Well the new season is off and running. New Judge Kara Dioguardi seems to be trying to prove herself. She tends to agree with most everything that Paula Abdul had to say and not much of what Simon Cowell did. I guess the contestants only need 2 "yes's" to go on. Not sure I really like that. It seems to be a little less controversial. They still seem to be a happy family though. Like a five year reunion, or should I say an 8 year reunion.
