Michael Sarver, Season 8, Season 8 finals
Idol finals week 3: A surprise in the bottom three

March 26, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

I was not a fan of Michael Sarver’s performance of “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” on Wednesday night. But I am a fan of Michael Sarver. I mean, the guy seems so genuinely likeable. Like when he comforted Lil Rounds Thursday night, telling her to sit down, knowing he was the more likely candidate to…

Idol finals week 3: The song-by-song grades

March 25, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Here’s comes some Motown. Which might mean we’re in for a special night on Idol. After all, way back when Hollywood Week started, Idol posted video interviews with each contestant. They were asked what type of music they prefer. None of this year’s finalists expressed enthusiasm about singing Grand Ole Opry tunes, last week’s theme….

Wacky time again on American Idol. Paula gives Simon crayons and a coloring book. Simon colors Paula, giving her a black mustache. Meanwhile, Idol voters weigh the fate of the final 10 contestants on a Motown night that only occasionally lived up to its potential. Adam Lambert again proved he’s the Idol to beat. Lil…

And then there were three. Three female contestants, that is. Now that voters have given the boot to Jasmine Murray (not surprisingly) and Alexis Grace (quite surprisingly) in consecutive weeks, this year’s Idol is starting to remind me of season three. Except in reverse. Season three was the Fantasia year. Remember the Fantasia year? Back…

The prospect of a drive of more than six hours was not going to keep Tracey Hague from watching David Cook perform live for the first time. Nor was a broken tibia, suffered when she slipped on ice a few weeks back. Tracey couldn’t snare tickets to a Cook concert scheduled for New Haven, Connecticut,…

An interview with David Cook

Simon Cowell summed up the 2008 American Idol finale with two words: “a knockout” — for David Archuleta. Funny thing though, Idol voters saw it differently. And when the season seven winner was announced the next night, David Cook was the one receiving congratulations as the confetti fell all around him. A year later, his…

Whatever became of little ol’ Kellie Pickler, the small-town girl from Albemarle, N.C.? First, she becomes a celebrity spokeswoman for the Sexy Hair ad campaign that kicks off next month in Cosmopolitan, Allure and the like.
