Casey James’ Fans Rally

It looks like the poor performance of Casey James on last night’s American Idol drove his fans to the phone in hopes of saving the singer. And they were successful, because Casey (who has been in the bottom 3 the past 2 weeks in a row) was sent to safety and not even in the [...]

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 [...]

Miley Cyrus Mentors American Idol Contestants?

I’m not sure why Miley Cyrus was brought in as a “mentor” for American Idol contestants. Perhaps the thrill of meeting a star and getting a younger skewed audience for tonight’s show was the reason producers brought Miley on board. However, she did not seem to mentor or give much advice. In my opinion the [...]

American Idol’s Top 12 — Too Vanilla?

What do you think of American Idol’s Top 12 this year? 2010… I just had a comment on a previous post that the contestants seem to lack diversity. As they introduced the contestants… actually it was a bit skewed to 9 white contestants, 2 black contestants, and 1 Latino. I did think that the talent [...]

Oh my heck!!!!!! American Idol gets crazy!

I simply cannot believe the American Idol season! It has become very apparent that many of the contestants are NOT selected based on the fact that they are the best singers – but are voted through based on appearance, or controversy, or that they are “characters” and make for entertaining television. There are 4 or [...]

American Idol – Final 8

My predictions from this week — if it were ONLY based on the performances from this week. I predict the bottom three to be: David Cook, Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson. David’s performance was a bit of a mess, and although he has a large fan base, it is my impression that he comes across [...]

David Archuleta Wins American Idol!

Okay, so the results aren’t in yet, but that is my prediction. I know we’re only down to the top 20 right now, but David Archuleta is really shining right now. Unless someone else steps up, or unless he gets cocky or does something completely dumb, I think David Archuleta is going to be the [...]
