Judging from the videos below, David Cook was looking snazzy and sounding great at the Concert for Hope last night in Washington, D.C. David performed the concert at the Warner Theatre to help raise money to fund research and support services for those affected by brain tumors. He’ll also be participating in the Race for…
Casey Abrams won’t be the Season 10 American Idol. But he’ll forever be remembered for one of the most dramatic Idol episodes ever. That came back on March 24. You remember the night. It was week three of the finals. And Ryan Seacrest had just delivered the shocking news. Casey Abrams, widely considered an Idol…
Earlier this spring, the American Music Theatre in Lancaster announced Kellie Pickler would be performing there on Aug. 4. Now it looks like the appearance will coincide with some new Kellie Pickler music. First, the concert news: Tickets for that Aug. 4 show go on sale to the general public at 9 a.m. Saturday. They’ve…
I was sorry to see Casey Abrams go home last night. He brought an element of surprise to the show each week that will be sorely missed. I mean, from week to week, I don’t think there’s much doubt about the type of performance we’ll see from Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina. Casey…

Tonight’s returning contestant guest star: Crystal Bowersox — another example of why Idol should consider voting changes for Season 11. Because this Idol gender problem didn’t begin in Season 10, when the first six contestants eliminated were gals. Including Pia Toscano, who should still be vying for a spot in the finals. A year ago…
With only six singers remaining and an hour and a half to kill, American Idol decided to treat us to nine performances tonight. Of course, that meant the return of duets, which always leave me with mixed feelings on performance shows. I mean, magic often happens. Like when Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta sang “Slow…
Well, we’re down to six on American Idol. But 11 will be going on tour, and Idol this afternoon announced where they’ll be stopping on the Season 10 summer jaunt. Of local interest are the following: * Aug. 10 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh; * Aug. 11 at the First Mariner Arena in…
David Cook’s Team for a Cure is well on its way to raising more than $100,000 again this year for the Washington, D.C., Race for Hope, set for Sunday. And tickets remain for David’s Friday night Concert for Hope at the Warner Theater. Ticket prices range from $42 to $62. But David fans had better…
