I'm blowing this one off. Don't care for Arsenio Hall.

How funny.. I flipped to this show several times
and saw Jack and he was adorable and seemed so assured and sounded so sophisitcated too. I thought he was a judge all the time.. too bad!

What was Naomi Judd sitting on? Seemed her scores didn't match her words?

Oh well.. I wasn't watching it anyway..

I love Star Search but I don't like the panel of judges. Ben "what's his name" is the only one that seems to have some common sense. Naomi rubs me the wrong way....I was appalled at her very low vote and insensitivity to that one little girl singer. No wonder she started to cry! And Naomi's votes seemed so much lower than the others and her remarks harsh. Is she on an ego trip? And to think she'll be back EVERY week. I liked Jack tonight, he did great! Chaka Kahn was OK the night before, but she seemed kind of "spacey".

I really preferred the audience voing like they did on the old Star Search, but I guess they ditched that due to the internet voting.

I thought the contestants were better tonight than the night before. Except for the models, every category had one very good performer and the other person was pretty good too. I just don't think the models have been outstanding. I could take or leave either one.

I think they have told Naomi to be harsh, trying to have a female Simon. I have always liked her but she is rubbing me the wrong way with her comments. They should have picked some one else to be the 'Simon clone'

What does everyone think of Arsenio Hall? I think he is so terrible. He is not even funny and he cracks the stupidest jokes. I wish they would get a new host because I do enjoy this star search. I'd love to see Ed MacMahon back.

Ed MacMahon must be 100 by now, lol! I don't care for Arsenio either.

I am not watching this as intently as I did AI, but I'm glad I got to see those two amazing little girls sing, wow.

I wish Jack Osbourne was a permanate member of the judges panel.

I didn't watch AI so I didn't know about Simon. So he was as bad a Naomi, huh? I plan to watch the next AI. Hope it's as good as everyone thought the first one was.

I'd like to see Jack Osbourne take Naomi's place!

Arsenio is OK. I don't mind his stupid jokes and he seems to be very nice to the contestants, especially the kids. Ed MacMahon was good in his time, but I agree with Webkitty, he must be 100 now.

Jeep....you will love AI. Simon is worse than Naomi ever thought of being, but I love him. :)

Okay, after reading the posts I will have to watch now to see Naomi. Can't stand Arsenio. I heard someone on TV remark that the only thing they could say for Chevy Chase's talk show was that he made Arsenio look pretty good in comparison.

I really don't like Naomi. I feel like she uses her voting power to influence the outcome at times (giving out inflated scores of five stars to those she likes, and two stars to others). Her comments are strange (hasn't she given lower scores because something wasn't her "type" of music/comedy/whatever?) and sometimes mean (telling the little girl that she needs to get her braces off). I liked Simon on American Idol - his comments were generally *somewhat* in the vicinity of what most viewers were probably thinking, and (more importantly) he was funny. Naomi? Uh, not so much.

I'm not that impressed with the other female judge, either. She's more tolerable than Naomi, though. Ben's decent. I liked Jack quite a bit. And Chaka Kahn was alright...I think she also used her votes to impact the overall score a lot, but she didn't annoy me like Naomi does.

I like Arsenio's enthusiasm and energy, and he seems nice to the contestants. Some of the jokes are pretty bad, though. Cringe-worthy.

I feel *really* bad for the contestants who do much worse than their competition, by the way. As much as they dragged the eliminations out on American Idol, at least the contestants never got assigned an actual score. Seems more humiliating on Star Search (*especially* on this new version) somehow.

The little I saw of Naomi was not even remotely like Simon. Simon is direct and brutal but also accurate. Naomi's a wannabe. (and he's also adorable)

I was only impressed with Jack and since he won't be back, I won't either.

I'm looking forward to AI starting up again!! Jeep, you'll enjoy that, I bet.

I think Arsenio was a little better on the 2nd show, might be taking him a little time to hit his stride with the show. I watched his show all the time in the 90's and met him at a club, he was very nice. I think he will continue to get better each week.

As a mother who paid for a child's braces and saw the dramatic difference they made in her appearance, I resent that Naomi Judd would tell an impressionable child to get rid of her braces. I am taking someone's word for this as I did not see this myself. But if this is true, all I can say is, what an ignorant and insensitive remark! Naomi Judd had a talk show on some unknown network for a while. I caught it briefly and couldn't take much of it. She seemed to love the sound of her own voice and wouldn't let anyone else talk.

I'm going to watch this Star Search for awhile to see if it improves a bit. Naomi just ruins the whole thing for me. On AI, aren't all the people adults? So, they know what they're getting into and Simon can let loose? I'm OK with that, but Naomi being harsh to kids to the point that they cry is out of line. They could've picked better judges IMO.

That said, I can't wait for AI now. I've seen some advertisements on TV that show Simon and it looks great!

Did anyone else watch this tonight? I would like to vent about the models but what would be the point if no one watched and I have no one to be snarky with!

I watched...kind of (in between listening to a basketball game on the radio).

I watched, Abby, but only saw the voting part of the model segment. I was cooking dinner and decided I didn't care if I missed that part. Go ahead and snark away. Neither one impressed me during the 30 seconds I saw. :)

Abby, neither model was any good. Hubby thought the blond was cuter, but agreed that she stomped like she was squishing bugs rather than strutting or walking.

Ok, but this is just my opinion and we don't get many opportunities to go to fashion shows here. :)
My point is the blonde was dead on in EVERY way for a haute couture runway model. She had the walk down pat, perfect flat as a board body, that vacant look, just the whole deal, to me.

But maybe that is not the type of model they are looking for I don't know. I was just kind of shocked, and I thought she also had a look of confusion, like what?, that's not what I've been taught type of thing. On the other hand that could have just been her everyday look! LOL

This is the first time I watched and I missed the kids, which is what I really wanted to see! So I wanted to be snarky about something because I was ill about missing it.

This is long, just ignore me. :)

LOL, Abby. The kids were both cute, BUT, I really can't tell tones, pitches, when a singer is off or not....I can tell ya if I like them. The kids I liked....the guy singer was...I didn't like him, but I wasn't impressed with the lady either, lol.

The model part of the show I've always found boring and just sit through, so I'm usually not impressed with them,LOL.

What happened at the end of the show, it seemed everyone was confused on the singer vote. Then they say the guy won, how? I love Arsenio but he really needs to lay off the weed

Pamy - I think he said the guy won because the online voters picked him. Seems quite unfair to me. And the fact that they didn't rehearse how to handle a tie... well, they should be embarrassed.

This show is lame. I wish there was something else on to watch!

I agree Brenda. I bet they will have that girl back since it was unclear what to do. I thought she was pretty good

I thought it was pretty embarrassing they had no clue what to do in case of a tie. I did like the girl better than the guy.

How much longer is this show on?

Did anyone notice how Naomi was MUCH nicer last night? Especially to the kids. Think CBS got a lot of complaints about her being nasty and making the little girl cry last time?

I agree that the blonde model was best. It just doesn't add up.

Loved the comedians! Especially the lady!
