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,”…
Chris Daughtry and his band appeared on American Idol a couple weeks ago to perform Daughtry’s new single, “Outta My Head.” Last night, the band released the video for the song, during which Chris can’t get a dark-haired beauty out of his head and brushes aside his bandmates in his pursuit of her. Check out…
Does it seem like the Idol judges are holding onto their save this year like the most precious of commodities? In the last two seasons, they’d already used the save by this point. They declined to use it on Deandre Brackensick last week, despite Jennifer’s lobbying on his behalf. They declined to use it on…
Judging from the iTunes singles chart, five contestants should have very little to worry about during tonight’s results show on The Voice. As reported earlier today, Juliet Simms scored a smash hit with her version of Roxanne, which is still number 21 on that chart, more than 70 spots ahead of anyone else who performed…
The iTunes music charts are confirming what those of us who sat through two hours of The Voice last night already knew. 1. Juliet Simms, the 25-year-old female rocker, the former lead singer for Automatic Loveletter, stole the show with her version of Roxanne. 2. All in all, the night was not very special. Right…
