An open letter to American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe … Dear Nigel: So, I see you and the powers that be at American Idol figured out that online voting thing. Congrats. That must have been some undertaking, launching a new feature so complex and linking it to Facebook logins. Now I’d like to suggest…
Here’s a quick photo gallery of the gals we’ll be voting for Tuesday night on American Idol. Wednesday’s show will run from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Voting — including the new online voting at americanidol.com — will be allowed for two hours after the show airs. I’ll be blogging throughout, grading each performance after it…

Well, if Vote for the Worst is looking for its first contestants, I’ve got a suggestion: Jovanny “Can’t Keep My Shirt On” Barreto. If Idol viewers are looking for someone to root against, I’ve got a suggestion: Jordan “Let’s Change the Story After Dumping My Group” Dorsey. But all in all, this is an incredibly…
One of my favorite moments on Idol Thursday night was when Julie Zorrilla departed the judgment room. She was so excited, she tried to lift Ryan Seacrest. Naturally, they both crashed to the floor. Laughing, she got up and proclaimed: “That was almost really bad.” The only thing I found really bad about the girls’…
So, are you excited about the prospect of voting up to 50 times, online, after each Idol performance show by using your Facebook login at americanidol.com? I mean, pretty soon, a single dedicated fan will be able to cast a gazillion votes a night. Or are you so bummed out by Jennifer Lopez’s breakdown/meltdown/tearfest at…
As rumored, American Idol will add online voting in Season 10. Idol will retain the free telephone lines it has always had. Idol will continue to allow unlimited text voting via AT&T. And now fans also will be able to go to americanidol.com, log in using their Facebook account and cast up to 50 votes…
Last night, I wondered if Idol might have a trick up its sleeve and find some way to bring Chris Medina back into the competition. That looks less likely now, because Chris is wasting no time moving on. Friday, he’ll appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He’s already listed on the show’s official…
The Idol judges made the final call on 10 of its final 40 singers Wednesday night. And — I almost can’t believe I’m writing this — the judges made the right call in every case. That includes Chris Medina, the guy with the incredible back-story, who was sent packing after a series of up-and-down performances….
Just a week ago, Nigel Lythgoe told us we’d see some incredible productions during American Idol’s first-ever Vegas sing off. That some new stars would emerge.
