The quartet that had dubbed themselves Three Men and a Baby was on stage singing Alicia Keys’ “No One” on American Idol’s group night. A pretty girl with dark hair stepped forward with the mic and sang a few notes, sounding like anything but the baby of the group. I know my ears perked up….

He’s been featured in both Hollywood Week episodes. Partly because of his singing. Partly because his wife was going into labor during Hollywood Week.

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi says she thinks Ellen DeGeneres displayed a good handle of judging on her first show Tuesday night.

Group night — those who survived and those who didn’t

February 10, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Whew! That was a lot to follow tonight on American Idol, wasn’t it. But I’ll give Idol this. The show seems to have learned its lesson. Or at least I hope that’s the explanation for what we just saw. A year ago, the group night episode was full of drama, but focused on just a…
