After a marathon Idol episode, Tim Urban goes home

April 21, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Hold on tight. Tonight, we get two episodes of American Idol in one — an Idol Gives Back special, and a results show. And Idol is promising us a banner night of entertainment with performances by Alicia Keys, Elton John, The Black Eyed Peas, Jeff Beck, Josh Stone, Annie Lennox, Mary J. Blige and Carrie…

The performers ranged from the Black Eyed Peas to Elton John. The comedians included George Lopez and Russell Brand. And then there were messages of need and hope from across the country and from Africa. Here’s a photo gallery from Wednesday’s Idol Gives Back episode. For a photo gallery of Idols helping out with the…
Idol Gives Back, Season 9, Season 9 Finals
Except for Carrie and the videos, that was an Idol Gives Back train wreck

April 21, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Well, American Idol outdid itself Wednesday night. The Idol Gives Back / Results show was so bizarre, so off tempo, it took an extra half-hour. Heck, until some decent-end-of-show performances by Elton John (“Your Song”) and Annie Lennox (“My Universal Child”), I was about to declare the night a total disaster. Idol even got rid…

April 20, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

With Alicia Keys as a mentor and inspirational songs as the theme, the final seven season nine contestants try to set the mood for tomorrow night’s Idol Gives Back episode. If the spoiler list I just saw is correct, Casey James will kick off the show with a Fleetwood Mac tune, and Crystal Bowersox again…

Idol finals week six: Who should stay and who should go

April 20, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

American Idol’s season nine cast has been rather beleaguered. I mean — gasp loudly — “Dancing With the Stars” is giving Idol a run for its money for the top spot in the TV ratings. Idol won last week, but that probably had as much to do with Adam Lambert’s return to the show as…

April 20, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

The American Idol judges gave rave reviews to Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze for their performance on inspirational song night on American Idol. They seemed less inspired by the other performers. Photos of all the performances appear below. The fun resumes tonight when Idol cuts the field of contestants down to six in a two-hour…

Ranking American Idol’s final seven

April 19, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

The performance shows are the big draw when American Idol is on TV. Except for this week, when the performance show plays second fiddle to Wednesday’s two-hour Idol Gives Back Special (8 p.m. on FOX). Past Idol champs David Cook and Kris Allen will demonstrate the dire need for assistance in Ethiopia and Haiti, respectively….

On Tuesday, Carrie announced a new tour date at Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday, Nov. 13. Opening for Carrie will be Billy Currington and Sons of Sylvia. Tickets go…

You think Ryan Seacrest isn’t going to get an earful about this? We’re less than 16 hours away from the end of the Idol Gives Back auction, and check out these figures. The high bid on a meet-and-greet with Ryan is $1,825; the high bid on a meet-and-greet with Simon at his last Idol show…
Adam Lambert, Idols on the Music Chart
Music charts: Will Adam Lambert get a boost from Idol appearance

April 18, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

It’ll be interesting to see if Adam Lambert’s record sales get a boost from his appearance on American Idol Wednesday night. This week, the single he performed on Idol, “Whataya Want from Me,” holds steady at number 23 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Two weeks ago, it reached number 20, the highest an Adam single has…
