Tonight marks Shania Twain’s return to American Idol. The last time we met Shania on Idol was the Chicago audition episode. You remember. She was panting over John Park, between giggles. Sorry, Shania, but John’s not with us anymore. Turns out he didn’t sing nearly as well as you thought he looked. And what we…

April 27, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

There’s a conspiracy afoot, and it’s being led by the Idol judges. They want to convince us they have a worthy final six.

Ranking the remaining six on American Idol

April 26, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

For a while, I thought Simon Cowell might have put his foot down and made a simple demand: No country music on his final season as an American Idol judge. We all know how much Simon loves to hate country music. Turns out there was no such demand. Or, if there was, Simon didn’t get…

Between the comedians and the song choices, I’m still not sure what type of mood American Idol was trying to set for last night’s Idol Gives Back episode.
