Idol finals week 7: Allison Iraheta, Matt Giraud conquer disco

April 20, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Ready for some disco? Our Idols better be, because two of them will be eliminated this week thanks to last week’s save of Matt Giraud. All of our contestants were born after the dawn of disco, but the theme is hardly new to Idol fans. It was used in seasons two and three and might…

After the performance he turned in Tuesday night? Are you kidding me? Simon was on the right track. As the judges…

April 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Think back to Hollywood Week on American Idol… Remember the end of the group performance episode, when the just-ousted Nancy Wilson cussed out a female colleague — in the middle of the Kodak Theatre — in front of the judges and some of the other contestants? Folks, meet the female colleague, Kristen McNamara. Kristen, 23,…

Ryan Seacrest said earlier this week he had the list of American Idol summer tour dates for 2009, and he apparently wasn’t joking.
