The Zen of "Have To"

The Zen of "Have To"
My "Have To" yesterday was quite mild. ... I had to watch American Idol. I wasn't going to...but I had to.  I wanted to see how the new panel did.  For my opinion, I liked it.  I like the kinder, milder approach.  Jennifer was easy to watch and Steve was quirky.  The real "proof in the pudding" will be the contestants they put together for the show. I have found the last few years would have been a complete yawn without Simon because the contestants were not engaging, exciting even entertaining. So can it now be about the contestants not the judges. you "Have To" tell me what you think.
