So,it looks like Jermaine Jones is getting the ‘ole heave-ho. Whatever! As if American Idol didn’t realize his past when they introduced him to the American Idol viewers? As if? Boy, I detest this sort of drama – I really do. Is it too much to ask to just produce a valuable singing competition? Are […]

Last night, the Top 12 male semi-finalists displayed some pretty amazing talent. It is going to be very interesting to see who makes the Top 5 cut.

Tonight, American Idol continues its dramatic presentation of the Hollywood Week audition process. And after watching the television promo and listening to Jennifer Lopez’ interview on Jay Leno, it looks like the singers are dropping like flies. Nerves, fatigue and ill health equal the end of the line for some of these contestants as they […]

Tonight, American Idol begins the singing marathon called Hollywood Week. And I am sure it will be filled with all the drama and suspense that I have come to dislike about this show. It is tedious and overblown. As I said last week, American Idol would have been wise to jump-start the live shows this […]

Tonight, American Idol features the final stop of the Season 11 audition tour – the city of St. Louis. Think we’ll find any blues singers? One can only hope!

Tonight, American Idol continues its journey while highlighting the talent discovered at the Houston, Texas auditions. I thought last evening’s show in Aspen showed some very promising talent.

I have always wanted to travel to Aspen Colorado, so the closest thing I will encounter is catching a glimpse of it here and there during this evening’s American Idol Aspen auditions.

Well, apparently there is some important game on tonight, acting as a lead-in to a special showing of American Idol. As you can plainly see, I am not an avid sports fan – except when the Olympics air. Then I turn into a raving lunatic, acting like an avid and obsessive sports fan. It really […]

Heads Up Everyone: Steven Tyler Has A Story To Tell
I cracked up when I read this article from Rolling Stone Magazine. Steven really loves the “F” word, doesn’t he? I don’t know what to make of this guy. When he first made his appearance on American Idol Season 10, I thought we were in for some blunt, humorous and decisive comments. Instead he has […]
