After countless auditions and numerous performance shows, The Final 2 comes down to Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Who could have predicted this? Certainly the extraordinarily talented Adam Lambert was the obvious frontrunner in this season’s competition and I handpicked him to advance to the Top 2 and win the the crown this year. Will […]

As we wait for their final competitive performances tomorrow evening, what could be more appropriate than to feature individual American Idol Top 2 interviews with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen? The interviews highlight the intelligent, genuine personas of both Adam and Kris and I wish the very best for both of them. I think that both have […]

WAPE Radio Talk Show Host, Mark Kaye, recently sent me a clip of his recent interview with Paula Abdul. In the interview, Paula talks about the Top 2 Finale and the future of American Idol – with or without her or Simon or Kara. It’s all very vague and, at the same time, very enticing. […]

I found these videos on the MSN Homepage and thought I would add them here. It seems to be the general consensus that Kris Allen upset the apple cart with his widely acclaimed, innovative performance of Kanye West’s, “Heartless”. However, Adam Lambert has been upsetting the apple cart each and every week with his extraordinary […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This Top 3 show’s theme should have be named “A-Cappella Madness” , because, in varying degrees, all three singers were determined to strut their acoustic voices this week. However, overall, it was an uneven showcase of performances, but the technical glitch during one singer’s performance made for some great live television. We can laugh […]

Each year, I find the Top 3 show to be the most nerve-wracking show of the entire season. Personally, I have always believed that Final 2 are the true stars of the the current American Idol season. The gala Finale centers around their individual and combined talent, allowing them to sell their musical package to […]

Top 3 already? Where did those four months go? It seems like yesterday that I was writing those quick recaps during the preliminary auditions. Yet, here we are, moving with trepidation and anxiety toward the Grand Finale next week, as the three remaining singers – Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen – battle it out […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I am running really late this week, so please excuse the abbreviated introduction. However, I have to say that I enjoyed this week’s show better than last and this is coming from someone who loves retro music and is “so-so” about rock music. I think the singers were more in their element […]

I thoughts Slash did a wonderful job with the singers last evening. He certainly impressed me with his intuitive and experienced understanding of how these rock songs should be performed. I enjoyed the rock-themed show – more than I thought I would! I loved the inclusion of duets into the format – it added increased […]

Tonight’s Top 4 show has the potential to be an exciting showcase. The remaining Top 4 singers, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen, will be performing one solo and one duet. This is a first for American Idol and probably the most exciting new feature implemented into this year’s innovative format. It […]

Tonight’s Top 5 show is a dream come true for yours truly and, I expect, for many of the listeners.

I decided to add a pre-show blog topic about this week’s widely anticipated American Idol Top 5 show, featuring music from the legacy created by the artists from the Rat Pack Era. The major singers from this signature musical time period were pre-dominantly male and enormously talented. The key male figures were Frank Sinatra, Dean […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Disco night! Time for the remaining seven singers to create a festive ambience and connect with the audience. But did they?

W ell – tonight’s the night. Two singers will be eliminated this week and, based on performances last evening, it’s hard to make the call. However, with a double elimination, we should gain insight into who has the strongest, most determined fanbase. A shocker elimination is definitely a possibility or it may just end up […]
