Let me just put it out there – I love American Idol. I love watching the kids come in, hearts on sleeves, nervous, hoping against hope they will get their “golden ticket to Hollywood”.

I’ve already talked about my immigration to NBC’s The Voice from FOX’s American Idol, but I’m still watching the latter and as The Voice moves out of those awesome auditions and into a format far more similar to Idol‘s Top 10/11/12/13 format, the competition between the two is getting at least a little bit closer.
