Tonight, American Idol features the final stop of the Season 11 audition tour – the city of St. Louis. Think we’ll find any blues singers? One can only hope! Wednesday’s Portland show was pretty weak, I thought. Lots of people with back stories and mediocre voices. I can’t see many going far during Hollywood week. [...]

February 1, 2012

Tonight, American Idol enters the third and last week of preliminary auditions via the city of Portland, Oregon. Thursday’s Houston, Texas show was very good. More great singers were discovered and will most certainly do very well during the Hollywood Bootcamp. I was very excited to see Season 6 contestant, Baylie Brown. I remembered that [...]

Tonight, American Idol continues its journey while highlighting the talent discovered at the Houston, Texas auditions. I thought last evening’s show in Aspen showed some very promising talent. There were a couple of guys with resounding baritone voices and, of course, Hippie Girl Haley was just tremendous. What a surprise! And she is different and [...]

I have always wanted to travel to Aspen Colorado, so the closest thing I will encounter is catching a glimpse of it here and there during this evening’s American Idol Aspen auditions. I wonder if anyone will ski into the auditions. Just a crazy thought! I pretty much thought that the San Diego auditions were [...]

Well, apparently there is some important game on tonight, acting as a lead-in to a special showing of American Idol. As you can plainly see, I am not an avid sports fan – except when the Olympics air. Then I turn into a raving lunatic, acting like an avid and obsessive sports fan. It really [...]

What a fantastic showing in Savannah, Georgia last evening! The new season of American Idol moved smoothly and efficiently, thanks to Ryan Seacrest’s flawless narration and the renewed energy of the judges, Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. And the singers! Let’s talk about the singers! The first thing that comes to mind is [...]

Tonight’s two-hour premiere of American Idol Season 11 will showcase the discovered talent in Savannah, Georgia. Two hours for one city seems a little extreme. Has it always been this way? Who can remember from year to year? Not me. So the two-hour showcase allotted to the Savannah singers must be indicative of the stellar [...]

Well here we are again. Another season of American Idol is upon us. This year the popular reality singing show is entering its 11th Season, with no sign of “giving up” or “handing over” the reins to another singing competition. Although NBC’s first season of The Voice and Fox’s first season of The X Factor [...]

Not only does David Archuleta have the voice of an angel, but he also embodies the spirit of one. At the end of his outstanding performance in Salt Lake City, David made a very special announcement (see the above video) – that he was going to embark on a two-year mission for the Church Of [...]

I have to admit – I just don’t get it! I truly don’t. The fact that David Cook has eluded superstardom leaves me completely and utterly baffled. It leaves me to question the nature of the promotional process once American Idol completes a season. All that hype, all the hoopla, all the exposure garnered from [...]

It is very fitting that the first three letters in Gene Kelly’s name mirror the first three letters in the word “genius”. Because, yes indeed, his performance of “Singing In The Rain” was pure, unbridled genius. Choreographed by Gene himself, he captured the emotion of the moment so very well through his expansive body language [...]

Is Dia Frampton’s quiet rise to popularity due to her Little Engine That Could positive spirit and quiet determination ? No one can deny her expressive and innovative vocal talent.
