also found it very disrespectful (it’s one thing to have her make the judges round for laughs but all the way to Hollywood it a bit much). It was all so fake and cheesy (even the judges). :thumbdown_tb:

Hopefully this isnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t an indication that the show is going to go downhill this year. Last year had so much talent.

I’m guessing they’ll have the usual balance of great talent and great…well. However, I do find it a little weird that the only way Simon doesn’t get what he wants is if all three vote against him. Not sure I like that.

Why yes, I am easily amused by SimonÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s facial expressions (see also: FantasiaÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance),

Fantasia’s performance + Simon’s face= win

Look out contestants; here come the judges. I have a feeling they are going to steal the show. Hee.

Am I the only one who thinks that letting her in was disrespectful to the people with talent who try out? :flush_tb: Hopefully this isn’t an indication that the show is going to go downhill this year. Last year had so much talent.

Yay, I actually caught it on the big screen. Much more appealing than the girl in the bikini. : )

What the hell? She got through! Seriously?! I luaghed at Simon though

IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m guessing so.

Oooh, and I was thinking she could actually advance to top 24.

Noticed the backdrop? There seems to be a certain lack of proportion between the faces… Taylor is smaller, and with a plant covering part of his face…

I think the judges just might be the most entertaing aspect of the show this year.

Yep. LOL
