Over the years , I have become a fan of American Idol and this year promises to be a somewhat new experience….There’s been lots  of talk about which of the new judges will be stepping into the “Simon” and “Paula” roles, so I guess we’ll find out early on about that one…in the meantime , other changes include an updated set, faster elimination, online voting, original songs, theme week makeovers, possible music videos and faster music releases…oh by the way, Randy says there’ll be some change with him as well…tune in for the beginning of the new season of Idol in a couple of weeks…Lee
