Well, we’re 20 minutes into tonight’s results show, and we’re already getting some results. That might set an Idol record. But they’re starting off with the easy ones. Casey Carlson, gone. Stephen Fowler, gone. And now they’ve called Alexis to center stage. She’d better not be gone, or America got it wrong. Great news, Alexis…

Idol Semis Show 1: The recap

February 17, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Have I mentioned that I hate Idols’ new format for the semifinals? Have I mentioned how unfair it is to have so many of these semifinalists ousted after singing just one song?

Okay, here we go, live blogging on episode one of the semifinals. VoteForTheWorst.com posted a list of songs the contestants are supposedly going to sing tonight … one song per contestant. Man, I hope they’re wrong. This is a two-hour show. In Idol-land, a song lasts 1:30. One song per contestant would translate into 18…

7 reasons to hate Idol’s new format

February 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Longtime fans of American Idol are going to be stunned Tuesday to find out how differently the semifinal round will work this year. As for myself, I’m pretty sure the changes won’t be changes for the better. In recent years, 24 singers made it to the semis, 12 girls and 12 boys. Each week, all…

Idol contestants’ hidden talents

February 15, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

By MARK FRANKLIN Be thankful American Idol isn’t a talent show in which singing is forbidden. If it were, the surviving members of Team Compromise might reunite, with one yodeling while the other snaps his toes. Another contestant might pop out of a closet and promptly set the Idol stage on fire. The day after…
