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: Random Thoughts on Tonight’s Results Show

When Ryan said that there lots of surprises tonight, it kind of made me scared.
Why did no one high-five little Archuleta at the beginning of the group song?
What was the point of them crisscrossing around the stage during the group song? It was rather annoying.
Aww, poor Jason Castro. They just had to replay [...]

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: 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.
Ramiele Malubay, “Alone”:  It was my favorite from her, but not the best of the competition.  I like her, and I [...]

American Idol: Farewell David Hernandez

Tonight, David Hernandez was voted off American Idol. I predicted that he would be in the bottom three, but I didn’t think he should have gone home just yet. It should have been Kristy. He really didn’t do that poorly with his song last night, and when he sang it tonight, he [...]

American Idol: What’s the Irish Girl’s Name Again?

So, I didn’t get to watch American Idol until today because I did not get home until late last night. It was the first performance of the top 12, and of course, Idol went all out. First off, they opened the Lennon/McCartney songbook, which was the theme for the night. They are on the big [...]

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 [...]

Your Next American Idol Could Be a Male Stripper

Apparently, American Idol’s David Hernandez left his night job as a male stripper at Dick’s Cabaret to join the Idol cast.  How sad (or funny) is it that America’s next “Idol” could be a former male exotic dancer?  Wow.
As noted in Idol’s online Weekly Q&A, either David was a really bad stripper or he was [...]
