Another bizarre results show, Gaga and all, on Idol

May 5, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Well, chalk that up as another very odd results show on American Idol. You know things were going to be strange the moment Lady Gaga was announced as a performer on Frank Sinatra Week. I mean, we have the Idols decked out in classy black and white outfits singing songs of Sinatra. Later, we have…

Aaron Kelly, not Casey James, heads home on Idol

May 5, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Unless every Idol watcher on the planet has it wrong, tonight should be Casey James’ swan song on American Idol. I mean, Idol is infamous for its shocking eliminations. But after Casey’s tortured rendition of “Blue Skies,” I can’t imagine anyone else going home tonight. Between the cheesy performance and off-key vocals, I rewarded Casey…

May 4, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Gee, bet everyone can’t wait until the performances from tonight’s episode of American Idol are available for download, right? I’m guessing not.

May 4, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Tonight on American Idol, we get an hour-long show featuring just five performances, songs from Frank Sinatra and lots of filler. Gee whiz. So much to look forward to.
