I have not had time to give a full review and rundown of American Idol last night – but before the results show I figured I would weigh in – and hear your predictions as well… I think Naima and Thea will be going home tonight. And Stephano will join them in the bottom three. [...]

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 [...]

American Idol didn’t bring many surprises for me tonight – as I predicted the bottom 3 – all girls. Naima Adedapo, Haley Reinhart, and Karen Rodriguez.

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 [...]

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 [...]
