Season 11, Season 11 finals
Idol recap: 4 things we learned and whose stock is rising

April 27, 2012 By Mark Franklin 3

So, what did we learn tonight on American Idol? 1. The Idol judges can praise Skylar Laine until deer season rolls around, and getting twang into the finals might prove more difficult in Season 11 than in Season 10. 2. Phillip Phillips isn’t feeling great, it might be affecting his performance, which might explain his…

Elise Testone is gone, and so is one of Idol’s best singers

April 27, 2012 By Mark Franklin 3

Well, I finally predicted an American Idol ouster correctly. And sure wish I hadn’t. Because in losing Elise Testone, Idol Season 11 also lost one of its top three singers, a finalist capable of giving us an Idol moment every time she stepped on stage. But I’ve gotta say this. A week ago, I thought Idol…

American Idol Top 6 results show: Elise goes home

April 26, 2012 By Mark Franklin 1

Wow, there’s certainly very little agreement over who’s going home tonight on American Idol. Nearly every Idol follower has a different prediction on what’s going to happen tonight. The only name I didn’t see suggested for ouster tonight: Joshua Ledet. Considering how unpredictable Idol has been in recent weeks, that would make me nervous if…

Predictions on who goes home from American Idol’s Top 6

April 26, 2012 By Mark Franklin 2

Will we be in for another shock tonight on American Idol? Or are we so shock-weary after watching Jessica Sanchez need a save and watching Colton Dixon go home that nothing would surprise us anymore? Last night, I wrote that this week’s bottom three should consist of Elise Testone, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, with…

American Idol’s Top 6 might be the most evenly matched in the show’s history. And it played out that way Wednesday night, when the Idols took on the songs of queen and one song of their own choosing. Here are photos from the show. Check back tonight for a live blog during the results show….

Idol Top 6 Recap: Who should stay and who should go

April 26, 2012 By Mark Franklin 1

Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I seldom agree with the Idol judges. My favorite moment of Wednesday’s show was when Joshua Ledet temporarily rendered them speechless. Thanks, Joshua. There are many times I wish I could do the same. I’m far more inclined to put stock in what Jimmy Iovine says…

American Idol Top 6: The song by song grades

April 25, 2012 By Mark Franklin 1

When American Idol’s Top 6 take the stage tonight, we’ll be witnessing something we haven’t seen for years. For the first time since Season 3, the Top 6 will include four girls. It’s quite a turn-around for a show where males have prevailed for four straight years. You’d have to go all the way back…

Friday’s Idol show canceled at the Strand

April 25, 2012 By Mark Franklin 1

Four former American Idol contestants were supposed to perform at the Strand-Capital Friday night as part of a “Celebrate Motown” show. But the show has been canceled for “unforeseen reasons” and won’t be rescheduled, according to Erin Stine, a public relations and media manager with Moxie, which works with the Strand. I wouldn’t be surprised to…

Voters, judges make the right choices on The Voice

April 25, 2012 By Mark Franklin 0

Well, everything worked out just fine on The Voice Tuesday night, didn’t it? The contestants who should have advanced, did. The judges made the right decisions with their saves. And all of a sudden, next week’s semifinals seem more enticing than they did a week ago. Tuesday’s only disappointment was the fact that Cee Lo’s…
