Rule changes. Carrie Underwood singing Motley Crue. The contestant #13 phone number controversy. Idol just keeps finding new ways to make the news. Tonight, we learn about the latest rule changes, and we learn the identity of the first two contestants bounced from the competition. Well, some things haven’t changed. We’ll still be treated to…
The rule that will “change the face of the competition” on American Idol in 2009 has been revealed. For one time, and one time only this season … and for who knows how many seasons to come … the judges will be able to save the lowest vote-getter from elimination. Call it veto power. Not…
Hey, not bad, Idol. I mean Wednesday’s results show was still chock full of some familiar filler — the group number and the Ford video, for instance. But, you know what? I think this new judges’ save is going to add some needed suspense to a results show that always seemed to drag in the…
Ticket details for the June 11 concert featuring Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., were announced this morning. Tickets will range in cost from $28 to $58. They go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Apparently, some pre-sale tickets are also available through taylorswift.com, according to…

Now American Idol 2009 starts for real. We’ve endured those silly audition episodes, those predictable drama-filled Hollywood episodes, not to mention Idol’s grand scheme to spoil the semifinals. Now it’s down to the final 13. These are the performances we’ll remember, for good reasons or bad. For starters, I’ll be interested in seeing who the…
p>Say it ain’t so. Now the judges are going to mess with the format in the finals? Do something that Ryan Seacrest promises will “change the face of the competition?” After the way they changed the face of the semifinal rounds (pretty much ruining it, in my opinion), I just can’t wait for this new…
No sooner had American Idol filled out this year’s top 13 than someone started a forum on americanidol.com asking fans to rank the finalists. What has followed is a fine example of forum discipline. Most folks stayed on point, obeyed directions and rated each of the final 13 contestants, with 1 being the best, 13…
So, you say your favorite Idol contestant didn’t make the finals? Join the crowd. I was rooting for Kristen McNamara from day one. The good news is that the ousted Idol contestants are slowly but surely resurfacing on MySpace. I’m assuming Idol requires semifinalists to scrape their MySpace pages once they’ve advanced that far. I…
Hmm, didn’t Paula Abdul equate singing a Michael Jackson song to “a kiss of death” in the first round of this year’s American Idol semifinals? So what will Idol’s finalists be asked to do tonight? Be asked to sing Michael Jackson songs, of course. Hey, it makes as much sense as anything else in this…
