Let’s see. One was frequently featured on Idol broadcasts prior to the semifinals. One got virtually no air time. One was hailed a frontrunner in the competition the moment he finished his semifinal performance. The other was forced to perform in the semifinal minus his favorite sidekick, an acoustic guitar. But guess who’s going to…
First, Simon Cowell predicts Adam Lambert should win American Idol. And now Yahoo has jumped aboard the Lambert bandwagon. Yahoo claims to have accurately predicted the winner of Idol for the past three years by analyzing its search and buzz data. Among the most important data: searches conducted by woman between the ages of 35…
So, let’s see, last week Danny Gokey sang Aerosmith’s “Dream On” and butchered the big shriek at the end. This week, Adam Lambert sang Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” and filled it with so many spot-on big notes … well, there might have been too many. That’s a great example of the talent gap that’s existed all of…
Well, we now know who should win American Idol in season eight: Adam Lambert. So says Simon Cowell, who praised Adam during an appearance on Oprah Monday afternoon. Now, I don’t argue with his assessment. I’ve been saying the same thing since the first week of the finals. I mean, it’s pretty clear. But I’m…
More music. That was one of my very simple suggestions on how to improve American Idol last year at this time. What do we get instead? More judges, less music. Yes, folks, again this week, prepare to be shortchanged. Oh, if you go to the Idol Web site, you’ll be greeted by a promo that…
The final three travel home and meet their fans after last week’s results show. The Associated Press was on the scene for the homecomings. Here are the photos.

Taylor Hicks appeared on the American Idol results show during Rat Pack Week. Normally, that means a big boost in record sales, reflected in the Billboard music charts a week and a half later. It worked for Kellie Pickler. It worked for David Cook. It worked for Carrie Underwood. It worked a little for Taylor…

Having Chris Daughtry appear on Idol’s results show Wednesday night helped cushion the blow. So said Allison Iraheta in her farewell conference call interview with the media Thursday afternoon. Allison got the Idol boot Wednesday night, leaving her in fourth place in season eight. Three years ago, Daughtry found himself in the same spot. Not…
Week after week, Idol just keeps the changes coming. Thirteen finalists. The judges’ save. Critiques by only half the judges to save time. And now: Duets in the finals. Look, I loved that performance by Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert. Wonderful way to close the show. And I hope it helps both in Tuesday night’s…
