Picture Credit: AmericanIdol.Com. A picture is worth a thousand words.

At any rate, after last week’s excellent Top 9/8 show celebrating the music of the great Kelly […]

I am on vacation until the end of March, so this will be my blog topic for this week’s vague, rushed performance shows. I am honestly totally confused and frustrated.

Live Update At The End Of Article I was disappointed to see the elimination of Savion and Riley on Wednesday. They both brought considerable musical skills to this competition and I felt had depth and potential that we did not have the chance to see and enjoy. To eliminate 4 instead of 2 singers […]

In other words, he is suing them for […]
