American Idol results 03/17/10

Although it was St. Patrick’s Day, Irish eyes failed to smile on one contestant in Wednesday night’s results show. The remaining  twelve competitors took on tunes from The Rolling Stones – not my favorite band – on Tuesday’s show, and some fared better than others.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

To my fellow Irishmen, I hope you enjoy the day and not too much of the green beer that inevitably flows (If you do indulge, have one for me ) And like every year, here are a few words of wisdom.

American Idol Season 9: Top 24

Finally! After what feels like the longest introductory series of programs I’ve ever seen, we have the Final 24*Idol contestants.  Some of those chosen were performers I don’t even recall seeing in the preliminary rounds.
