Why American Idol Should Apologize…

American Idol this week featured the music of Motown. I thought it was an interesting choice and one I was looking forward to – to see how each contestant could make music from such a specific era relevant today and perform with their own unique spin. We started with Casey Abrams singing Marvin Gaye’s “I [...]

Naima, Haley or Karen… who left American Idol?

Who is Our Next American Idol?

With the 2010 season of American Idol having so many ups and downs, and even losing in the ratings to “Dancing with the Stars” – it brings up the question – will American Idol survive another season? — Especially without Simon Cowell? I think the announcement of who will be replacing Simon will either make [...]

Shania Twain Mentors American Idol Contestants

Shania Twain mentored this week on American Idol and each of the top 6 performed one of Shania’s songs. Lee DeWyze began the evening by performing “You’re Still the One”. I thought the performance was pretty good but a bit pitchy in places – however the crowd seemed to love it, along with most of [...]

Harassment on American Idol?

After watching American Idol tonight I wondered if anyone else was uncomfortable with a few of the comments made by Ryan Seacrest to contestants. In past weeks many inappropriate comments have been made by Kara DioGuardi about contestant Casey James – and Ryan has made those comments worse and even more awkward. I thought we [...]
