Last week, we had the season 11 premiere of American Idol, which I didn't watch since I was still recovering from the finale. In about two weeks, we will have the season 2 premiere of The Voice coming on right after the Super Bowl (or at 10 PM eastern time, should the Super Bowl run too long). While none of the finalists in season 1 have experienced success like Idol contestants have, they were a lot better than Idol's season last year. When I compared the two together, I saw that Idol had a lot more flaws that I recognized years back but forgot about. While I'm Team Voice right now, I still listen to some of the Idol alumni since I have watched them previously. Suddenly, considering how myself and a lot of other people wished that a certain selection of Idol finalists from last season had gone further, I thought the reason that they ultimately lost was because they were on the wrong show. The same goes to a lot of past Idol contestants. …

It's not really my one-year anniversary on Last.fm as I've been around since 2006, but that was with my old account. This account celebrates its one-year anniversary today though.

The interesting thing is that out of my current top 50 in that list there's 21 artists that I didn't even know about or didn't listen to a year ago. Also, right now there's 8003 different artists in my library. Wow. I do spend a lot of time listening to Last.fm radio, people's library and Spotify, but 8000 artists is still more than I would have expected! I guess that just goes to show how interested I am in finding new music and to taking new artists to heart. :)

Here's to an equally interesting second year of scrobbling under this profile!

Top 50 with the number of plays for each one as they stand after the first year of scrobbling with this username. New artists from this year are marked with an asterisk.
