Did you hear that loud whooshing sound Tuesday night? That was the sigh of relief from tens of thousands of American Idol fans when they found out Tatiana Del Toro did not win a spot in the final 12. Oh, those sly folks at Fox sure know how to make us worry. First they credit…

Well, we’re 20 minutes into tonight’s results show, and we’re already getting some results. That might set an Idol record. But they’re starting off with the easy ones. Casey Carlson, gone. Stephen Fowler, gone. And now they’ve called Alexis to center stage. She’d better not be gone, or America got it wrong. Great news, Alexis…

Idol Semis Show 1: The recap

February 17, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Have I mentioned that I hate Idols’ new format for the semifinals? Have I mentioned how unfair it is to have so many of these semifinalists ousted after singing just one song?

February 17, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Okay, here we go, live blogging on episode one of the semifinals. VoteForTheWorst.com posted a list of songs the contestants are supposedly going to sing tonight … one song per contestant. Man, I hope they’re wrong. This is a two-hour show. In Idol-land, a song lasts 1:30. One song per contestant would translate into 18…

7 reasons to hate Idol’s new format

February 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Longtime fans of American Idol are going to be stunned Tuesday to find out how differently the semifinal round will work this year. As for myself, I’m pretty sure the changes won’t be changes for the better. In recent years, 24 singers made it to the semis, 12 girls and 12 boys. Each week, all…
