Welcome 2012

  It's that time of year again.  Auditions are over and Hollywood round is beginning.  My brother Brett has organized an America Idol Fantasy League the past couple of years.  With a growing family including a new born baby boy, I've wrangled control out of his hands and am taking over.  So now it's Brett and Brian's AIFL!  I hope all the folks from the previous years can join and we can find some new blood.  Feel free to invite your friends, family, enemies, anyone.  
  Any one is welcome to join, but beware, this is serious business.  It's a lot of fun, but it does take a bit of commitment and dedication.  Every week on Thursday, BEFORE the results show you will need to submit your elimination guesses. We will be doing some bonus questions (but not weekly)
  There's no entrance fee and no prize, other than bragging rights.  


Join the league now by following the blog and leaving a comment on this post with your answer to our first bonus question.  


The semifinals and live performances start on Feb 28th.  Song choice is always such a big topic on the show.  Before that show pick any 5 songs.  Through out the entire season, if one of your songs is sung by a contestant, you will get 50 bonus points for each song.
