American Idol Season 10 Finally Gets “It”.


The producers had to do something. After two lacklustre seasons, American Idol was on a spiraling roller-coaster ride towards oblivian.

Mini Vocal Masterclass For The American Idol Season 10 Top 12 Male Vocalists


Clint Jun Gambo: Superstition Clint – I found you were screaming a great deal throughout this number – definitely more scream than singing.
