American Idol Results 03/21/07

Last night's so-called "British Invasion" wasn't much of one. I was mostly disappointed with the performances of the contestants. I thought they all chose mostly safe, boring songs. My favorite, LaKisha, must have listened a bit too much to last week's comments about how controlled her voice was. Singing "Diamonds are Forever" instead of the … Continue reading American Idol Results 03/21/07 →

What politicians can learn from American Idol

My bud, bwana, has managed to juxtapose two of my favorite things - politics and American Idol - in his post with the above title. As someone who has both run for office and been a full time singer/musician, I can attest to the similarity between the two. Life is a stage. While bwana makes … Continue reading What politicians can learn from American Idol →

American Idol boots Brandon

Brandon Rogers, the back up singer, was voted off of American Idol tonight. For a guy with a decent voice, he chose a strange song. Actually, I knew all but one of the songs performed last night and while Brandon's performance was among the weaker ones, it certainly wasn't the worst. That honor belongs to … Continue reading American Idol boots Brandon →

American Idol Results 03/08/07

And we are down to twelve. Four more were voted off American Idol tonight. The first casualty of the night was Jared Cotter, who sang a bad rendition of Stevie Wonder's "If You Really Love Me." Guess he didn't get the memo about not trying to sing Stevie. Next to go was Antonella Barba. You … Continue reading American Idol Results 03/08/07 →

AI: Another four gone

Voted off the show tonight were Nick Pedro, Alaina Alexander, AJ Tabaldo, and Leslie Hunt. Nick is a crooner who dropped out during Hollywood Week last year. The guy has a beautiful voice, but probably just got lost in the crowd this year. Too many of the male vocalists are sweet-voiced and Nick just didn't … Continue reading AI: Another four gone →

American Idol results

Amy Krebs was quite forgettable, Haley Scranto was just a so-so singer, Rudy Cardenas had horrible enunciation and Paul Kim just picked the wrong song to sing. I really thought Sanjaya was going and was surprised that he was 4th among the boys. Guess he has a lot of teenage girl appeal - it certainly … Continue reading American Idol results →

Separating the women from the girls

LaKisha Jones just nailed it. Put the rest of those females on American Idol to shame. A tremendous voice, great presence. LaKisha is definitely the one to watch for the rest of the show. What a treat! Only one thing: she needs to lose the HIB. Technorati Tags: American Idol

Not an Idol post

OK, so Taylor Hicks is the new American Idol. Whatever. I predict he'll be a one-hit wonder and fade into the sunset. Oh, and with all the folks who were there tonight, where was Ruben? Fantasia? For me, the best 3 minutes of the show had to be when the real American Idol showed up. … Continue reading Not an Idol post →

Richmonder Yamin booted off Idol

In another life, I made my living singing six nights a week. (And I was a music major in college originally.) So I'm a big fan of American Idol (and thank goodness for Tivo 🙂 ) If this program had been around 20 years ago, I would have been in first line to audition. This … Continue reading Richmonder Yamin booted off Idol →
