Alex Lambert explains the emotions behind Thursday’s show

March 12, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Alex Lambert admits that he might never be able to look at a banana the same way again. After all, Ellen DeGeneres compared him to one every time he sang during the American Idol semifinals. First he was an unripe banana. Then he ripened. Then he got downright mushy. Mushy or not, he headed home…

Hmm, if I bomb on American Idol, why not try “Glee”? Apparently, that’s Todrick Hall’s line of thinking these days. In what has to be a first for an American Idol contestant, Todrick spent a good portion of his exit interview with the media Friday afternoon lobbying for a role on FOX’s hit musical comedy….

Katelyn Epperly says she’ll be pulling for Crystal

Katelyn Epperly admits she might have overcompensated and stepped out of her element. And the move might have cost her a spot in the American Idol finals. Two weeks ago, judges proclaimed her performance of Coldplay’s “The Scientist” as too slow, too sleepy. That didn’t bother Katelyn. She called the two minutes she spent sitting…

Lilly herself has a couple of different theories about her ouster, including the possibility that her fans aren’t the type to watch American Idol. “My demographic is probably more of the underground scene, (people) who probably don’t even own…

Carrie Underwood opened her “Play On” tour in Reading, Pa., last night. I promised links to coverage of the event, so you’ll find them below.

Idol has a final 12, and voters got the girls all wrong

March 11, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

If I were into conspiracy theories, I’d think someone was personally sabotaging American Idol’s female contestants this season. It started in week one of the finals, when Janell Wheeler and Ashley Rodriguez were sent home. Potential season nine Idols? Perhaps not. But they showed potential. The capper was last night. First, voters jettisoned Katelyn Epperly,…

Idol Guys Week 3: Who should stay and who should go

March 10, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

What got into the American Idol guys Wednesday night? I mean, all season we’ve been hearing about how this year’s girls are better than the guys. And through the first two weeks of the semifinals, that appeared to be the case. Subtract John Park and Jermaine Sellers, add stepped-up performances from Alex Lambert and Tim…
