The stage was bigger. The field of contestants was smaller. And American Idol got down to the business of letting viewers select a new star Tuesday night as the show’s final round began. The biggest surprise of the night came with the final performer, and it wasn’t a pleasant surprise. The rundown … Best of…
Way to go, viewers. It took a while, but you weeded out the worst of the bunch on Thursday’s American Idol elimination show. Luke Mennard: Gone. I’ll miss his nice-guy image, but not his off-key singing. Kady Malloy: Gone. I’ll miss … nothing. Not the pout. Not the imitations of Britney. Not the singing, which…
Darn, just when I think I have the Idol ladies figured out, Amanda Overmyer turns in a smoldering rendition of Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” Now I still don’t think Amanda is a threat to become the Season 7 Idol. She’s too one-dimensional. At some point, Idol will come up with a…
I can’t wait to see the final eight Idol ladies perform tonight. With spots in the final 12 on the line, I’m expecting dazzling performances. At least from everyone except Amanda Overmyer and Kady Malloy, who miraculously survived elimination last week. I have no idea what Paula Abdul was raving about at the end of…
Well, you can forget yesterday’s Idol blog about eight worthy female singers vying for six spots in the show’s final 12. Two of those worthy young ladies — Alaina Whitaker and Alexandrea Lushington — got the boot last night. Idol judges preach to contestants all the time about the importance of selecting a song that…
Wow! Now that’s what American Idol is supposed to be about. One strong performance after another. Leaving you wondering just who is the best of this bunch of talented female singers. Leaving you anticipating the next show to see what these ladies can pull off next. The only problem is Idol’s format. The way the…
OK, it’s week two of the singing competiton on American Idol. Performers are supposed to have shaken off the first-week jitters. And, you know what, the guys seemed more relaxed Tuesday night. But that didn’t translate into dramatically better performances. For every guy who took a step forward in week two, someone else took a…
Anyone out there surprised by any of the American Idol departures Thursday night? I was, slightly, at the ouster of Colton Berry. It makes little difference in the long run. His chance of making the final 12 was slim. But his rendition of “Suspicious Minds” came off better than the performances of several of his…
Well, if the girls outsang the guys in their first Idol performances, it wasn’t by much. Through the halfway point, Wednesday’s show could be summed up with one word: disappointing. The good news: Three of the last four singers salvaged the show, and were so good someone might actually download their performances through Idol’s new…
At long last, the painful audition process is over and the competition has started on American Idol. So I’ve decided to weigh in. Not because of any musical expertise. The only instrument I ever played was a flute in grade school. And I’m told I can’t sing. But I’ve watched darn near every episode of…
