I thought I’d switch things up a little this week and write about the boyz and the girlz of American Idol all in one post. Why? Well, because I forgot to write about the girls yesterday. Nevertheless, after enduring a third improved but not necessarily exciting week of semifinals, we are poised to learn who …

I didn’t watch American Idol last night because honestly, my DVR was blowin’ up at 8 PM, and if I have to choose between Survivor, Community, and a one hour results show featuring Danny Gokey, guess which one’s getting dropped? And so it was with great shame that I sacrificed Idol for the greater good, …
‘Twas ladies night on American Idol yesterday, and overall I’d say things were a smidgen improved. Sure there were some full-out duds, and sure I disagreed with the judges on occasion, but it looks like this season is inching ever so slowly in the right direction. I still don’t see any superstars in the group, …

I watched American Idol last night after midnight and thus had a very strong litmus test for who I liked, and who I didn’t: those who put me asleep were in the “not like” category. Everyone else was fine. Of course, this method tended to bias those who performed earlier in the night, but no …

I fear we’re in for a long, long season of American Idol, folks. Not since the dreary days of Sanjaya has a batch of male singers seemed so lacking in talent, charisma, and overall quality. Last night’s debut of the gents was filled with promise but left the judges, the viewers, and probably several network …
At long last, American Idol entered the performance phase of the competition last night, debuting a dozen women who all attempted to win us over with their vocal prowess. The degree to which they succeeded is a bit murky. Some of them proved to have very strong voices, others were more emotionally effecting. None were …

Apologies for taking a week off on the American Idol coverage last week. I fell woefully behind on my DVR and writing (I still haven’t watched any of this season of 24 yet, but don’t worry, I’m gonna chip away at it as soon as I’m done with this post; hopefully with a recap soon). …

American Idol headed down to the ATL last night, home of Ryan Seacrest, Coca-Cola, and America’s burgeoning Independence Party industry. While this trip down to Hotlanta lacked any weave-pulling brawls or bombastic helicopter entrances, I’m happy to report that it was just as entertaining as any given episode of last season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. …

Well, it’s official. American Idol is back, and everything over the next five months will more or less center around it. Sure, there’ll be diversions, but it’s the same thing every year: endless pontificating about singing and style and commercial viability, leading to gradually intensifying loyalties until lines are drawn in the sand with the …
Adam Lambert fans, listen up! The sequined American Idol runner-up has released his first song, dramatically called “A Time For Miracles” from the soundtrack to the upcoming disaster pic 2012. True to form, there’s a neat little run of squealing and histrionics, but don’t confuse me for a hater. Truth is I actually like the …
