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 [...]

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

American Idol aka the 2-Hour Long iTunes Commercial

The theme for the night was The Beatles, and to milk it for all it’s worth, Ryan spent the first 20 minutes of the program telling us about how awesome The Beatles were/are. This was especially helpful since the at least half of the contestants had never heard of them before.  Since last week’s [...]
