Idol goes wild: A top 13 (Anoop, Matt, Megan, Jasmine make it)

March 4, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Time for wild card night on American Idol, something we haven’t seen for years. Of course, it’s something we wouldn’t need to see now if Idol hadn’t foolishly messed with its semifinal format for season eight. Ryan is blabbing about the power of redemption and tenacity, or some such nonsense. What it boils down to…

The good news: Tatiana Del Toro is gone

March 4, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Let’s look on the bright side of tonight’s wild, wild wild card show. Tatiana is gone. Finally. For good this time. But not before delivering so much crazy that Idol couldn’t fit last night’s show into its one-hour time slot. The bad news: Idol continues to bend, bend, bend the rules to accommodate its favorite…

Idol semifinals week 3: Lil, Ju’Not, Kristen deserve the spots

March 3, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

I guess we call that the week singing didn’t matter. Or maybe the week the judges had wax in their ears. Or the week they had already decided who their favorites were — surprise, surprise — and it didn’t matter how well or how poorly they sang. How else do you explain what we just…

Idol Semis Week 3: Song by song grades

March 3, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Here we go. Week three of the semifinals. Voters’ last chance to choose who they want to see in the finals. I’m expecting strong performances from the gals tonight. I’m expecting Scott MacIntyre to breeze through among the guys. But when it all boils down to one song, anything can happen. Hey, that’s why we…

The wild card round, minus Jamar and Bikini Girl

March 2, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

At one point, Bikini Girl Katrinia Darrell had delusions of returning for this year’s wild card round on American Idol. Apparently, she can forget it. Since the march-to-the-chair episode, message board posters have been lobbying for the return of Jamar Rogers during the wild card round. Apparently, they can forget it. (Jamar, by the way,…

Idol semifinals week 3: The predictions

March 2, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Ready for Ladies’ Night on Idol? That’s my prediction for Tuesday — that we’ll have the first semifinal round in which the gals outperform the guys. In one corner, we have four females who have already made independent CDs in one form or another. And that group doesn’t even include Lil Rounds, the most highly…

Idol’s new format: The Problems, Part 3

March 1, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

And now I continue my crusade to convince the creators of American Idol that the changes to this year’s semifinal format are contemptible. Folly that should never again be foisted upon the show’s faithful followers. Call it: “Why I Hate Idol’s New Format, Part III: Basic Math.” What does math have to do with Idol’s…
