July 30, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

People magazine is reporting that Kara DioGuardi will be back on Idol for season nine. Boo! Hiss! If I had a rotten tomato, I’d throw it at my computer screen. I’m already irked over HTML coding with a mind of it’s own. Now, Kara’s return? Say it ain’t so. Sorry, but four judges on Idol…

Syesha Mercado is keeping a secret and it has to do about new music. The third-place finisher from Idol season seven is answering questions for fans in her MySpace blog.

July 27, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

In a little over a week, I’ve interviewed four Idol contestants from season eight. They all feel the same way about one point: They’d prefer to see American Idol continue with Paula Abdul as a judge.

Of course, the big Idol news on the Billboard charts this week is Daughtry’s debut at number one with the band’s sophomore album, “Leave This Town.” But the charts also bring good news for Brooke White, especially since her first post-Idol album was only available on iTunes for the sales week they are based on….
