Anyone watching this year? I'm hoping that AI (or maybe even The Voice) can fill the void that X Factor left with its horrible inaugural season.

Too early to call AI and the audition weeks are usually pretty lame anyways, but it's pretty annoying how they have been dedicating 1/4 of each show or more to a single contestant. I liked the format they used to have where they'd show short clips of many contestants vs. long clips of just a few.
