Idol finals week 6: Rough night for Lil and Matt G.

April 14, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Movie night on Idol. Quentin Tarantino night on Idol. The guy’s a legend. Ryan just told us so. And the movie director/producer/actor will serve as guest mentor for the performers this week. Meanwhile, there will be a change in Idol’s format tonight. Since, according to Simon, the girls talked too much last week, the show…

Idol finals week 6: Anoop Desai bounces back; Matt G. falls flat

April 14, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

So, when your reality TV show runs late in week five, what do you do in week six? Well, in American Idol land, you only allow half of the judges to critique each performer. Say what? This is progress? Or proof that American Idol was better off with three judges than four? I’m sorry ……

Ranking the remaining Idols

April 12, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Tuesday night, Idol brings back a Hollywood Night theme that we last saw in season three when Quentin Tarantino served as a guest judge rather than a guest mentor. It’s another of those pick-your-own-poison type of theme weeks. Every contestant should be able to find a song that fits their vocal style. Whether or not…

Catching up with Ricky Braddy, Jamar Rogers and others

Ricky Braddy, who got gypped not once, but twice, by Idol’s ridiculous semifinal format this season, has posted three songs on his MySpace page. They include his Idol wild card performance of “Superstition.” Listen to it, and you’re gonna ask yourself all over again: How could the judges not pick him for the finals? All…

Idol lucks out, thanks to Adam Lambert

April 9, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

So, Adam Lambert finally got his critiques Wednesday night. Of course, that was 22 hours after viewer voting had ended for the weekly Idol results show. And, wow, Idol sure lucked out that the last singer Tuesday night was Adam as opposed to — well, let’s say Anoop Desai or Scott MacIntyre. In case you,…

Yes, Scott MacIntyre has a punk side

April 9, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Scott MacIntyre had a simple explanation for playing electric guitar while singing Survivor’s “The Search Is Over” on American Idol earlier this week. During the judges’ lukewarm critiques of his Tuesday night performance, Scott said it was his “punk side coming out.” That made everyone laugh. Turns out, Scott MacIntyre has a punk side. Or…

Idol finals week 5: Scott MacIntyre eliminated from American Idol

April 8, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

One of my fellow York Dispatch bloggers — Andy Shaw, who can tell you anything you ever wanted to know about “America’s Next Top Model” — pointed out something about last night’s Idol show that I didn’t realize, watching it live. The show ran late, about five minutes late. Meaning anyone who watched the show…

Idol finals week 5: Simon makes the right call on the judges’ save

April 8, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Talk about two shows with totally different tones. A week ago, you could tell the judges weren’t exactly saddened by the departure of free-spirited Megan Joy. Simon was perfectly blunt when asked about a judges’ save for Megan. He didn’t care. Then came tonight, when Scott MacIntyre’s fate was on the line. Two judges wanted…
