Well — American Idol contestants performed some of the most popular downloaded songs on iTunes. First, I have to comment about the performing order. I’m not sure how they select the order of contestants to perform, but obviously those who go later in the competition seem to have an advantage. Second, Simon — I love [...]

With over 36 million votes from last night it seems American Idol is still going strong. But what was up with the lip-syncing for the opening number. Totally cheesy. I wonder if they are just preparing the contestants for future concerts (jk). I don’t know if they were trying to use “studio” recording rather than [...]

So I finally got the chance to review American Idol from Last night (while I’m TiVo-ing the results show from tonight). We’ll see how well I can do. American Idol celebrates Motown! Matt Giraud: “Let’s Get it On”. I loved Matt’s version of the song. Very soulful. I think he is really starting to shine. [...]

So…. I had to TiVo American Idol last night and haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. I’ll see if I can get to it tonight before the results show. But I’d love to hear feedback from you all about who did well and predictions on who you think will leave this week.

Well, obviously American Idol is not fixed as reported earlier by TV Guide. I was a little surprised that Allison Iraheta was in the bottom three, but having Michael Sarver and Alexis Grace in the bottom 2 was not that surprising.

Anyway, here are my reviews from tonight’s American Idol show. Michael Sarver: Garth Brooks “Ain’t Goin’ Down”. I just don’t [...]

As reported by TV Guide:Another week, another “scandalous” (and unsubstantiated) bit of American Idol buzz. This time, the talk is that Season 8′s final four have already been decided on by producers and judges, and that two of said “chosen ones” in fact have been ruled out as possible winners. As whispered to the New [...]

Well, I have to admit that I predicted the castoffs from American Idol incorrectly but I was not really surprised that both Jasmine and Jorge were eliminated. I was a little surprised that Jorge went home over Anoop — however, at this stage, it truly does depend on the hometown support and how much the [...]

So I’ve been a bit distracted with work lately, and haven’t typically had time to watch American Idol until several days after airing (thank heavens for TiVo!) Which has meant no real reviews of performances as the results have already aired before I have had time to watch. (But please note — I have already [...]
