'American Idol': Nadia Turner Plays Judge
In her first EW.com column, the season 4 vet gives her take on performances by this year's top 8 boys
'THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL.'' I know that slogan oh so well.
I actually haven't watched AI much since I left the show. Looking back on my AI experience, I still can't believe it. It's a wonder to me that they call AI reality TV. The moment you reach top 24, the cameras are no longer behind the scenes to see the nerves, conversations, stress, tears, and relationships. This was beyond intense and very surreal to watch it on TV and know I had been there. WOW! Right there! It’s still crazy! In the middle of that stage...amazing!
Being that this was ''Boys Night,'' my responsibility on the show would have been to relax and just support the boys. Let’s be realistic: How do you relax knowing tomorrow is your night to shine? I actually spent most of this time taking in the boys’ critiques and trying to remember certain performances, 'cause I knew the boys were going to ask how it looked from my seat. During the commercial breaks, I would write down my lyrics over and over on a blank sheet of paper. I was known to forget lyrics in rehearsal and liable to create a whole new verse — improv was my specialty.
