Fans have been tweeting David Archuleta words of encouragement this evening at a dizzying pace. So I guess it’s true. The guy who was the runner-up in season seven of Idol, who appeared to be the judges’ favorite throughout that season, is no longer a member of the Jive record label, having been released or…
American Idol’s traveling museum was supposed to be in Washington today (Sunday) and in Baltimore on Tuesday. The bad news: The bus (seen above) has been delayed by bad weather as it travels across the country and those stops have been postponed. No word yet on a scheduled Wednesday visit to Philly. A public relations rep…
So, did you read those Grammy night tweets from former Idol contestant Mandisa? She wrote that she’s already picked a dress to wear to the Dove Awards, but was reconsidering after seeing what Lady Gaga, Cee-Lo and Nicki Minaj wore to the Grammys, she was reconsidering. Then, lest anyone take her seriously, she quickly tweeted…
Wondering what happened to your favorite on American Idol, last night? Wonder no more. Here’s the list of contestants who survived Hollywood Week, courtesy of americanidol.com. For a recap of what I thought of many of the contestants, and last night’s show, go here. Meanwhile, here’s the list. You can marvel over how many of…
I’d say tonight might just have been the best night of Idol so far this season. Music triumphed over drama. We saw lots of singers. Sure, Idol was back to its old tricks, reminding us about producers’ favorites. But we were introduced to some new faces too. What did we learn? That by this time…
In an afternoon press conference, Nigel Lythgoe promised us some amazing performances tonight. I’m just hoping Idol ditches the group night drama and gets right to the music. And I think it’s likely, seeing as how it’s only an hour-long program and, judging from the end of last night’s show, they plan to eliminate half…
Two weeks into the Hollywood Week episodes on American Idol, producer Nigel Lythgoe has decided it’s time to talk to the press. Not sure what he’ll say during this 1 p.m. press conference, but I’m hoping he outlines — for once and all — the process Idol plans to follow between now and the finals….
OK, tonight reminded me why I’m not a fan of group night on American Idol. Drama takes center stage. Singing takes a back seat. And we, sitting at home watching, are supposed to somehow make judgments about singers on the few notes we’re allowed to hear. I mean, heck, we watched for 25 minutes Wednesday…
Ready for some drama? Ready or not, here it comes. It’s group night on American Idol — the night when Idol serves up a heaping helping of drama. Remember last year, when Team Destiny’s Wild (including Todrick Hall and Siobhan Magnus) accused Team Neopolitan of stealing its “Bad Romance” routine. Remember two years ago, when…
Adam Lambert was talking about his upcoming second album on the Grammy red carpet with Ryan Seacrest Sunday evening. But fans won’t have to wait for that second album for a release of new music from Adam. Last week, he announced plans for a live CD/DVD combo, “Glam Nation Live,” featuring recordings from a show…
