Idol needs to balance the judging panel to maximize the audience. I will be happy if Adam is a judge, I will be happy if he is not a judge. I just want him to keep singing. ETA If Adam retires, I will be sad. That is the only thing that would make me sad. ETA 2: Let's not beat up Enrique -- especially on the gay issue. Since he is probably bisexual. I agree that keeping Adam singing is the most important thing, and it is the main reason I want Idol for him. |

In recent years, Enrique couldn't sell records or downloads. What put him back on itunes and Top 40 radio was Pitbull. Pitbull also restarted J-Lo's music career. Maybe Pitbull needs to be a judge on Idol. I am sure Idol would LOVE to have gotten Pitbull. Still 50/50 regarding Adam's chances. Enrique is a real possibility if they could afford him; and with the news of Bieber showing up on X-Factor, they may just be willing to do it. I think the networks should just cancel all entertainment programming and have on-going Bieber feeds. |

I want Idol for Adam because he wants it. Also because the exposure and visibility would be invaluable for his career.
But would both Adam AND Enrique be required by Idol to clear their calendars and just stand by and wait for the decision? That doesn't strike right for me. Now I'm wondering if Adam's coming home at this time has nothing to do with Idol at all. ???

I am pretty excited about PLL. This is the kind of promo that can help a spot on a young, cool show.

It might have been that all the urgency was on our side, and he was just coming home just to be coming home. He did say he was working on secret stuff for September so something has to be going on however. |

It's not racism. It's TV demographics. Racism would be implying one was better than the other. This is more of a quota so Idol can hit key demographics. It is racism in the sense that "people only relate to their look alikes". I dont. I bet you dont and I bet Adam doesnt (though come to think of it he picked a scandinavian throwback to his past!) Its like having balck people date black people on tv shows or white people date white people. This is racism even if it seems normal to some people. It's demographics and facing the reality of the world you live in. idol is obviously trying to keep the demographic they have while adding to it. They have a country star and a diva because their demo skews older and conservative. These two are the "right" side of the panel. Minaj is young, black, urban, and viable in the present tense. They've never had anyone like her before, and she should widen the viewership. She's on the "left." Usually, if a show like this has four spots and two of them go to the right with one to the left, then the remaining spot will go to a "center." Adam is not a center, but Enrique is. Would the already conservative demographic rebel if faced with an urban star and a gay male, not to mention a country star who is an Aussie? However, Enrique is a foreigner, as is Urban, and both men speak with accents. How will that go over with the conservative audience? Toss a coin. |

Idol is important enough that they are delaying the single release to possibly coincide with an announcement. It is hard to get better exposure.
