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. Check back tomorrow for a blog ranking the final three, followed by the live show blog with song-by-song grades Tuesday night. Should be fun. American Idol finalist…
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…
So, was Adam Lambert’s next-to-last finish last week a fluke? We’ll find out this week. I mean, a rock theme and Adam’s talent should not be a troublesome mix. Remember that blistering performance of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” back in the semifinals? How about “Born to be Wild” on movie theme night? No doubt,…
———- Elliott Yamin’s second album, “Fight for Love” hits stores on Tuesday. The first single, also “Fight for Love,” was released back in March. You can listen to it on Elliott’s MySpace page. Elliott’s self-titled debut album was a smash success for an indpendent release, going gold and peaking at number two on the Billboard…
Last week, I figured two performances per contestant was too much to expect from Idol, even though that had been the standard format in past years when the field was reduced to five finalists. That, of course, was before the dawn of the four-headed judges’ panel. Before Kara and Paula started vying for the prize…
The American Idol week-eight results show was nearly at an end. And there was Matt Giraud standing center stage with Adam Lambert, waiting to hear which of them would go home. Matt Giraud, the 23-year-old dueling piano player from Kalamazoo, Mich. The guy who had already been in the bottom three twice. The guy who…
Listen up, Idol producers. I’ve got a great idea for your next theme week. Since you’re so intent on reaching back to the dark ages to find songs for our Idols to sing, how about a week of tunes from the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers films? Hear me out. They made some great films together —…
