If my show were criticized for being unfair to gals, I think I’d make sure each and every female singer got plenty of airtime before fans started voting for their favorites. Apparently that isn’t the way they think on American Idol. Because tonight, we’re going to meet some ladies who are pretty much strangers. Hollie…
The American Idol guys took the stage for the semifinals Tuesday night. And there were 13 performers, not 12, with Jermaine Jones getting a second chance at Idol success. For a recap of the show, including predictions on who will advance, go here. For song-by-song grades from the show, go here. Here are the photos…
Great start to a new season of American Idol, right? I mean, I knew it just had to get better after we’d heard from Reed Grimm, Adam Brock and Deandre Brackenship, because there were so many front-runners still to come. Some stumbled. But enough shined that Idol Season 11 could be something special. Best of…
The first bit of business tonight will be revealing the identity of the 13th guy who makes the Idol semifinals. I still think it’s going to be David Leathers. Nigel tweeted that he’s a little star earlier this season. And I see him as doing better on the show in the short and long term…
Well, we know one of the guest performers for the Thursday, March 15, results show on American Idol. Chris Daughtry and his band will appear that night to sing their new single, “Outta My Head,” the band announced in an e-mail to fans Tuesday morning. Great news, in my mind. I think Idol should focus…
On Monday, I provided rankings for the Idol guys. Today, the Idol girls. Honestly, I found this much more difficult. Among the guys, I feel like there are four or five clearcut frontrunners. Among the girls, I think more will hinge on how they perform Wednesday night. Part of that is because we’ve heard so…
Tonight, auditioners will be vying for the final nine spots on The Voice. Each of the show’s four judges will end the night with 12 team members. But spots are a precious commodity at this point, so I won’t be surprised if Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are more selective than…
Over the weekend, I checked on the number of Twitter followers for each of the remaining 24 American Idol contestants. I didn’t get to check on Facebook totals until Monday evening. Guess what? Heejun Han might rule on Twitter, but not on Facebook. Colton Dixon has the most “likes” for his Facebook page at more…
“We’re constantly trying to make sure that everybody that is in our finals is seen by the end of the audition process or the “Green Mile” process so that the ones that are put before America, America has seen somewhere.” — Nigel Lythgoe in a Feb. 7 conference call with the media — You know…
Time to rank the Idol guys. Here are my predictions on how they will finish, based on what we’ve heard so far — precious little in some cases — and by witnessing the habits of Idol voters since Season 1. This week, I’ll be live blogging through each show of Idol, grading each performance as it occurs. …
