Because the edited version of a judge can be completely different from the live version of a judge, I usually try not to form any opinions about judges prior to the live shows.

Randy is, um, the same (nothing to write home about, dawg), and I couldn't care less about Mariah. That said, Keith is a breath of fresh air and most definitely my favorite judge this season (if not ever). He was born to woo me with his accent judge!
The good news is that American Idol is still crushing its competition.
