    • Season 8 of American Idol won’t hit your television screens until January 2009, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t news to share. A few weeks ago, Nigel Lythgoe left the behind the scenes workings of the series to focus fully on the other reality hit So You Think You Can Dance. There has been a promise of changes made to this season eight. The series is still going strong, but they did lose some viewers the last couple of years. They are hoping to gain those back. The first of the changes made for this next season was announced on Monday.

      A new judge has been added to the mix. None of our current judges are leaving or taking any time off. Not this season anyway. Simon, Randy and Paula will still be around to give their thoughts of the contestants, but now a fourth voice is being added to the mix. That voice belongs to Grammy nominated songwriter Karo DioGuardi. She has worked with the likes of Christina Aguilera and former American Idol Kelly Clarkson. This adds some more girl power to the panel, which is something Paul Abdul is thrilled about.

      As a fan of American Idol, I’m excited to see what other changes are in store for this upcoming season. As I have mentioned on this blog previously, some changes are definitely needed. The opening weeks of the series with all the auditions is one change I would like to see. These need to be shortened or cut entirely. The real meat of the competition starts with Hollywood week, and after tuning in for the first week of auditions, I usually tune out until the series hits Hollywood. I know I’m not the only one.

      I really enjoyed the top 5 American idol group song last night. It was sad to see Aaron Kelly got rid of however I think the others were better so he had to go!

      I really loved the final 5 Idol group song last night. It was heartbreaking to see Aaron Kelly removed but I do believe the other singers were better singers hence he needed to go!

      I saw American Idol winner Lee has just signed up to RCA records. Can’t wait to get his new album.

      I really think Donald Trump would be a much better American Idol judge than Harry Connick Jr. - Trump is not afraid to say what he thinks and can be as outspoken as Simon Cowell.

      I really think Donald Trump would be a much better American Idol judge compared with Harry Connick Jr. - Trump is not at all afraid to express what he thinks and can be as outspoken as Simon Cowell.
