Season Seven, Season Seven Finals
And then there were two on American Idol

May 15, 2008 By Mark Franklin 0

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…

Keep Syesha, boot David Archuleta on Idol

May 14, 2008 By Mark Franklin 0

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….

Someone call a deputy and lock up Jason Castro

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…

Two songs proves one too many for Paula

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…

The final six Idols go Broadway

April 23, 2008 By Mark Franklin 0

Blasted technology. So I get home at 5 a.m. after working election night and settle down on the couch to catch up on what I missed from Tuesday’s episode of “American Idol.” I’d caught two performances at work — Jason Castro and Brooke White — and if that was an indication of how the night…

Well, Kristy Lee Cook is heading home, hopefully for a happy reunion with her horse. For those who don’t know the story, country gal Kristy Lee sold her horse to finance her trip to the Idol auditions. Now the guy who bought the horse doesn’t want to sell him back. Idol did it’s best to…

Kellie Pickler, Mariah Carey and seven Idols

April 16, 2008 By Mark Franklin 0

Hey, did you notice Kellie Pickler on the front of Tuesday’s York Dispatch? Believe it or not, Kellie was the big winner at Monday’s Country Music Television Awards. Idol fans will remember Kellie from season five, the year Taylor Hicks walked away with the Idol crown and Katharine McPhee was runner-up. Now they’re busts and…
