A new season of Richardson Idol premiered last night from Mohawk Elementary School, hosted by the JJ Pearce HOA. This season there are thirteen fresh contestants vying for the grand prize, a seat on the Richardson City Council.

Let's just say this is a public service to help candidates shape their campaign message to overcome false impressions. That's it -- a public service.
After the jump, let's get busy with first impressions.
