The Guys Lazaro Arbos Curtis Finch Jr. Paul Jolley Burnell Taylor Devin Velez The Gals Janelle Arthur Candace Glover Kree Harrison Amber Holcomb Angie Miller So what do you think?

Has anyone heard Phillip Phillips‘ new single, Gone, Gone, Gone? Yes? No? At any rate, you will be able to catch it live on the Thursday, March 14th American Idol Results Show.

If last night’s show of talent is any indication of what lies ahead for American Idol Season 12, then we are in for a great season. I thought the first group of Top 40 Females were splendid, although I did feel that Isabelle should have remained in the competition. Her voice is glorious and her […]

So, here is a neat little twist this season. The Top 40 semi-finalists have the opportunity to perform before a live but pre-recorded audience in Las Vegas. I like this. Sort of America’s Got Talent ish. It will be interesting to see how the singers interact and communicate with the crowd. For me, this separates […]

Oh! My! Goodness! Am I living in a cocoon or what? I just noticed on NBC’s Facebook page that Smash is airing as we speak here. Or write. Whatever! It is on! Now! For some reason, I thought this show was starting in March, but I was probably confusing its start time with The Voice […]
