The "American Idol" auditons have been completed and 180 contestants are on their way to Hollywood. It will be interesting to see who makes the grade. As much as I enjoy the show, I have to say it has unfortunately, become more about who viewers pant for the most, rather than who is the best singer. Daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has joined the cast and has turned out to be a perfect fit for the show. That's minus sparing with Simon Cowell, of course.  I've seen some really talented young men and women on the show; and I've seen some not so talented individuals on the show as well.  Some really have got "it" as they say and some don't. I think some really get a kick out of seeing themselves on televison. That's the only logical explanattion for embarrassing themselves on national televison. The show will finally move to Hollywood next week and again, it will be quite interesting to see who finallly makes the grade.  I will definitely tune in to see how the shows goes for the season. I can't wait to see what's in store for viewers like myself.
