Finally got to watch this; very cool! You guys all seem to have great chemistry, and how fun to see Idol given the Best Damn Sports Show treatment (and even more fun: the consensus that Randy is useless). You more than held your own as always! Also, I love that you gave props to Chikezie for “She’s a Woman”; it’s got to be in my all-time top 10 or 20 Idol performances.

This is so cool MJ!! I’m so glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve. I’ve just watched the vids, and you did a great job. It’s nice to put a face with a name. Thanks for all you do!

That was great. Everyone made some excellent observations.
And congrats MJ for making it to MTV. That’s really cool.

Great job, MJ–and how cool to have a face to go with the words! And so nice to hear smart people talking intelligently about something I’m obssessed by. (I feel so much less geeky now!)

Really nice job MJ!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the video. So pleased you and Michael are DC supporters.

And you are so right! AI ow needs a first place winner to be a superstar and that is David Cook! With his sexy charisma he would make some great videos.

Thanks again for putting up the video.

Great job and congratulations MJ! What a great day for you to remember. Agree with pretty much everything said, aside from the David A. winning part and Rickey’s reasoning it as what the show is about.

I love hearing other Idol geeks discuss Idol!

Here’s to David Cook standing on stage with “flames” of confetti!

Really enjoyed watching that, MJ! Wonderful to finally put a face to your name. My only complaint is it was too short. I hope they decide to show the footage they cut somewhere.

Terrific discussions and opinions. I think they should take the section on suggestions for improvements and send it to Nigel. Ask Jim to add a p.s. to raise the age.

Glad to be a part of the community you’ve built here, MJ!

Congrats MJ! You were incredibly good, and I love having a face to put with the name. Great views, well stated. Loved the whole roundtable… entertaining and well done.

The discussion about best performances was fascinating. Each year, there are clear standout performances… and invariably the performer(s) responsible are eliminated before the final. It’s the nature of this beast, I think.

By the way, great job MJ! Must be nice to be an expert. Bet you didn’t see that coming when you started this blog.

Yeah, I have wondered about the show and its goal (other than obviously making a lot of money for the producers) for a long time. If it is just to find a superstar recording artist it seems like they would take the performance aspect of it out of the equation until it was determined the person could actually sell records. I guess that would be difficult to do in a tv show.

MJ,
I hope that was really fun for you. Being on the MTV set has to be one of those “moments” you will always remember. Enjoyed it!

MJ,
Great Job. I hope it was as big a thrill for you as it was for all of us idolfans watching! You and Michael Slezak were both well spoken and made great points. Keep up the good work!!
Looking forward to watching AI Finale tomorrow night and the top five duets.
