After countless auditions and numerous performance shows, The Final 2 comes down to Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Who could have predicted this?

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

H ere we go again. Another results night, another elimination. Any predictions? Well, I know it won’t be Adam or Danny – neither have been in the bottom 3. So, everyone else is “up for grabs”. I am really looking forward to Jennifer Hudson’s performance this evening. What a roller coaster ride of heartbreak and […]

W ell, who is leaving us tonight? Methinks that it’s a guy. It’s time! Ugh! The show is going to get ugly from here on in. Wonder when the judges will use the “save” option? Tonight? Never?

Tuesday’s Top 8 show will celebrate the songs that were released during the birth year of each of the Top 8 singers.
