January 18, 2012 
8 Comments
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?

December 18, 2011 69 Comments
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 […]

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.

I found something neat. The Hollywood Reporter compiled the Ultimate American Idol Twitter List. They compiled the list by season. More than a 100 former Idol finalists have registered with Twitter. However, surprisingly enough, Carrie Underwood is not a Twitter person, but I’ll bet most of you knew that already, right? Special thanks to The […]
