There's something weird about the camera angle on the contestants this year. I'm very much aware of being able to see inside their mouths and practically down their throats. It's very distracting.

I have to say that I really didn't see anyone that thrilled me. No "Mama" adrenalin rush!! I was not really thrilled with all the guitars, either!!

Well, this is interesting! Google, Facebook bring new interactive features to 'American Idol'
The producers of Fox's "American Idol" are looking to give the long-running televised singing competition a fresh hook and attract viewers with new interactive features offered through partnerships with Google and Facebook.
In a first for Google, people who use its search engine to learn more about the show, its contestants or judges will be able to cast votes directly from within Google's search results.
Facebook users, meanwhile, might see their profile pictures displayed during the telecast when they cast a ballot.
"Now more than ever, we've got these incredible technology platforms that can be used in real time to not only reflect what's happening on the show, but to create a two-way dialog between the viewers and the show itself," said Bill Bradford, senior vice president of digital for Fox Broadcasting.
The singing competition, now in its 13th season, has launched the musical careers of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks. It still attracts millions of viewers, though ratings have declined from its heyday.
Google proposed a new voting wrinkle for the show that has been in the vanguard of at-home audience participation. Viewers will be able to cast ballots for favorite performers whenever they use their computers, smartphones or tablets to search for more information about the show.
A voting module will begin appearing in the Google search results, starting with the finalist performances on Feb. 26.
"It's the first time we have voting go to the user," Luner said, noting that viewers can already support their favorite performers through toll-free balloting by phone, texting and online voting.
When it comes to online voting, Facebook already works with Fox and Fremantle to verify that the ballots cast online and through the "American Idol" mobile application are viewers, not an automated software program.

Rumor has it that there will be a special episode of mentoring with Adam and Chris Daughtry. Hope this is true. Would be great if they would mentor during the season also.

With the Idol schedule I would say Adam & Chris will be on the Feb 18th and Feb 19th shows. That week there will be 3 shows. Tuesday is Top 15 girls performing. Wednesday is Top 16 boys performing. Thursday will be a live results show and they will be slashed to just 12 Finalists from America's voting on the previous 2 nights. I am picturing a mentoring clip with each contestant being shown before they do their song. Or random clips interspersed throughout the show. I think Adam and Chris will be mentoring mostly about song choice and staging! Can't wait!! Then the following week will be Adam's first of 2 Glee episodes! Adam on our TVs 3 weeks in a row!!

Not on yet here. An hour to go. I thought last night was outstanding though. I disagreed with 2 people from the judges. But really so much talent!
