Australian Idol.

The new season of Australian Idol started last night. I haven't really watched a season of Idol in almost 2 years, but Delta and Brian are guest judging this season, so of course I had to watch!
I used to be a major fan of American Idol...honestly, I just think they have better talent than we do. I've seen both Kelly and Jordin live, and they're amazing, but I'm not really a fan of anyone who has come out of the Australian version. Anyway I kind of wonder how on Earth it's going to work having the performance shows and results on the same night, and who is going to replace Kyle? The radio incident was certainly unfortunate, but not really his fault. Maybe the show shouldn't have had that segment, certainly the mother of the girl involved didn't handle the situation well...but what did Kyle do wrong? I'm not a fan of his at all, but I think 'the punishment should fit the crime.' He had a split second to choose how to react to that, and while his reaction may not have been the best, it wasn't so terrible either. Maybe people are just using it as an excuse to hate him? I don't know. By the way, I think it totally sucks that Paula's leaving American Idol! She was such a big part of what made that show, and it will never be as good without her! I'm not the fan I used to be, but I think she does have a lot of good qualities that will be missed.
