Believe it or not, Simon Cowell has a heart. Lil Rounds is counting on it. Asked during a Thursday afternoon conference call how she stays on the good side of American Idol’s crankiest judge, Lil said the key is singing songs that she can feel, that have meaning to her. And she says that’s what…
Simon Cowell said he wasn’t crazy about the lyrics to “Mandolin Rain” during Tuesday night’s semifinal show. And Scott MacIntyre felt compelled to respond. Thinking back, he’s glad he didn’t because Simon “went on to say something very positive.” But when he got an opportunity to talk to the media Thursday afternoon, Scott was eager…
Idol offered a night full of drama Wednesday. But most of it was reserved for the announcement of the contestants who would get a second shot at making the finals through tonight’s wild card round. As for the results from Tuesday’s show, those weren’t very surprising. Disappointing, in my mind, but not surprising. Check back…
So, I guess the secret to making the finals on Idol in 2009 isn’t all about how well you perform your semifinal song. Being a judges’ favorite helps. Just ask Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud. Being a drama queen helps even more. Just ask Tatiana Del Toro. All three are among the eight wild card…
At long last, the blank beside that June 11 concert date on the TaylorSwift Web site has been filled. Taylor and good friend Kellie Pickler will be playing the MerriweatherPost Pavilion in Columbia, Md., on that date, according to both of their Web sites. Tickets go on sale March 14, according to Taylor’s Web site….
If American Idol hadn’t held auditions in Puerto Rico this year, Jorge Nunez would be finishing his college education right now. After all, he tried out for a singing competition in Puerto Rico three years ago, and it didn’t go very well. “I didn’t get through. I didn’t even get through the first round,” Jorge…
Time for wild card night on American Idol, something we haven’t seen for years. Of course, it’s something we wouldn’t need to see now if Idol hadn’t foolishly messed with its semifinal format for season eight. Ryan is blabbing about the power of redemption and tenacity, or some such nonsense. What it boils down to…
Let’s look on the bright side of tonight’s wild, wild wild card show. Tatiana is gone. Finally. For good this time. But not before delivering so much crazy that Idol couldn’t fit last night’s show into its one-hour time slot. The bad news: Idol continues to bend, bend, bend the rules to accommodate its favorite…
I guess we call that the week singing didn’t matter. Or maybe the week the judges had wax in their ears. Or the week they had already decided who their favorites were — surprise, surprise — and it didn’t matter how well or how poorly they sang. How else do you explain what we just…
Here we go. Week three of the semifinals. Voters’ last chance to choose who they want to see in the finals. I’m expecting strong performances from the gals tonight. I’m expecting Scott MacIntyre to breeze through among the guys. But when it all boils down to one song, anything can happen. Hey, that’s why we…
