Adam and Kris are Last Idols Standing
Posted on 14. May, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
I hate to gloat, but I called this from the beginning: the two contestants to make it to the finals of American Idol are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. And they totally deserve it. Next week’s vote for the winner of the whole competition is going to be huge. It’ll break Idol records. And the winner will [...]
Idol’s Top Three Vie for a Spot in the Finals
Posted on 12. May, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
It was two-fer Tuesday on Idol tonight. First the contestants sang a song chosen by the judges. Then they got to perform one they chose themselves. Things started off with yucky Danny Gokey doing Terrence Trent D’Arby’s “Dance Little Sister,” chosen by Paula. The judges thought his singing was good, but Kara, Simon, and [...]
American Idol Down to Final Three

I am so mad! It was rock and roll week on Idol and Allison Iraheta is a natural born rock singer. She kicked ass last night with Janis Joplin’s “Cry Baby.” Meanwhile, Danny Gokey screeched out Aerosmith’s “Dream On” so badly that, according to him, his own aunt had to mute the television. But the [...]
Idol Rock Week Rundown
Posted on 06. May, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
This is the week of American Idol I’ve been waiting for: rock and roll. Slash was the mentor and he had the contestants practice at the Roxy nightclub on stage with a rock band, which was a good idea. I’ve been dying to hear Adam Lambert sing Led Zepplin all season, and tonight I got [...]
American Idol Final 5 Review
Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
It’s Rat Pack week on Idol, and who’s the guest mentor? Jamie Foxx, of course. Why? Don’t ask me. I can’t stand the guy. Despite my annoyance with Foxx, the show started off nicely with Kris Allen singing “The Way You Look Tonight.” It was different from his other performances in that he didn’t play [...]
American Idol Disco Week Review
Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
We’re down to the final seven on American Idol – for the second week in a row. Last week the judges used their one-time “Save” to keep Matt Giraud in the competition, a decision I totally agreed with. But it also means two contestants have to leave this week, so tonight’s performances were crucial. Lil [...]
Lambert Wows American Idol
Posted on 08. Apr, 2009 by Gouda in Dis & Dat, Entertainment, News, Scoopage
Where you feeling really old when you watched Tuesday night’s episode of AI? I was, since this week’s show was based on songs from the year the contestants were born- which was all in the 80′s with even one contestant being born in the (gulp) 90′s. Adam Lambert seemed to get the best reaction when [...]
American Idol Down to 9
Posted on 26. Mar, 2009 by Gouda in Entertainment, Lifestyle, Scoopage
Tonight 27 year-old oil rig worker Michael Sarver was voted off American Idol. The judges weren’t happy with his rendition of “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” and even though he did a final begging of his own when he sang his song before finding out he was going home tonight. He was in the bottom [...]
Idol’s Top 11 Go Country
Posted on 17. Mar, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment
This is Grand Ol’ Opry week on American Idol, with special guest Randy Travis, who is one weird-looking dude, like a cross between Ghost Rider and Skeltor. So how did the contestants handle country music? Surprisingly well. There were only a few stinker performances, making it the best night so far this season. Texan Michael [...]
Idol’s Top 13 Hit the Big Stage
Posted on 10. Mar, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment
Simon, Paula, Randy, and Kara walked out on stage tonight to screaming cheers. It may have been the first time they ever made an actual entrance, and it gave Simon, the only non-performer in the group, a taste of what it’s like to stand out on an enormous stage in front of a big audience. [...]
