Adam Lambert, Season 9, Season 9 Finals
Idol Finals Week 5: Song-by-song grades, plus Adam

April 13, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Adam Lambert and Elvis Presley music on the same episode of American Idol. Let’s just say there should be a whole lot of shakin’ going on tonight on American Idol. (Hey, Elvis covered the song.) Speaking of Adam, I dared question whether he was a wise choice for an Idol mentor in a weekend blog…
Season 9, Season 9 Finals
Double elimination only part of this week’s Idol drama

April 12, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Oh, the drama. Oh, the suspense. Two Idols go home this week. But that might not be the biggest drama. The biggest drama might be watching American Idol squeeze nine singers into an hour-and-a-half show. Remember, Idol’s track record isn’t pretty. It was last year’s round of eight show when Idol ran late and DVR…

Season seven Idols rushing to our musical rescue

April 12, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Does it seem like we’ve been in a bit of an Idol musical drought? Well, it’s not your imagination. So far in 2010, we’ve had one high-profile release, that being Danny Gokey’s debut album.

So, how much would you pay for a meet-and-greet with Simon Cowell prior to his last appearance on American Idol? Apparently, someone’s ready to cough up $10,600 for the privilege. That’s the high bid so far (as of 10 p.m. Sunday) in the Idol Gives Back auction running on the Idol Web site. The auction…

Yesterday, I posted a blog reporting that Blake Lewis was closing in on his first number one single with “Heartbreak on Vinyl.” The info was based on the music charts posted Thursday on Billboard.com.

April 10, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

You’d never know it from some of their laid-back performances, but this is quite a group of thrill seekers we’re watching on season nine of American Idol. The show asked all the finalists what they would do if they had 24 hours to do anything they wanted. Their answers appear below. Katie Stevens would certainly…

Adam Lambert as mentor: Ratings ploy or pure genius?

April 10, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

So Adam Lambert is going to be the mentor on American Idol this week. Part of me thinks that smacks of a desperate ratings grab for a show desperate to stir up interest among viewers. Part of me thinks it could be genius. Adam can certainly tell contestants what not to do if they get…

The song is called “Strobelight,” and it’s a dance tune that stemmed from a collaboration with American Idol judge Randy Jackson. You can hear a snippet of the song on Kimberley’s MySpace page.
