I have been asked by many, “Why do you watch American Idol?” I didn’t for a long time. I tuned in this season to catch a glimpse of the new judges and see the over all format. The next thing I knew, I was watching it again. What drew me to it was something I didn’t expect. Steven Tyler. Even though he is a rock legend, he has gotten me to see him in a different light. Not only is he very funny and candid, he is no snob to his success. We all know that the judges have security right off camera in case someone gets a little squirrely but Steven Tyler has opened himself to so many contestants by breaking that boundary of the judging table. He has initialed so many interactions with these people that respect and admire him and he has given back. I have seen fans get hugs, pinch his butt, and get kisses. All done with sincerity and all in good fun and honesty. I watch the show for what he may do next. I don’t know,…rock star or comedian? Either way, he’s entertaining as hell. He is a great example of success not going to ones head. Thanks Steven. I look forward to watching again.
