Carrie Underwood, Idols on the Music Chart
Music charts: Big week for Carrie Underwood

April 30, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Sure appearing on American Idol can boost album sales. So, apparently, can being named country music’s Entertainer of the Year. Carrie Underwood had the good fortune to experience both in a week’s span. The result: An improvement in her standing on the Billboard music charts. Her current single, “Temporary Home” had dropped 28 spots on…

Lady Gaga rides to the rescue on American Idol

April 29, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Just when Idol needs a spark of some type, any type, here comes Lady Gaga. It makes absolutely no sense. Even less sense than having Shakira perform on country week. But Idol producers have decided to pair a Lady Gaga performance with Frank Sinatra Week on next Wednesday’s results show, when the field of Idol…

Siobhan Magnus is gone, and Idol viewers might miss her spark — heck, perhaps even her scream — next week when the remaining Idols take on the songs of Frank Sinatra. The fun resumes at 8 p.m. Tuesday night. In the meantime, here are photos FOX provided from last night’s results show. And, before you…

Idol’s magnificent screamer vows to keep on screaming

April 29, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Were you were a fan of Siobhan Magnus’ scream? Were you annoyed by hearing it week after week on American Idol? Either way, the 20-year-old from Massachusetts explained its origin during her exit interview with the media Thursday afternoon. She discovered the ability to hit and hold that high note back in high school, while…

Now, the big question: Who lands in the bottom three tonight on American Idol? Things certainly got jumbled a little last night on Idol. Crystal Bowersox turned in a performance the judges didn’t love, which was quite the feat on a night when they were perfectly willing to overlook badly off-key singing by Lee DeWyze…

It’s results night, and not a former Idol in sight

April 28, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Could Crystal Bowersox or Lee DeWyze wind up in the bottom three tonight? Nothing would surprise me after a Tuesday episode of American Idol in which the judges seemed most critical of MamaSox’s performance while heaping praise upon Siobhan Magnus. Truth be told, none of last night’s performances were very memorable. Except for Siobhan’s, which…

American Idol bids farewell to its magnificent screamer

April 28, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

And then there was one. As in one female singer left on American Idol in what was supposed to be the year of the female singer. Of course, the one left standing — Crystal Bowersox — is also this year’s best singer, though that doesn’t mean she’s assured of victory. Remember Adam Lambert? It was,…

No doubt living in south central Pennsylvania has its benefits. One being all the great concert venues within easy driving distance. American Idol just announced the dates for the season nine summer tour. And if you want to see the top 10 perform live this year, you have plenty of choices on where to watch…

Tonight marks Shania Twain’s return to American Idol. The last time we met Shania on Idol was the Chicago audition episode. You remember. She was panting over John Park, between giggles. Sorry, Shania, but John’s not with us anymore. Turns out he didn’t sing nearly as well as you thought he looked. And what we…

Idol finals week 7: Tone deaf Idol judges lead a grand conspiracy

April 27, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

There’s a conspiracy afoot, and it’s being led by the Idol judges. They want to convince us they have a worthy final six. They want to convince us the final six sailed through country week with flying colors. Oh, boy, are they wrong. I mean, really, was there one performance Tuesday night that anyone would…
