American Idol looks much different from what I remember. Full disclosure, I ditched the show after its midway point in Season Seven when David Cook earned the title. The judges - Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban - are prettier than the original three, way less failed Auditions air, and Coca Cola bailed on the competition. What remains (and this is what keeps the ****** on the air) is the allure that in a matter of months a **body can become a household name and be propelled into the limelight. Oh yeah, and Ryan Seacrest is still here too.
