Just getting a headstart for tonight's show. Anyone else as excited as I am?

"HITMACHINE" JOINS IDOL MAKER

Legendary Songwriter Lamont Dozier To Appear As Expert Industry Judge on 'AMERICAN IDOL'


Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Lamont Dozier will join the Top 12 Finalists LIVE in-studio as AMERICAN IDOL presents "Evening with Motown" Tuesday, March 11 (8:00-10:00 PM ET Live/PT Tape Delayed) on FOX. The finalists will perform songs from the extensive library of Holland/Dozier/Holland. Dozier will join Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell in-studio as an industry judge throughout the evening, offering his praises and critiques of the Top 12 finalists' performances as they vie to become the next "American Idol."

When it comes to songwriters, few people have the credentials of Lamont Dozier. A major part of the success of Berry Gordy's Motown record label, Dozier was part of the "hitmachine" Holland/Dozier/Holland. Along with brothers Brian and Eddie Holland, the trio was responsible for some of the biggest hits of the 60's, writing classic Motown songs for the likes of the Supremes, the Four Tops, the Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and Marvin Gaye. Some of those songs include: "Baby Love," "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "You Can't Hurry Love," "Reach Out, I'll Be There" and "Stop! In the Name of Love."

Dozier is the first of many guests who will appear live over the next few weeks as America decides who will become the next "American Idol."

Yes, I am excited. This is my current favorite in this time of reality glut. The Family and Survivor are tied for second. I'll be back tonight.

Any guesses as to who is going to sing what Motown song? The list is long and the songs are wonderful. I know at least a few of them will do great with the song material. :0)

I'm pretty geeked about tonite - maybe I can tackle dh and steal the laptop so I can hang with y'all and cheer for CLAY!

We vote for who we want off, right? Not our favorite.

Yay Weener - if my bf can stand to watch with me while I pay no attention to him, but all my attention to the tv and TVClubhouse, then your hubby can too! He actually sits beside me on the couch, watches the show, comments on the performers, and once each night comments on how he just doesn't "get" my web family!!! He's a non-web person! :)

Fruit - NO!!!! You vote for your favourite, because it's the person with the least amount of votes who doesn't advance, unless they've changed everything from last year!

No Fruit, we vote for our favorite. The person with the least amount of votes is eliminated.

I'm excited for tonight. I think this is easily my favorite reality show right now.

DJ lol; you 2 sound like me and hubs. He's usually on the laptop while I comandeer the remote and he only pays 1/2 attention to what I watch. American Idol, however, is different. He likes the show. I'll share his comments as well, because he's pretty goofy. Go Clay!

Apparently yes. There'll be 12 singers to battle it all, plus tons of commericials in between!

Tons and tons and tons of commercials, LOL!

oh yes, commercials and then product placements.. "cute" videos of the finalists driving, wearing, drinking, etc whatever the sponsors are hawking..

I hope they keep the family out of it from now on. They were very distracting. I also hope the contestants don't bad-mouth the judges like they've done the past few weeks.

I agree Pagal. I am tired of Simon getting pooped upon as well. Enough! Old tired stuff, besides I like the guy and enjoy his barbs.

I am ready. <<sits, ears up, beady eyes darting>>

I'm ready too and can't stand the wait! I have my diet coke and Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar ready and waiting too!!

I like Simon too. It totally irks me that certain contestants talked back to him the way they did. I thought I read that the producers told them to talk back? Totally wrong if you ask me. Simon's company will be awarding the contract to the ultimate winner - they should be glad and grateful for any advice that may help them win this thing.
