Yo, dawg, check it out, check it out.” American Idol fans know that’s Randy Jackson’s way of saying, “Listen up, I’m about to critique your performance.” Watch Idol for a while, and you get the impression Simon spends a lot of time sitting in the back of a limo, stewing over colorful ways to tell…
There are rumors the good folks at American Idol might shake things up in 2009. It’s still the most-watched show in the nation, but ratings slipped slightly in 2008. Here’s a recommendation to Idol producers: Keep Paula. In fact, throw her as many curves as possible. And don’t even think about allowing cue cards. Nearly…
Coming Tuesday: The show we’ve all been waiting for, the season seven finale on American Idol. So between now and then I’ll take a look at the best and worst of Idol 2008, based on the performances and judging since the field was narrowed to the final 12. Anyone who watches Idol knows the routine…
So, it’s David vs. David in the 2008 Amercian Idol final, a showdown that seemed inevitable way back in … well, wow, it was a long time ago. And my apologies to David Archuleta, but this title round should be a slaying of Fantasia Barrino vs. Diana DeGarmo proportions. No doubt young David A. can…
Bye, bye, David Archuleta. Oh, well, an Idol fan can dream, right? After watching last night’s show — and reviewing performances from every week since the final 12 began with the help of YouTube — there’s no doubt in my mind the two most talented performers in this year’s competition are David Cook and Syesha…
Finally, the voters got it right. After two weeks of unjust verdicts, they sent the right singer home. Finally, dreadlocks and a charming smile didn’t top talent. And Mr. Jason Castro didn’t seem too disappointed to be leaving American Idol last night. I mean, what a contrast to last week’s tear-filled exit by Brooke White….
If ever an American Idol episode showed the folly of the voters, Tuesday night was it. Carly Smithson was sitting in the audience, having been eliminated two weeks ago. Brooke White was singing “You’re So Vain” on the Morning Show, not the Idol stage, having gotten the boot last week. And there was Jason Castro…
Carly Simon told the Associated Press earlier this week that Brooke White was her favorite American Idol contestant and sang “You’re So Vain” better than she ever could. Votefortheworst.com adopted Brooke as its poster child a couple weeks ago, apparently as much for her tendency to let the tears flow as for any shortcoming in…
Tuesday marked the beginning of double-your-pleasure time on American Idol, meaning each contestant got to perform twice during the hour-long show. Toss in Neil Diamond, some surprising uneven performances, a format change and one frazzled judge and it made for a rather chaotic evening. After all, FOX wasn’t about to cut down on commercials to…
And then there were five. American Idol said so long to Carly Smithson last night. The farewell was overdue in my mind, though a little surprising considering she had gotten a good review from Simon Tuesday. Carly hadn’t gotten many good reviews from Simon this year. She was so pleased with his comments Tuesday that…
