The eighth season of American Idol kicked off last night and we get the sense that Paula Abdul isn’t going to be the only judge that will bicker back and forth with the always outspoken Simon Cowell. New judge Kara DioGuardi seems to be a bit of a spit fire too.
Show host Ryan Seacrest may be feeling a slight bit embarrassed today. The final performer of the evening was a blind young man named Scott MacIntyre, who got one of the golden tickets signifying that he will advance to Hollywood.
Congratulating Scott, Ryan then held up his hand to give the contestant a high five, forgetting that he was blind. We feel for Ryan. It was a very uncomfortable moment. What was probably a 2 second span felt like an eternity from our vantage point.
