All it took were a few diva smack down moments between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey and I decided to boycott American Idol last season. I wasn't alone, the show's ratings plummeted as the rivalry between Minaj and Carey out shadowed the talent search.
Season 13 premiered this week with the return of Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban to the judges panel and the addition of Harry Connick Jr. A few more changes have also been added to the show including "The Chamber" (a holding booth the contestants enter prior to facing the judges) and other surprises that promise to ramp up the elimination process, that will bring us to the top 13 quicker than before.
The chemistry between the judges is infectious and entertaining, with Harry Connick Jr. being the one most prepared to tell it like it is, shattering the dreams of some of the young hopefuls [he's not quite Simon Cowell, but give him time]
It may be season "13" for American Idol, and if the first few episodes are any indication, it'll be anything but unlucky.
I'm back on the AI band wagon and looking forward to seeing what the new season has in store.
Have you been watching? What do you think of the new American Idol?

Darn...I forgot it was on...when is the next episode?
Jane, It is on Wed and Thurs at 8pm. You can catch up on episodes you missed at www.CTV.ca The premiere episode from Wed is available now, tonight's episode will probably be available by tomorrow. Definitely worth giving a try. I really like Keith Urban too. I know he started on the show last season, but because of the Divas I didn't get a chance to see what kind of a judge he would be.
