I never knew much about Tyler before Idol and didn't follow him or Aerosmith. Well, I immediately fell in love with him. I so enjoyed the way that he was encouraging to the contestants when they showed potential but not enough to "Go To Hollywood" and his sense of humor was priceless. He was extremely charming and endearing. And that smile...to die for.
