Hi, jonny. Thanks for the ping!

I'm not sure how this reboot's going to go, though I'll give it a chance. It couldn't be worse than the last few seasons of original recipe Idol...could it?

Like Yaelle, I'll be watching in Pacific time.

Yay, lonevoice, I have somebody to watch with!

Same thread all season.

The older he gets, the harder he struggles to make himself look like Little Richard.

Are you talking about Lionel Richie or Seacrest? :D

[silent_jonny]

And gradation to you, Patriot :) Good to see you again.

Let me guess....a pierced, tattooed transgendered minority contestant will win with a song taking shots at Trump.

FOX sure tried its best to get socially engineered contestants to win--only to have a straight white guy win almost every season.

And that was all pre-Trump. No telling what lefty shenanigans we'll see now that ABC/Disney are pulling the strings.

[lonevoice]

Getting ready! :-)

Hi, Twin! I may regret this decision :) But it’s as good a reason as any to hang out with friends that I miss.

You are my brudder

like redrawing the official Obama portrait or saving the world from Russian hackers.

Obama deserves that portrait, lol.

I wanted to do a painting of the new judges and (because we're dealing with Disney now) a gender-confused Mickey Mouse and other PC characters. But this is as far as I got with it.

2 years and it’s back. Although, I wish it was still on Fox. I can’t stand abc.

Really they only skipped 2017, but I haven't watched it since 2015. And I barely have any recollection of it.

At least now ABC/Disney is pumping millions into this show. The last few years at FOX they were on a shoestring budget. They had Will.I.Am as a guest mentor three weeks in a row. He must have been paying off a debt or something.

[silent_jonny]

FOX wishes they’d held onto this show. They have so little confidence in their own primetime lineup that they’re clearing their schedule tonight for ... a 12 year old interview of OJ Simpson.

Hi, Nea! Are you sure you weren’t pinged? Your name is right in the middle of the ping list.

[LA Woman3]

I will be watching tonight! ❤️ Lionel Richie!

[silent_jonny]

Hi Big and Otherwise Occupied Lil! :) Great to see you again!

[silent_jonny]

The Journey Begins

And Will Suddenly End

As always, if you want on or off this ping list, just let me know :)

[silent_jonny]

if it makes it past this season

And that's a big if.
