And Your Next American Idol Is … David

COOK!!!!
I’m so glad my prediction on this one was wrong. I love David Cook! And he was such a humble winner. I love that his audition was happenstance, and not something that he sought out. It’s so perfect. I just hope that the AI machine doesn’t stifle his creativity on [...]

American Idol: Songs from the Year You Were Born

Tonight, the contestants sang songs from the year they were born.  I’m so glad the producers went with this theme instead of jumping on the trilogy bandwagon and producing American Idol Butchers the Beatles III.

American Idol: It’s Over for Overmyer

Danny on Ellen

Danny Noriega made an appearance on Ellen. I love this kid. America got it wrong on this one. Check it out.

Two Words: Phe nomenal

The top eight guys performed tonight on American Idol.  Overall, I think they were pretty good, still better than the girls in my opinion.  We’ll see what happens tomorrow, though.  The guys are all pretty unique (which I can’t really say about the  girls), but none of them really, really stood out, like David Archuleta [...]
