Tuesday marked the beginning of double-your-pleasure time on American Idol, meaning each contestant got to perform twice during the hour-long show. Toss in Neil Diamond, some surprising uneven performances, a format change and one frazzled judge and it made for a rather chaotic evening. After all, FOX wasn’t about to cut down on commercials to…
And then there were five. American Idol said so long to Carly Smithson last night. The farewell was overdue in my mind, though a little surprising considering she had gotten a good review from Simon Tuesday. Carly hadn’t gotten many good reviews from Simon this year. She was so pleased with his comments Tuesday that…
Blasted technology. So I get home at 5 a.m. after working election night and settle down on the couch to catch up on what I missed from Tuesday’s episode of “American Idol.” I’d caught two performances at work — Jason Castro and Brooke White — and if that was an indication of how the night…
Well, Kristy Lee Cook is heading home, hopefully for a happy reunion with her horse. For those who don’t know the story, country gal Kristy Lee sold her horse to finance her trip to the Idol auditions. Now the guy who bought the horse doesn’t want to sell him back. Idol did it’s best to…
Hey, did you notice Kellie Pickler on the front of Tuesday’s York Dispatch? Believe it or not, Kellie was the big winner at Monday’s Country Music Television Awards. Idol fans will remember Kellie from season five, the year Taylor Hicks walked away with the Idol crown and Katharine McPhee was runner-up. Now they’re busts and…
Poor Michael Johns. He had the misfortune of singing Tuesday night with the rest of the Idols instead of Wednesday night when Teri Hatcher and Miley Cyrus took the stage as part of that Idol Gives Back marathon. Anyone out there think Teri could have survived the cut with that dreadful rendition of the Carrie…
On a night when one of the commercial breaks featured the Meatloaf classic “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” as a cell phone advertisement … well, anything could and did happen on American Idol. Top performers turned in lackluster performances. Also-rans rose to the top, possibly inspired because, after all, it’s inspiration week on Idol. And…
Idol voters got it right Wednesday night. Ramiele Malubay was sent packing, too late to save us from her horrid attempt at country music. But, hey, better late than never. The surprise of the night was Brooke White’s first visit to the bottom three. If you’re counting, that means every female left in the competition…
Maybe American Idol should invite Dolly Parton to coach its cast of singers every week. Or else have them sing country music every week. The bottom line: Last night’s performances were far superior to those last week, when the final 10 sang songs from the year of their birth. And they were better than the…
After a Tuesday night Idol episode filled with so-so performances, you just knew there would be surprises when the bottom three were unveiled. And Idol didn’t disappoint, with Jason Castro landing a bottom spot for the first time, Kristy Lee Cook skating by on patriotism and Syesha just missing elimination. In the end, Chikezie was…
