I’d like to pretend American Idol’s Thursday night results show didn’t happen. I mean, the fact that Jessica Sanchez needed a judges’ save to stay in the competition is laughable. Ludicrous. But let’s talk repercussions. Because there will be at least two from this week’s results show. 1. Jessica Sanchez could miss every note and…
Ryan Seacrest called it an “incredible moment.” It was incredible, all right. Incredibly hard to believe that Jessica Sanchez was the contestant standing center stage, forced to sing for her Idol life Thursday night. Yep,16-year-old Jessica Sanchez. The contestant who turned in one of the best performances with “Stuttering” Wednesday. A performance so good she…
So, if all goes as expected tonight, Hollie Cavanagh will make a third straight trip to Idol’s stools of danger. And this time, she won’t survive to sing again. Well, at least not on the Idol stage. At least not after her save-me song. Save Hollie? Nah, you can count that out after the critiques…
So, is anyone besides me getting tired of Idol trying to fabricate rumors of romance between Colton Dixon and Skylar Laine? Ryan Seacrest brought up the “rumors” last week after the two sang “Islands in the Stream.” Colton and Skylar said they are friends and emphatically denied they’re anything more. Ryan brought up the dating…
I’ve been lobbying for weeks about how Idol should feature past contestants in every results show performance slot. Tonight, it finally happens. We’ll hear from Jennifer Hudson, who will perform her new single “Think Like a Man” with Rick Ross and Ne-Yo. The song moves up one spot this week from 34 to 33 on…
The Top 7 on American Idol tackled songs from the past three years Wednesday night on American Idol. And, for the most part, they deserved rave reviews from the judges. Rave reviews that were deserved for the most part. Here are photos from the show. For the song by song blog, go here. For the…
Wow, Nigel, see what happens when you let the Season 11 Idols sing current music? We get a great performance show, filled with those special Idol moments people will still be talking about tomorrow. It happened a couple of weeks ago, when you let the cast sing songs by their own Idols. It happened last…
Hooray, current music tonight for our seven remaining Idols. Very current. As in songs from this decade. As in Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and Kellie Pickler. What songs will we hear tonight? Here’s the list. Skylar Laine: She closed last week’s show, so it’s only fair she open this week. She’ll sing Kellie Pickler’s “Didn’t…
Hey, gals, remember American Idol cutie David “Mr. Steal Your Girl” Leathers? Hey, guys, remember NBA beauty Brittany Kerr? If not, there’s a photo at right as a reminder. Apparently, they’re both going to perform at halftime next Wednesday when the Chicago Bulls visit Charlotte. Brittany, a member of the Lady Bobcat dance team, sent…
Late last week, American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe tweeted that we’d be hearing two Kelly Clarkson songs on American Idol tonight. Turns out we’ll be hearing three songs from former Idols. Mjsbigblog posted a list of songs being performed tonight about an hour ago. In addition to “Don’t You Want to Stay” and “Stronger,”…
