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. Strange show opening: Simon took on Ryan over last night's … Continue reading American Idol results 03/17/10 →

Four more contestants - two females and two males - were eliminated from Season 9 of American Idol. Slowly, we are getting to the better part of the season. The first elimination was Katelyn. As I tweeted last night, I think she chose the right song - "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King. … Continue reading American Idol Results 03/11/10 →

Four more contestants - two males and two females - were eliminated from the ninth season of American Idol tonight. Since the guys went first this week, they went first for tonight's elimination. John Park, who has a nice voice but seems to always pick the wrong song, was the first one to go. Joining … Continue reading American Idol results 03/04/10 →

I have to admit: this has got to be the least talented bunch of contestants yet. Yeah, I know the judges keep saying it's the most talented, but I disagree. Out of the thousands of people that auditioned, these are the best 24? I don't think so. Maybe two each of the women and men … Continue reading American Idol Results 02/25/10 →

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. As I watched the selection shows last night and tonight, it was obvious to me that a portion (the majority?) … Continue reading American Idol Season 9: Top 24 →

There has been a lot of talk on the internet about who voted for Kris Allen, this year's winner, and why. Until now, though, no one disputed the vote itself. A New York Times article might change all that. AT&T, one of the biggest corporate sponsors of “American Idol,” might have influenced the outcome of … Continue reading Did Kris Allen really win? →

Kris Allen! In what can only be described as one of the biggest surprises of the season, Kris Allen beat out judges' favorite Adam Lambert last night. The finale ran a little over two hours, with appearances by a number of guest artists, among them The Black Eyed Peas, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah and KISS. … Continue reading American Idol results 05/20/09: And the winner is →

The two finalists for the title of American Idol each took the stage three times tonight. The first song was of their own choosing and neither Adam nor Kris disappointed. Adam, who lost the coin toss, went first with "Mad World." Kris, sitting at the piano, did a wonderful interpretation of  "Ain't No Sunshine." The … Continue reading American Idol 05/19/09: The finale →

I was on vacation last week so I didn't post about American Idol. Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't watch the shows 😉 I was really disappointed that Alison was voted off. Danny did a horrible job on the genre (rock), while she excelled. I'm joining those who think the show is rigged. Tuesday … Continue reading American Idol 05/13/09 results: the final two →

I was a bit busy watching the debate so I missed the airing of AI. Of course, I have TiVO so all's good 😉 Besides, I got to fast-forward thru the commercials and any dumb parts of the show (like the food fight). Like last season, the remaining five were split into two groups with … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/29/09: elimination →
