Kris Allen is the New American Idol

After one hundred million votes, the new American Idol is Kris Allen.    I know. Kris is great, don’t get me wrong. But Adam Lambert is the most talented person who’s ever been in this competition and everyone knows it. The judges all said he was already a star and a “rock god.” Entertainment Weekly already gave [...]

Final Idol – Live Blog

It’s the final performance show of American Idol. Can you feel it in the air? Los Angeles is so excited we’ve had two earthquakes already this week. There are two contestants left, and they are truly the two best: Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Both are great for their own unique qualities. Both have Tiger Beat [...]

Adam and Kris are Last Idols Standing

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

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 [...]

Idol Rock Week Rundown

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 [...]

Down to Four American Idols

Down to Four American Idols

Tonight’s results show was shocking. Not because Matt Giraud got voted off but because Adam Lambert and Kris Allen were in the bottom three. How could that be possible? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I think there was something fishy about that bottom three. Yesterday it was leaked that Adam Lambert and Kris Allen [...]

American Idol Final 5 Review

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

American Idol Disco Week Review

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

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

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 [...]
