Top 12 Guys!

Well the girls were pretty terrible, so it’s time to see how the guys do. I’m pretty happy to report that my two favorites get the best spots – first and last. So here we go!
Todrick Hall – Since U Been Gone: Now this is what I’m talking about. The best way [...]

Top 12 Girls!

The live shows have officially begun! Don’t let that exclamation point fool you, I couldn’t be less excited. Hopefully there will be some good performances to make me start caring about this season. But I have to admit, at this point, the only reason I’m still watching Idol is because of my [...]

Top 24 Announced Part II!

Seven are through so far. Now for the rest!
Janell Wheeler is in! She’s okay. I don’t hate her. So that’s a plus.
Tyler Grady is in. I’m not sure how I feel about him. I don’t hate him either. But I don’t really like him. He’s a drummer [...]

Top 24 Announced Part I!

46 now remain. Now there’s a new segment. The contestants have to face the judges in the Kodak. So that’s 2 hours of music-less Idol between today and tomorrow. Bleh. I want new performances! I don’t understand why they’re calling this the “final judgment”. There’s still another episode. [...]

Hollywood – Final Auditions!

This is it…the last chance for the Idol hopefuls to make a strong impression on the judges. 71 people will sing, 47 of them for the last time on the Idol stage this year. Here we go…2 hours.
I’m not sure how I feel about this whole backwards thing they’re doing. Showing us [...]

Hollywood – Group Round!

I’ve never been a fan of the drama of reality television, but this is by far my favorite part of the entire audition process. GROUP NIGHT! Yesss. A truly absurd concept considering the fact that the goal is to develop a solo superstar. But I don’t care. Yelling, crying, backstabbing…it’s [...]

Hollywood – Round I

For my birthday, American Idol has given me…ELLEN! Yay!
And right off the bat, what does she do? She gives an even better answer than mine to the “How are you qualified to judge Idol?” question. No, she has no real music experience, but she does know how it feels to [...]

The Road to Hollywood

Well that was not worth staying up until 10. About 1/4 of a second of Ithacappella. And it didn’t even say who they were. At least it appears as though there are going to be lots of people who make it through in this episode. I’d still rather be sleeping.
Jessica Furney [...]

Denver!

Back in the city that brought us Chris Daughtry. When Simon said no to him. Stupid Simon. Interesting…David Cook is on the backdrop, but Jordin is now gone.
Mark Labriola – Well there’s a different story. Kidnapped by his mother. He was really good. Really really good. Hmm…I liked [...]
