Last week, the Republican Party got a surprise victory in the special election for the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat in Massachusetts. The Democrats wound up with a royal headache and a monkey wrench in their plans to pass health care legislation. The end result: American Idol fans get new music this week from a…
The stars united to raise money for earthquake-ravaged Haiti in a two-hour Friday night telethon carried by all the major networks. Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson performed “Let It Be,” and other Idols were on hand, including judge Ellen DeGeneres and former runner-ups David Archuleta and Katharine McPhee. Here’s a photo gallery from the…
Finally, the top season nine Idols are making their way up the music charts. After seeing his first single, “Live Like We’re Dying,” head in the wrong direction last week, Kris Allen can celebrate a new peak position on Billboard’s Hot 100 — number 25. That’s a eight-spot jump from a week ago, and his…
We didn’t get to hear him sing during American Idol’s Orlando audition episode, but Pennsylvania resident Aaron Kelly walked away with a golden ticket. Aaron hails from Sonestown, Pa., (Sullivan County, west of Scranton and east of Williamsport). Head to his MySpace and you’ll find photos of him performing at various sites in the state…
Season five American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee will be performing at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 13. Tickets are $30 and $35 and go on sale tomorrow. McPhee, of course, is just two weeks removed from the release of her second album, “Unbroken.” The first single from that album, “Had It…
If you’re going to turn on the TV tonight, it’s going to be difficult to avoid the “Hope for Haiti” telethon. Then again, if you’re a music fan, why would you want to? The commercial-free telethon will air on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX , MTV, VH1 … and the list goes on. Scheduled performers include…
Well, last night I introduced Idol Chatter readers to Keith Semple, one of the golden ticket recipients from the rather lame Chicago audition show. Turns out Keith didn’t make it to Hollywood anyway. The guy from northern Ireland told the FOX station in Chicago that he’s in the U.S. on a work visa. He said…
I’m a little nervous about tonight’s audition episode of American Idol. The media interviewed Randy Jackson before these audition episodes began. He called the Orlando auditions “a little strange.” Ouch. Bad news after a Tuesday night episode short on talent and long on people who would sing anything anyway to get on TV for a…
Hmm, Thursday night was the first time this season I felt as though the judges were handing out free passes based on contestants’ ability to be entertaining in ways other than singing. The DeSimone sisters. Neither sounded very good to me. But here’s betting they can supply some Hollywood Week drama, with Idol constantly teasing…
p>American Idol’s audition episodes continue tonight when the judges visit Chicago. Follow along, I’ll be blogging live. Meanwhile, here’s a little information on the female contestants who received golden tickets in Atlanta last Wednesday. When Hollywood week rolls around, keep your eyes on Mallorie Haley and Keia Johnson. Among last year’s female finalists, only Allison…
