And They're Off...

Last night, at the midway point of the coldest month of the year, American Idol made it's 2008 debut. Now in its 7th season, the juggernaut show stands to benefit from the ongoing writers' strike. Already, there are numerous news articles about the show, how it's in decline, what needs to happen to refreshen it and yada yada yada.

I will probably write about it again this year - it's more interesting than the presidential primaries!

Quick hits: Katherine McPhee, Taylor Hicks and Ruben Studdard have all been released from their recording contracts due to poor sales. Last year's winner, Jordin Sparks, hasn't exactly lit up the airwaves with her album release, though I believe she did debut at number 10 on the chart. And we haven't heard anything really, about any of the other contestants from season six.

Hopefully, there'll be no Clay Aiken appearance this year!
