On a night when one of the commercial breaks featured the Meatloaf classic “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” as a cell phone advertisement … well, anything could and did happen on American Idol. Top performers turned in lackluster performances. Also-rans rose to the top, possibly inspired because, after all, it’s inspiration week on Idol. And…
Idol voters got it right Wednesday night. Ramiele Malubay was sent packing, too late to save us from her horrid attempt at country music. But, hey, better late than never. The surprise of the night was Brooke White’s first visit to the bottom three. If you’re counting, that means every female left in the competition…
Maybe American Idol should invite Dolly Parton to coach its cast of singers every week. Or else have them sing country music every week. The bottom line: Last night’s performances were far superior to those last week, when the final 10 sang songs from the year of their birth. And they were better than the…
After a Tuesday night Idol episode filled with so-so performances, you just knew there would be surprises when the bottom three were unveiled. And Idol didn’t disappoint, with Jason Castro landing a bottom spot for the first time, Kristy Lee Cook skating by on patriotism and Syesha just missing elimination. In the end, Chikezie was…
The cast of singers American Idol keeps billing as the best ever stumbled and bumbled through another show Tuesday night. Rather surprising considering they had the pick of singing any song from the year of their birth. It’s a good thing they saved David Cook for last, because he saved the show. And it’ll be…
How many times can Kristy Lee Cook dodge the elimination bullet on American Idol? Wow, she did it again last night, meaning she’ll get another chance to show Simon she can blow him out of his socks. And viewers all over America will get to see what other songs and sayings she can mangle. Bye,…
Ramiele Malubay sang “I Should Have Known Better.” It fell flat. And that was pretty much the story of Tuesday night’s American Idol. Perhaps the producers should have known better than to force the contestants to perform Beatles songs two weeks in a row. Because they certainly weren’t up to matching last week’s strong performances….
Well, got that one wrong. Somehow, Kristy Lee Cook survived a horrendous country version of “Eight Days a Week.” Somehow, she survived Simon’s “Dolly Parton on helium” comment. Gotta give the young lady this: She took it all in stride. First, she asked for the mic, figuring she’d be in the bottom three. Then she…
The stage was bigger. The field of contestants was smaller. And American Idol got down to the business of letting viewers select a new star Tuesday night as the show’s final round began. The biggest surprise of the night came with the final performer, and it wasn’t a pleasant surprise. The rundown … Best of…
Way to go, viewers. It took a while, but you weeded out the worst of the bunch on Thursday’s American Idol elimination show. Luke Mennard: Gone. I’ll miss his nice-guy image, but not his off-key singing. Kady Malloy: Gone. I’ll miss … nothing. Not the pout. Not the imitations of Britney. Not the singing, which…
