Back when the finals began, the 13 contestants were asked to name their favorite judge. Guess who got the most votes? That’s right, the acid-tongued Simon Cowell. Four contestants — Michael Sarver, Megan Joy, Lil Rounds and Allison Iraheta — tabbed Simon as their favorite. Paula trailed right behind with three votes, followed by two…
He hasn’t been crowned the Idol yet, but Adam Lambert dominated season eight in a way few finalists ever had. Between the spell-bounding vocals and the showmanship on stage, Adam provided one memorable moment after another over the past 10 weeks. But his performances weren’t the only ones worth remembering. Here’s a countdown of the…
Fans of Brooke White — count me among them — are going to have to wait a little longer than expected for the release of her first post-Idol album, “High Hopes & Heartbreaks.” The album was originally set for release on June 2, Brooke’s birthday. Instead, the album will come out on July 21. Brooke…
Danny Gokey has a clear vision for his post-Idol career. And it’s not about making tons of money or living the glamorous life of a pop star. He wants to start a movement with his music, to change people’s hearts. “My dream is to mix my music with my foundation,” Gokey said during Thursday’s exit…
Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler fans who missed a chance to snag tickets to their June 11 show in Columbia, Md., now have another opportunity. They’ll be playing the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State on Saturday, Aug. 29, and tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. And they’re likely to go quickly. The…
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…
