I’d say tonight might just have been the best night of Idol so far this season. Music triumphed over drama. We saw lots of singers. Sure, Idol was back to its old tricks, reminding us about producers’ favorites. But we were introduced to some new faces too. What did we learn? That by this time…
In an afternoon press conference, Nigel Lythgoe promised us some amazing performances tonight. I’m just hoping Idol ditches the group night drama and gets right to the music. And I think it’s likely, seeing as how it’s only an hour-long program and, judging from the end of last night’s show, they plan to eliminate half…
Two weeks into the Hollywood Week episodes on American Idol, producer Nigel Lythgoe has decided it’s time to talk to the press. Not sure what he’ll say during this 1 p.m. press conference, but I’m hoping he outlines — for once and all — the process Idol plans to follow between now and the finals….
OK, tonight reminded me why I’m not a fan of group night on American Idol. Drama takes center stage. Singing takes a back seat.

Ready for some drama? Ready or not, here it comes. It’s group night on American Idol — the night when Idol serves up a heaping helping of drama. Remember last year, when Team Destiny’s Wild (including Todrick Hall and Siobhan Magnus) accused Team Neopolitan of stealing its “Bad Romance” routine. Remember two years ago, when…
Adam Lambert was talking about his upcoming second album on the Grammy red carpet with Ryan Seacrest Sunday evening. But fans won’t have to wait for that second album for a release of new music from Adam. Last week, he announced plans for a live CD/DVD combo, “Glam Nation Live,” featuring recordings from a show…
OK, I’ve officially got this song stuck it my head. I first heard it a couple of weeks ago, when researching American Idol contestants who had advanced to Hollywood from the Nashville auditions. I immediately downloaded it from iTunes and have found myself humming it from time to time ever since. The song is called…
Some final thoughts, the morning after the Grammys … Best Idol-related tweet about the Grammys It came from season five contestant and Christian artist Mandisa. She wrote: “I already got my dress for the Dove Awards, but after seeing Lady Gaga, Cee-Lo and Nicki Minaj, I’m thinkin I might need to step it up. A…
Looks like Lady Gaga is determined to steal the scene at the 2011 Grammy Awards. If you’re tuned in to E!’s pre-Grammy shows, you will know that … Gaga impersonators set a Guinness world record for most gathered in one spot at one time at about 6 p.m. on E! Gaga’s new single, “Born This…
As has become tradition, the stars turned out Saturday night for the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala. Among those on hand, Grammy-nominated Adam Lambert and former Grammy recipient Jennifer Hudson. Here are some early photos from the event. I’ll be posting more as they become available. At the bottom, you’ll also find photos of Crystal Bowersox…
