Hi Everybody,
Why do we have to start with a bad performance every single time?  Neil Patrick Harris is guest judge for the first day in Dallas.  I love him from when he was Doogie Howser.  Can’t wait to get to Hollywood and see how Ellen does.  Of course, once we get to Hollywood, we’ll have [...]

Hi Everybody!
American Idol auditions are in Los Angeles tonight. Well actually, auditions are at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, but close enough I guess.  So when a contestant is “going to Hollywood” he or she is going about 20 minutes or so down the freeway!  Guest judge is Avril Lavigne.  Her hoodie has devil horns.  [...]

‘Idol’ contestant cut after dad talks to paper
Lynche’s father violated confidentiality agreement, according to report
A moment of pride has turned to sorrow as an “American Idol” contestant has been cut from the competition after violating a confidentiality agreement, according to a report.
Michael Lynche (a.k.a. Big Mike) was reportedly told to pack his bags [...]

Hi Everybody!
With auditions for American Idol heading to Los Angeles this week, I started thinking.  What is the audition process really like?  Do you realize how many truly amazing singers must be turned away every year?  On Friday night, my husband and I attended Temecula Live.  This all country music talent-type show has become a [...]

Todays’ auditions are in Orlando, Florida with celebrity judge Kristen Chenowith.  She’s a very talented woman–did you catch her appearance on Glee?  I hear she’ll be back next season.
First to receive a golden ticket in Orlando is Seth Rollins.  He was praised by all four judges.  Seth is a very caring father of an autistic [...]

Hi Everybody,
American Idol heads to Chicago and leaves with only 13 contestants going to Hollywood.  Maybe it had something to do with Randy’s shirt.  Did you see that thing?  I was shopping in Beverly Hills awhile ago and saw him coming out of one of those posh stores.  It may have been expensive, but I [...]

Hi Everybody!
Can you believe it’s Sunday already?  We’re right smack in the middle of NFL playoffs (go Vikings!), but before you know it Tuesday will be here!  American Idol auditions are in the windy city of Chicago.  Guest celebrity judge is Shania Twain.  Check it out Tuesday at 8:00 p.m.
In the meanwhile, stealing the spotlight [...]

SHi Everybody,
American Idol goes back to Atlanta for its next round of auditions.  After the typical first bad singer, the show quickly zips through four talented singers–all female–Keia Johnson, Miriam Lemnouni, Noel Reese and Tisha Holland.
The first male to get a golden ticket is Jermaine Sellers.  His career is church singer.  I never realized that [...]

Hi Everybody,
The show starts with the announcement that Paula is out and Ellen is in.  No mention of Simon deciding to quit after this season, but I’m sure that’s because the show is taped.
Of course, in typical American Idol fashion the first contestant is sadly untalented.  I don’t know if I’m going to be able [...]

Hi Everybody
Tuesday is around the corner and along with that the premiere of this year’s American Idol.  Auditions are held in Boston with four judges, but one of them is not Ellen DeGeneres.  Since she wasn’t signed on yet, AI used celebrity judge Victoria Beckham.  Ellen won’t come on the scene until Hollywood week.  She [...]
