It's AI time - I'm so ready. And thrilled you'll be updating like you were last year - your family kept us rolling. We've been fans from the very first show. Ridiculous fans. We'll be watching, laughing, and commenting right along with you. Do they know? I don't know, but I worry about that every time I tell my young children that whatever they're doing is marvelous (when it's SO obviously not) I seriously think,"Am I creating those crazies we see the first few weeks?" Oh, and I'm optimistic about Ellen too. Yay!! It’s AI time – I’m so ready.

However, someone who would have a blog and name it after themselves clearly has ego problems and likes to give his opinion. As far as #3 goes, my question at the end is rhetorical. There may be some people on the record producing side of 19 Productions that really care about who wins, but it has recently been shown (see Daughtry) that you only need to advance so far to get the springboard you need to fame. I think the AI people are cashing checks and enjoying all the controversy (I imagine Simon Cowell lighting his cigars with $100 bills and laughing).
