Season 9, Season 9 Finals
Contestants talk about their ‘unique’ jobs before Idol

March 22, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

They’re living the lives of celebrities now. Working with American Idol’s makeup artists. Posing for photo shoots. Filming Ford videos. Rehearsing with Ricky Minor and his band for a performance in front of 30 million TV viewers. But life wasn’t always so cushy for these American Idols, who now find themselves just a performance away…
Idols on the Music Chart
Carrie Underwood closes in on another No. 1

March 21, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Carrie Underwood is just two spots away from having her ninth number one country single. “Temporary Home” moved up from number five to number three on Billboard’s country singles chart this week. The only obstacles between her and the number one position, current chart-topper “Hillbilly Bone” by Blake Shelton and “A Little More Country Than…

Bo Bice shortens his hair and his album title

March 21, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Bo Bice has a new album due out on May 18. It was supposed to be called “Different Shades of Blue.” But Thursday, the season four American Idol announced a new name: “3.” I somehow doubt it has anything to do with Britney Spears’ hit song by the same name. But it is his third…

Danny Gokey coming to Merriweather, still in top 20 on Billboard charts

March 19, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Danny Gokey enjoyed another solid week on the Billboard music charts. His debut album dropped of course, from number four to number 16 on the Billboard 200. But a second-week drop was expected. And, consider this, his second week performance was better than any of the other season eight Idols in terms of chart position…

Catching up with David Cook (plus photos and random thoughts from Wednesday’s show)

March 19, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Gee, wasn’t it nice seeing David Cook back on the Idol stage Wednesday night? Season seven of American Idol will always be one of my favorites. David is a large part of the reason. He returned in fine form, kicking off the show with a blistering performance of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” Hope the other Idols…

Lacey Brown admits, she had a feeling …

March 18, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

If Lacey Brown looked at peace with her elimination from American Idol Wednesday night, that wasn’t necessarily the case. It’s just that she had gotten used to the idea. “I woke up yesterday and had really the strangest feeling that I was going home,” the 24-year-old from Amarillo, Texas, said. “Something was off.” It wasn’t…

March 17, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Season six American Idol Jordin Sparks has announced a “Battlefield” tour to run primarily from late April through last May. And the tour includes a Sunday, May 2, date at the Hersheypark Amphitheater. According to Jordin’s fan club site — Sparkstown.com — the concert will be free. Of course, free at Hersheypark means you’ll have…

Judges play musical chairs; Lacey heads back to Texas

March 17, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

What was up with the American Idol judges playing musical chairs Wednesday night? Early on in the show, I noticed Kara DioGuardi sitting in the far left spot that Randy Jackson normally occupies. Randy had moved to Kara’s spot, sitting next to Simon. If the they sit in those positions on performance night, Kara would…
Season 9, Season 9 Finals
The season 9 Idols weren’t blah, blah, blah in week 1

March 17, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Ke$ha — aka Baby Gaga — performs on Idol tonight. She’ll be singing her single “Blah, blah, blah.” That song title would have been oh, so appropriate for any of Idol’s semifinal shows. After last night … well, no. The Idols pulled their collective act together. OK, some did more pulling than others. Tim Urban,…
