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? However, on the bright side, the charming Kellie Pickler from Season 6 will be gracing the American Idol stage […]

Quite frankly, I am sick to death about the random, delusional comments about Scott MacIntyre’s contribution to the Top 10 American Idol Season. Many people feel that his visual impairment is the sole reason that he was chosen for this competition and, thus, has avoided weekly elimination. Well, I have had enough. Truly enough! He belongs […]

David Archuleta’s poignant and sensitive version of the classic hymn, “How Great Thou Art”, could not have been delivered to me at a better time. And I would like to thank one of my readers, Janey, for making this blog topic possible. Today, I learned that a treasured childhood friend, Joan Colameco O’Hare, died after […]

Y‘all are not going to believe this, but does this sound like the shy, timid Jason Castro of American Idol fame? Below, you will hear and see a new and improved Jason perform the Gnarls Barkley hit, “Crazy”. Listen to his soulful vocals – the timbre is so rich and full, it resonates freely throughout […]

Tuesday’s Top 9 show will highlight an array of top downloaded songs from ITunes. I strongly suspect that the hugely lauded IPhone will permeate all the ads in between segments of this televised performance show. I mean – come on! Or is the theme of this show enough of a sales boost for Apple? Either […]

Lakisha Jones’ new CD, “So Glad I’m Me” is set to drop on May 19th, 2009, coinciding nicely with the conclusion of American Idol Season 8. Can we expect to see Queen Lakisha at the finale of American Idol? Time will tell all too well but it would seem to be a plausible assumption. I, […]

I am running late today – really late in fact! In a nutshell, I was not on the same page as the Judges last evening. How about you? Did you find them abnormally harsh? I swear the Judges were formulating their comments gathered from the rehearsal process because nothing else makes sense. Performing on the […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s theme show focused on the music catalogue from the Grand Ole Opry. Generally, given my classical and musical theatre background, I hold little interest in this particular theme night; however, I do respect that there is an enormous audience for this music and that spells ratings! Performance-wise, this was a splendid showcase […]

Why is the day moving some fast? Am I getting slower as I get older? Probably! Well, that was a great show last night, wasn’t it? All the singers performed exceptionally well, some better than others, grant it, but still they all came out fighting in new and different ways! The funniest moment of the […]
