So this is it folks — the moment we’ve all been waiting for. What? You have a life, you say? Well, how nice for you. I, on the other hand, do not, and I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks. So let’s get this party started. The top 12 contestants are performing School’s Out [...]

It’s Disco Night on American Idol. Lil Rounds sings, predictably, I Am Every Woman. I like the personality she’s putting into this performance. The vocals are fine, but I’m not sure this is doing anything to establish her signature style. I’m afraid it’s another potpourri performance for Lil. But still, it’s great to see her [...]
American Idol Results

It’s another Idol Results show and I’m getting hard pressed to find a new way to say the same exact thing week after week. I still can’t understand why they insist upon making these results shows an hour long when 30 minutes would certainly suffice. Ford video, blah blah blah, cheesy gratuitous group number, blah [...]

Tonight the contestants are singing “Songs From The Movies” with Quentin Tarantino as guest mentor. Allison starts off the night with one of my very favoritest bands, Aerosmith. WOOT! I love how her voice is so distinctive. Hm. I can’t put my finger on it, but this isn’t her best performance. I love the song, [...]

I’m tuning in a bit late tonight. My DVR is temperamental, and I feel her pain. I do. She must also suffer from Princess Must Scream syndrome. At any rate, I’m watching in real time. Which means that I have every commercial break to peruse the World Wide Web and disparage of the declining state [...]

It looks like the contestants are singing Motown tonight. The founder of Mowtown, Barry Gordy himself, is the celebrity mentor. Let’s roll! Matt Giraud — Let’s Get It On: My initial impression from the rehearsal is that this will be a perfect song choice for him. He hasn’t been one of my favorites, but there’s [...]
American Idol Season 8 Top 13 Perform

What’s with the judges walking out on stage like they’re in an advertisement for Law & Order? And has anyone ever noticed that Simon walks like a caveman? Okay so anyway. This is a SINGING competition, right? Due to the last minute decision to make the Top 12 a Top 13, tomorrow night TWO contestants [...]
American Idol Season 8, Group 3 Results Show Recap
March 4, 2009 By 9 Comments
It’s another painful hour of indulgent interviews, unnecessary recaps, and cheesy group numbers, a.k.a. the American Idol Results Show! And I’m just enough of a glutton for punishment to watch the whole thing in real time. Never have I been more thankful for my gorgeous MacBook so I can Twitter and read blogs while I [...]
