Love it or hate it American Idol changed the way we watched TV. Starting with the low budget season that crowned superstar Kelly Clarkson to the final season that saw Trent Harmon take the final title over judge and fan favourite La’Porsha Rene millions of Americans, and Canadians tuned in week after week to cheer for their favourite. But what should’ve been the biggest season in 15 years was one that, for me anyway, seemed to struggle out of the gate to get started.

I simply couldn’t bear the thought of watching Hollywood destroy Grease (like the sequels weren’t bad enough).
