No, that's what I mean, Lexie. So much is written about Idol each week - peeps don't seem to be bothered at all by Steven's behavior. If Idol had received complaints you would think that news would have gotten out. That's why I think the apology will be in fun.

Probably an apology for his use of the english language in some of those weird phrases that come out of his mouth!

I believe it's going to be the same as the spoof on Paula's 'sex' scandal of a couple of years ago when they turned it into Simon in love with himself.

I think Steven Tyler has added the much needed spark to AI. He's fun to watch and knows his stuff as well.

Jimmer - I have read a few tweets that say it was some sort of joke. Won't see the show for another 2+ hours though.

Thanks Bonza. I'll be watching in a few minutes (I have it recording) but I was curious.

I love it again. I was getting a little tired of Simon also, even though I have always liked him the best of the panel. He was brutally honest at times, but the last couple of years, sometimes he did not really make a lot of sense with his criticisms. I love Steven Tyler. I think he is kind, genuine, and absolutely hilarious. The new panel just blew me away. I was so surprised. I think it is goint to be terrific. Kitt, I think the apology about Stephen's behvior was meant to be a joke. Remember last week when he used the "_____a duck" line that they had to beep. And then the very first contestant this week was named Muck and he asked him if he knew what it rhymed with. Sort of like, well, we tried. I found my guy to root for. His name is John Wayne Schultz from Karnes City, Texas. That is a little town, and I mean a little town, about 50 miles south of San Antonio. It is also about 5 miles from the town of Kennedy, where I lived and taught for 30 years. Thought his voice was solid, but don't know how far he will go. But he is very genuine and easy to like. I want to hear him some more. And his looks and manners are not going to hurt him. I remember him as a kid singing at the local Town and Country Days celebrations.

Dlkuhn4, the audition rounds have started. Allitex, I thought he was great too...most impressed with the "who" he is than anything else, but his voice is nice too. Loved the family!

I like that they appear to be focusing more on the good singers who make it through, rather than the weirdos that just want to be on camera. At least, it feels that way to me.

The "apology" was a little tongue in cheek, don't you think? I thought it was hilarious. It was like "we're kind of apologizing but then again maybe not." Steven Tyler is who he is and he's probably not going to change much...nor should he. That's why they have the bleep button! His bleeps are certainly less common than the ones they have shown by the eliminated bad contestants in the past...American Idol surely has a patent on their bleep button, they have used it so much over the years.

As a fan of Aerosmith for the last 30 years, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that those who weren't crazy about Steven Tyler being a judge are now embracing him.

Well, I knew who Steven Tyler was but I knew nothing about him as a person. Same with Jennifer Lopez. But I like both of them very much. I am impressed with their kindness. I imagine some of that may get tested over the years if they stay with it, but right now they are refreshing. But I think the thing that impresses me the most is that with both of them, it is all about the contestants. I did not always get that about the panel in the past. Sometimes I got the feeling that they were "starring" in a show and the contestants were just the background for them. I don't get that feel from Stephen or Jennifer at all.They are both strong people with confidence in their own opinions. I am really liking it. It makes me happy because I was afraid it was going to be awful without Simon. Quite frankly, I have not missed him much, nor his snarky comments. Although I think Randy thinks he needs to be the Simon role. I hope he just does his own thing and does not try to be like Simon.

For me, I remember distinctly the first time I heard "Dream On," and I decided then and there that I was in love with whoever was singing it. I was in 7th grade. In any event, it was a couple years before I finally saw them in concert and at the time, I totally changed my mind and decided he was ugly! Well, I'm 40 now and I have totally changed my mind, and have developed a huge crush all over again! Loving him.

After the first two, maybe three years of AI, I stopped watching. No interest in the judges and Seacrest, et al. As Allie said, AI starred them, not the contestants. I've been watching and enjoying since the start of this season. I'm now ready for the Hollywood auditions to start.
