American Idol fever is back for its 9th season and it seems that this will be bigger and better than the previous one.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of hopefuls gather in selected cities in the US to show the AI judges that they have the looks, the talent and the guts to be America's next big singing sensation. Sadly, only an exclusive number of contestants will make this prestigious cut and only one of them will be proclaimed American Idol number 9. Woohoo!

According to the US Nielsen, a steady 29.8 million people watched the 2-hour Idol premier last January 12, 2010, as compared to last year's 30.4 million viewers. The show dominated its time slot and proved that a talent search sprinkled with a little drama, fashion and honesty can really pull some strings.

I have been closely watching this show since my college days and it never fails to amaze me every single time. Seriously! This show produced some of the best performers I've heard and seen. Not to mention that it values raw, untapped talent that needs to be developed and shown to the world.

Let's take Kelly Clarkson as an example. I never thought she'd win Season 1 (I was actually betting on Justin Guarini. Hmph!). Plus, Jennifer Hudson's performance in Dream Girls earned her an Academy Award. And to think she didn't even made it to the top 3! Come on!






So far, I love Leah Laurenti. She's so pretty and the Jazz thing is very feisty!






And this definitely made my day! Pants on the ground, people!

So, who will be the next American Idol? We'll just have to wait and see! I can't wait! Yipee!

Oh! By the way, I love Victoria Beckham's elegance. Its classy and sexy at the same time!

Coffee, anyone?
