Even Idol Chatter can only take so much of American Idol … so here is the good news and the bad news
about that …
First, the good…tonight’s is another two-hour edition (of course, there will be 5 hours
of commercials!), but Thursday night starting at 8 (unlike a week ago), the show will only be an hour! (amen and raise a toast with your can of Coke)…. And that will be ditto for the shows on Jan. 30 and 31.
Now the bad…when we reach the semifinalists round – phase two (first week in March), AI will be on three (count ‘em 3!) nights. March 5 (8-10 p.m.), March 6 (8-10 p.m.) and March 7 (8-9 p.m.). That’s almost as much total air time as the Super Bowl pregame show…
We’ll try to keep you updated on the sked each week, but here is a quick list:
Audition shows: through Jan. 31
Hollywood rounds: Feb. 6-14 (last show of this round is when they reveal the top 40)
Semifinalists rounds Phase one (from Las Vegas): Feb. 20-28
Phase two (you get to vote): March 5-7 (last show of this round is when they reveal the top 10
Finalist rounds start March 13 with the Top 10 performing live…
Please contain your excitement…after all you do recall last season’s No. 10 finisher, don’t you? Does Idol Chatter? No…
