I have a dream, Idoloonies. And in that dream, the Jan. 16 premiere of Idolatry would feature guest performances by Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino, Elliott Yamin, and the winners of Randy Jackson’s America’s Best Dance Crew, as well as a helicopter that would lift me from the roof of EW’s office building while I passionately debate the merits of Blake Lewis’s "You Give Love a Bad Name" with my colleague Kristen Baldwin. But since we don’t have that kind of budget (yet) — I am counting on you to make it happen, Congress! — you’ll have to settle for some homespun choreography and over-the-cubicle banter when Idolatry’s third season kicks off Jan. 16. Dawnie Walton, Annie Barrett, and I have been practicing our moves. In the Time Inc. cafeteria! Ch-ch-check it out!

What is the point of this column?
Oh, I SO cannot wait for Idolatry to return. The first month of Idol is stupid, but you guys make the loooong time waiting for the actual show to begin tolerable. Let’s go, Slezak, etal. (Oh, and I’m waiting for Cook’s goodbye song, assuming there is one.
)
Hey, did you hear that Sanjaya has a new behind-the-scenes AI memoir and also album coming out this month? I’m actually excited to see what he has to say.
Dawnie’s hair: universal WIN on all counts. I can’t wait to waste my time again!
It is about time Slezak! I have forgotten how much I meant Idolatry! You guys are hilarious!
The merits of You Give Love a Bad Name don’t need to be debated. One of the best idol performances ever.
If you guys would’ve been sway-botting in front of the lunch counter…
I heart you guys.
Hello all! I am so effing(hate/have to) excited about the new season of Idolatry. Idol may suck but Idolatry never will. I feel that this is going to be a big season for them. I have been putting positive vibrations out for a soul singer. Not since Fantasia has an Idol been worthy of the throne. I want to see someone that deserves it, a true entertainer. A stage presence that only Carly had last year. Maybe next season it’ll be me.
I don’t watch Idol, but I never miss Idolatry.
wait… so dawnie’s back! horray!!!!
I’ve been looking forward to Idolatry just as much as Season 8 of AI! Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with (and I bet Elliott Yamin would love to come visit your offices — well, I’d love it, anyway)!!
Ah, I love you guys so much. You’re the only reason I’d get invested in Idol again. You’re far more entertaining than the actual show.
