For the first time since the finals began, I wanted to throw something at the TV Thursday night. There stood Shannon Magrane, Erika Van Pelt and Elise Testone — three gals — in the bottom three. “What do you think of this?” Ryan asked the judges. They seemed stunned. Surprised. Perhaps even shocked. Especially because…
Jermaine Jones’ disqualification last night means the first two finalists eliminated during Season 11 have been guys. So it’s trivia time, Idol fans. When is the last time that happened? Think back … way back. Because it hasn’t happened since Season 1. Back when Idol had only 10 finalists, when voters booted EJ Day and…
Joshua Ledet, Hollie Cavanagh and, in my opinion, Colton Dixon stole the show Wednesday night on Idol. Heck, Joshua and Hollie sang so well in the final performances that folks might have forgotten Jermaine Jones by the time the show ended. Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips, Deandre Brackensick and Skylar Laine performed well enough that they…
So, Jermaine Jones is gone. No one replaced him on Idol. A contestant is still being eliminated Thursday night. And, suddenly, the survivors of that show will qualify for the American Idol summer tour. Meaning tomorrow night will be one of the cruelest eliminations of them all. My recap … Best of the night: Joshua…
Who knows how many Idol contestants will perform tonight? All we know for certain is that Jermaine Jones, a member of the Top 12 just two days ago, won’t be among them. TMZ.com broke the story Tuesday, saying he’d been booted from the show for not telling Idol about his criminal past. Idol producers Ken…

Last night, TMZ.com reported that one of the final 12 contestants on American Idol would be disqualified during Wednesday night’s show. A few minutes later, Jermaine Jones sent out the following tweet: “Aww, I will no longer b on the show.” That tweet was deleted within moments, but then Jermaine starting re-tweeting reactions to the…
Well, if Tuesday night’s report from TMZ is correct, we could be in for a drama-filled episode of American Idol Wednesday. The website is reporting that a contestant — perhaps Jermaine Jones — will be booted from the show. If that’s true, how does this week proceed? Do all 11 remaining singers perform, knowing no…
American fans anxious to get their hands on the new album David Archuleta is releasing this month will apparently have plenty of options. David is releasing “Forevermore,” an album of original Filipino love songs this month. A track list was recently announced, as well as pre-orders of the albums, from the Philippines. Well, amazon.com has…
Ruben Studdard released his fifth album, “Letters to Birmingham,” today. It’s being billed as his most personal album to date, though he co-wrote only one of the 12 base tracks. That’s partly because it tells the tale of lost found and lost, mirroring the experience of Idol’s Season 2 champ. In November, after a little…
