Any hope that the Idol judges would wake from their season-long slumber after the ouster of Pia Toscano was shattered midway through Wednesday’s show. Scotty McCreery had just done what Scotty McCreery does every week. Sing a country song well. Hit all the notes. Look self-assured on stage. “You know, everybody wants us to be…
For those counting, Steven Tyler’s streak of performances he loved has reached 39. And it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon. I mean, the guy is making Paula Abdul look like a novice at positive feedback in his rookie year on Idol. Truth be told, the Idols gave the judges plenty of reasons…
Pia Toscano is gone, and we Idol fans must move on. Besides, Pia was never the frontrunner on Idol. Just ask Nigel Lythgoe, producer of a show that almost never reveals anything about vote totals. Unless, apparently, it’s in defense after the best singer is sent home in ninth place and Idol fans are really,…
Finalists for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards were announced today. Just one Idol received a nomination, and it would probably rank as a bit of a surprise.

After watching five females go home and not a single guy, the odds seem stacked against Lauren Alaina…
We Idol fans who would like to see the voting system changed have an ally in Regis Philbin. The unjustly ousted Pia Toscano appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning. She sang “All in Love is Fair,” which you can listen to in the video clip above. During the interview portion, she delicately…
“When it comes down to it, the reality is that 50 percent of the audience is little teenage girls. And once they get a crush, we’re done. ” — Naima Adedapo — About female contestants on American Idol The performance that got Pia booted from Idol … If the UsMagazine.com reports are true, Pia Toscano…
Looks like Daughtry’s “September” never will hit number one on Billboard’s adult contemporary chart. For nine straight weeks, the song was parked at the number two spot behind Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are.” This week, one of the top two got dislodged … and it wasn’t Bruno. Katy Perry’s “Firework” is the new…
Gotta say, my opinion of Nigel Lythgoe’s handling of Season 10 of American Idol took a nosedive last night. Then dropped even more this morning.
