I know everyone is excited about the new season of my favourite guilty pleasure: American Idol.
There are apparently lots of changes this year, most notably the departure of Nigel Lythgoe and the addition of a fourth judge at the table, but also some minor ones, like an emphasis on the "inspirational" singers in the audition rounds rather than the trainwrecks.
In case you've been checking back over the past six months or so, you'll notice that my countdown ticker on the right side of this page has almost come up.
Yes, friends, next week, Mrs. High Lord and I are going on a Caribbean cruise. Have no fear, I'm only missing the first week of the auditions rounds and my trusty DVR will record those episodes (along with The Big Bang Theory and the last half-season of Battlestar Galactica).
When I get back, I'll be sure to regale you with tales of my vacation, pictures of food and all the Idol you can stomach from now until May. Plus DWTS when it returns in March.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and that this year's Idol will bring back everything that was good about the show, incorporate everything that makes Rock Star a better competition and jettison all of the garbage (viewer phone calls: I'm talking to you).
Check back around MLK Day!

I hear they're bringing back the wildcard round too! Not excited about this season, but I hope I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope the rumor about fewer audition weeks is true.
Enjoy your cruise. Am looking forward to the food pix.
I wish I could take a cruise and skip the audition rounds. But since I'm suffering here in subzero temps, I might as well pile on the agony by recapping the early shit!
Love your blog Dave - keep it coming. i look forward to reading you throught this idol season. enjoy your cruise!
