The start of another season is here!
Still with a 4-judges format, but some new faces joining 'Yo Dawg' Randy - Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban.
I'm hoping these judges work better than the last lot...
According to the TV schedules, the next episodes on 5* after tonight are as follows:
Friday - 10pm
Saturday - 5.05pm and continuing at 7pm and 8pm
Sunday - 1pm
It's not clear whether tomorrow's and Satuday's will be the next set of auditions or a repeat of tonight's.
I like Keith Urban so I'd like to think he'll offer some good advice - I don't think he can do any worse than Steven Tyler
Let's hope for some good auditionees.....with a few freaks thrown in for good measure

I'm already annoyed with the Nicki/Mariah bickering.
Keith Urban is about as bland, ineffectual and irrelevant as I'd expected him to be. Mariah seems to be smarting simply from having Nicki in the same room as her. And whenever Nicki as much as blinks, Mariah is completely eclipsed. It seems a massive gamble for them to leave so much of the bickering in, especially as it often impinges on the most important thing - the actual auditions. I do think there's merit and sincerity at the root of it all, but I can also see people switching off in their droves because of the bitching and antics (primarily from Nicki).
Not impressed by the ladies so far - Nicki is like a cartoon character and Mariah is doing us a favour by just being on the show.
28 people shown singing & getting through. 24 people shown singing & having their name shown. 4 people (traced by their road to hollywood videos) shown singing but no name tag.
Caught up with AI yesterday - even at this early stage, I'd say that a female will win this year.
So many good singers going through!
I'm loving Mariah and Keith so much more than Jennifer & Steven, but to be honest, I think it could do without Nicki, I've had enough of her already!
I'd get rid of Nicki the Mouth and get Tyler back before the series crumbles .
I agree - I wish she would breakout of the show! I did think that this week they had settled down a bit though.
I don't understand why they seldom show the bad auditions - surely at the audition stage this is what we watch the programme for (certainly I do).
It amazes me how some singers come across as average on the TV but the panel suddenly think are incredible - perhaps the sound on the TV is different?
Was there more to Nicki and Mariah's argument than was broadcast? I was expecting a screaming match!
Tell me about it I dont even want to watch the show any more and I have been a fan of AI from season one.
There will be a lot of acts to weed out quickly in Hollywood.
Me too. I don't think Nicki is to blame. The whole show is missing something? They spend far too long with the video segments then us getting to see the contestants audition.
I am finding myself fast forwarding most of the time. There is not one contestant that i have seen that appeals which has never happened before. Next week is Hollywood week, I hope I get to see someone there that interests me.
Many year ago I used to like watching wrestling, but then the programmes became all about the stories and there was hardly any time left for actual wrestling. It seems to be the way that Americans like their shows to go.
