So, this time when Nigel Lythgoe and Ryan Seacrest said there would be a shock on Idol tonight, we should have believed it. Casey Abrams forced to sing for his life? And the judges interrupting his possible farewell song to declare they’d use their save on him, even before he’d finished? I’m sure plenty of people…
Nigel Lythgoe sent out a rather urgent tweet late this morning. “Spoiler alert: Shocking American Idol news tonight!!!” Note those three exclamation points. Hmm, perhaps Steven Tyler has watched tapes of the first three performance shows. Maybe he’s come to the same conclusion I have: That’s he’s basically done nothing to earn his paycheck, nothing…
Wow, you could tell Idol had time to kill tonight with only 11 singers and a two-hour show. I mean, we took time to watch half the audience hug Jacob Lusk. Ryan took time to sample food Stefano’s mom cooked, then discussed it with Chef Gordon Ramsay. And, in one of the more interesting clips…
This week marks the cruelest cut of all on American Idol. Unless Idol changes what it’s done in the past, the 10 contestants who survive can look forward to a whirlwind, nationwide summer tour. Granted, the tour wasn’t as popular in 2010 as past years, but it’s still a chance to perform in front of…
The American Music Theatre in Lancaster just announced eight new shows including … ready for this, Idol fans … a Thursday, Aug. 4, performance by Kellie Pickler.

Carrie Underwood will be back on stage, performing at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3. Good news, because the show wouldn’t have been the same without her. After all, Carrie has been named Entertainer of the Year at the ACMs for the past two years. She has a total of 10 ACM…
Brooke White starred in the last Family Movie Night film, “Change of Plans,” brought to us by Walmart and P&G (Procter & Gamble). Now season eight Idol contestant Danny Gokey will make a special guest appearance in the next film, “Truth Be Told,” set to air on Saturday, April 16, at 8 p.m. on FOX….
There’s been a change of plans for “Change of Plans,” the made-for-TV movie featuring season seven Idol contestant Brooke White. The DVD-CD combo pack from the Family Movie Night was supposed to go on sale Tuesday, exclusively through Wal-Mart. But it’s release has been delayed by about a month, until April 26. Oh well, it’s…
We’ve been in a musical drought of un-Idol like proportions. Sure, we’ve been treated to the weekly studio versions of the classics performed by the Season 10 contestants. But if it’s new music from past Idol contestants you crave … well, 2011 has offered precious little. Three months of the year are gone and we’ve…
Apparently, dreams do come true for American Idol contestants. Take Karen Rodriguez for instance. Last week on Idol, she discussed her sister Karol’s obsession with Nick Jonas So, what happens today? Karen appears on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show. She starts talking about her future now that she’s been eliminated with Idol. And, presto, there’s…
