Auditions for American Idol VI start today . This year the show has a new component - a separate SONGWRITING contest - open to anyone, not the singers. They want us to write the songs the winners will sing:

American Idol 6 will include a songwriting competition; the winner’s song will be performed by the finalists

American Idol 6 will include a songwriting competition, and that parallel contest winner’s song will be performed by the two finalists.

Other “top songs may also be performed in a Fox special by former ‘Idols’ and finalists,” according to the Los Angeles Times, which reveals the news in a profile of the show’s creator, Simon Fuller. This new “twist that not only will add an intriguing element to the series competition, but also help solve a problem that has plagued the competition since its 2002 debut,” according to the paper.

Fuller says finding the song is “a thankless task,” so now they’ll just let America write the song. In other words, deflect the blame onto the people. At least it probably can’t get any worse than the two awful songs performed by the American Idol 5 finalists.

There are no details about the specifics of the contest yet, but the LA Times reports that “[a]nyone can compete to write a tune that will be sung by the two finalists.”

Well, it is not like they don't have a lot of "former idols" out there now.

And the AI addiction starts again for me tonight. I don't miss a show & plan the rest of my personal life around it - & gosh forbid anyone try to call me during the show - I won't answer & if someone else answers I'll tell em to tell the caller I'll call them back after my show.

Can't believe it's time to start this show up again already. I usually have a hard time getting into the first few weeks though. I really get addicted when it moves into the Hollywood rounds.

I know what you mean Charm, I think the auditions take way too long, they should recap them in one night and then get straight to Hollywood.

Ok, here in the Northwest, we are seeing a video of a Seattle TV Station's interview with Paula Abdul. And, well, I have to say that she does little to quell the rumors from last year. It is on Youtube.com. Not sure if this link will work but I will try it.

This first chick is giving me a nervous breakdown already. Paula looks bored and unhappy.

Why did they bother to give the crying girl so much time, even her back story?
