It's January 2009 and a new American Idol season has begun. What do you think? I have some questions for you:
How is new judge, Kara, doing?
Is the tension between Kara and Simon real or staged?
Are the judges nicer this year?
What about the proposed changes to the show, like the judges' wild card contestant selections?

Julie's hopes for this 2009 season -- the "vote for the worst' group goes away; it's more interesting than last year's show!
