Two Voted off American Idol
Posted on 23. Apr, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
It was a big week on American Idol. Wednesday night’s double elimination was half predictable and half surprise. Lil Rounds’s exit was announced first because everyone knew it was her week to go. And it led to one of her best performances of the season. Maybe losing was what she needed to light the fire [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
Idol Picks 9 out of 12
Posted on 04. Mar, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Video
Tonight’s American Idol had double excitement in store: three new additions to the Top 12 and 8 Wild Card picks for tomorrow’s competition. So let’s get to it. Only one of my three picks made it, so I’m pretty bummed. But thank god the one who made it was Lil Rounds. She is so awesome [...]
American Idol Recap
Posted on 03. Mar, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment
Tuesday’s American Idol featured Group 3 of the Top 36 vying for a mere 3 spots in the Top 12. The performances started off strong with Von Smith singing what sounded like a Rick Roll. (I think it was a Marvin Gaye song.) But he showed off his voice and really hit those high notes. The [...]
