Excited for American Idol?

I used to watch American Idol, however, after season four everything seemed the same and I lost interest. Watching Simon and Paula bicker got old and predictable. Personally ever since I heard Ellen would be hosting I have wanted American Idol to start sooner. I can just imagine what kind of witty comments Ellen will come up with. I can almost guarantee that she will dance to some of the idol hopefuls singing. I will most likely only watch the auditions. The auditions are all that interests me in the show. American Idol will be premiering in January 2010.
