We’re now just a little more than a week away from the start of American Idol season nine. For those who don’t want to miss a minute of the show, I’ve listed the schedule through the first round of the finals below (that’s as much as American Idol has announced to date). The schedule confirms…
Newlywed Jason Castro will also have new music on the way to fans next week. The fourth-place finisher from season seven married longtime girlfriend Mandy Mayhall Saturday (here’s a link to the story and photo of Jason and Mandy from “People.”) And, next week, he’ll release a five-song EP called “The Love Uncompromised.” The EP…
[windowsmedia]http://w2.yorkdispatch.com/mark/jasminetrias.wmv[/windowsmedia] Remember Jasmine Trias, the 17-year-old gal from Hawaii who finished third behind Diana DeGarmo and Fantasia on season three of American Idol? She’s now 23 and recently signed a year-long contract to perform with the Society of Seven at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The group has been in existence…
Adam Lambert and Kris Allen square off again Wednesday night. The venue: The People’s Choice Awards (9 p.m., CBS). The difference: This time, their biggest challenge might not be one another. And, if you haven’t already voted, it’s too late to affect the outcome. Kris and Adam are nominated in the Favorite Breakout Artist category…
Katharine McPhee fans should get to see plenty of the season five Idol runnerup over the next couple of weeks. Katharine’s doing the media circuit to promote her new album, “Unbroken,” which hits store shelves Tuesday. And the appearances begin Monday evening on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (NBC). Also coming up … *…
A month after their albums debuted, Idol’s big three from season eight have yet to make much of an impact on the music charts. Adam Lambert’s album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and quickly tumbled. Considering the press he’s gotten, album sales to date have to be disappointing. And none of his…
Idols helped ring in the New Year from New York to Las Vegas to Los Angeles and, I’m sure, at points in between Thursday night. The Associated Press somehow failed to cover the Billboard’s New Year’s Eve event in Vegas, featuring performances by Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen. But AP provided photos from the performances…
They hardly got a fair shake from American Idol in season eight. For many, the semifinals amounted to one two-minute song, then gone. In the process, Idol cast aside many talented singers. And since the only season eight finalists who really impressed me were Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta, I’ll always wonder what might have…
American Idol switched up its format for season eight, hoping to attract more viewers. The show wound up with more contestants in the finals than ever thanks to the judges’ wild card indecision; then wound up with the season’s best singer finishing second. Along the way, we got guest appearances from artists ranging from Lady…
Kris Allen has never been to Las Vegas. Allison Iraheta has, several times, with her parents. But both figure they’ll be in for a new experience when they visit Vegas as star performers for Billboard’s New Year’s Eve Live. (FOX, 11 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.) “Who wouldn’t want to be in Vegas performing? It’s pretty…
