American Idol, The Day After: Hollywood Week Dish

By | Reality Rocks – Thu, Feb 16, 2012 5:21 PM EST

Last night, "American Idol's" Hollywood Week finally got going after a lame false start, and today my "Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield and I are still feeling a little more excited about Season 11 than we were before. Lately we've been investing all of our enthusiasm into "The Voice," of course--but after watching the standout Hollywood Week solo auditions of Jen Hirsh, Creighton Fraker, Reed Grimm, Joshua Ledet, Shannon Magrane, and others, we have renewed hope for "Idol."

And hopefully in future "Day After" episodes, Matt will start to agree with me about how totally awesome Heejun Han is.

Do you think Heejun rules? Watch Matt and I discuss Heejun and other "Idol" hopefuls above, and feel free to post your own comments on the message board below.
