American Idol: Brooke Sang, Brooke Left

Tonight’s group performance was unbearable – the singing, the dance moves, the nonexistent harmony, the awkward interactions. David Cook was the only redeeming factor. And I love how Ryan is promoting American Idol Extra, with Gina Glocksen and Constantine Maroulis, now that the competition is almost over even though I’m pretty sure AI [...]

American Idol: Good Times Never Felt So Good … or American Idol Never Felt So Long and Boring

This week, the contestants are each singing two Neil Diamond songs. This should be interesting. Not only will Ryan and the judges have to rush through the show, but this also gives the contestants twice the opportunity to forget the lyrics, twice the opportunity to mess up and have to start over, and [...]

Carly Smithson, Superstar

Well, Carly left us on American Idol tonight. I can’t say that I’m all that surprised. I knew she shouldn’t have picked that song, even though she sang it well … and did it even better tonight. I was surprised that the two worst singers from last night (Brooke and Jason) both [...]

American Idol, the Musical

Today is Earth Day, and American Idol is commemorating it by doing its part for the environment and using green power … four weeks from now at the AI Finale, a plan that Ryan Seacrest apparently “just learned.” It makes me wonder if the producers were too caught up in finding even more ways to [...]

Notes on American Idol Results: One (Bitter)Sweet Day for Kristy Lee Cook

About the group song, “One Sweet Day”: That’s about the only Mariah song I can picture being sung as a group. I think I would have rather heard “Dreamlover.” The good thing about the group song is that it gets better the more people they kick out. it just me, or did [...]

Some David Cook Love from Perez Hilton

CHECK IT OUT HERE! Perez (yes, I know I’m evil for subscribing to his blog) also posted a video of the David Cook performance. I love David Cook, and I’m glad Perez does, too. Maybe DC will get the Perez Hilton bump in Idol votes, which may not be as effective as the [...]

AI = MC Squared

Mariah Carey is the American Idol mentor tonight. First off, I just want to say that I LOVE Mariah Carey. I thought she was cute when she introduced herself to the American Idol contestants like this: “I feel weird about about the whole, like ‘judging’ people in general, so just look at me [...]

Another Reason to Vote for David Cook

David Cook’s brother, who has been battling brain cancer, will be at the show tonight. He has been in pretty bad shape, and doctors had originally told him that he wouldn’t be able to make the trip. It has to be hard for David to put up with the AI madness with this [...]

More Hip Action, Please

I was watching Dancing with the Stars last night (yes, I know I’m a reality TV junkie), and I heard a conversation that kind of disturbed me. Shannon Elizabeth, whom I really like on the show, danced the samba, and it wasn’t that great. Contrary to what you would think, Shannon is [...]
