American Idol - Another week of boring Ballads

  Hey, I’m back with another round of Idol Watch - sorry I don’t have a catchy original name for this.  Last week I attended a screening and got home late, so I wasn’t in the mood to stay up until 2am to discuss another round of bad karaoke - especially after I saw that they were going to butcher the Beatles for a 2nd week in a row.  As I write this, we’re about 10 minutes into the show. I have to give it another 40 minutes on my Tivo before I can actually turn it on and start watching. What t read

What, no 1972?

I just get less and less interested as the season of American Idol rolls on. I’m bored. This week’s theme was songs from the year the contestants were born. Kookookachoo. First, let me just say that Paula should fire her stylist. What on my green earth was she wearing? The weird fingerless gloves with wrist bling made her look all crazy. Well, crazier than normal. And the rest of the ensemble was...well, just bad. I kind of had a little daydream that she’s been gearing up to play Lit read

American Idol Top 10 Songs

American Idol basically had an 80’s night this evening, but the twist was the contestants had to pick song that came out in he year they were porn. David Archuleta was able to pick a song from 1990 and went with an obscure song in the United States as he went with an Australian number that seemed to confuse everyone. Michael Johns gave the most exciting performance when he rocked out to Queen’s We Are The Champions and David Cook put a new spin on a Michael Jackson classic. As soon as the perfo read

AI6 - Round of 10 - Birth Years

I had planned on taking the week easy. I wasn’t going to write anything too lengthy up. I didn’t take notes. And then they deliver what might be the best episode of IDOL ever. It has to rank up there. We can even float the possibility of MULTIPLE Idol Moments in one episode. When it was good tonight, it was very very good. When it was bad, it was still decent. Ramiele is in trouble again this week. Going first is never good. Being sick is never good. Singing a song that’s a little bigger than read

American Idol Top Ten Get Cooking

For the American Idol top ten performance show, the theme was songs from the year that the finalists were born.  Of course, this theme meant cute baby pictures of the finalists in the background intro segments.  After the disaster that was the second Beatles night, several of the finalists rebounded this week.  Michael Johns and Kristy Lee Cook gave their best performances of the season so far, but David Cook ultimately stole the show. Ramiele Malubay was born on September 6, 1987.  Ramiele read
