I just realized that this is my last blog! I’m retiring from American Idol along with Simon Colwell. I didn’t really think about it until I started watching tonight’s results show. Thanks to all that read my ramblings! I appreciate your patience and comments! Special guest stars included Alice Cooper, a couple of Bee Gees, [...]
Attending American Idol’s finale was a lot of fun! We left our houses a little before 9:00 a.m. It took almost three hours to get to the Nokia Theater with Los Angeles traffic. After finding parking, we had to stand in line to wait for tickets, but we only had to wait about an hour. [...]
Hi Everyone! Counting up the votes for who will win American Idol was pretty easy. I don’t think any of the comments has Crystal as the winner. Overwhelmingly, Lee Dewyze is the choice–at least on this site! I do think that Crystal is a better all-around talent than Lee, but like everyone who commented, I [...]
Last night, when Ryan Seacrest announced that Lee Dewyze was safe, it was pretty obvious that Casey James was on his way out the door, wasn’t it? Does that mean that Lee received more votes than Crystal? I guess. The finale pits Crystal against Lee. Your paranoid blogger (Me!) thinks that American Idol took very [...]
According to some rumor blogs, American Idol may move to New York City next year. Word on the street is that producers are considering changing the format to one similar to “Big Brother”. In other words, the contestants will be followed by cameras 24 hours a day. Hmm. A replacement for judge Simon Colwell hasn’t [...]
Good Evening or Good Morning (whatever fits!), We are down to the final three contestants in American Idol. Tonight each contestant sings two songs. One song is chosen by the contestant and the second song will be chosen by the judges. Up first is Casey James with “Okay, it’s all right with me”. Well, it [...]
Last night, American Idol eliminated Michael Lynche from the competition. This leaves the final three as Crystal Bowersox, Lee Dewyze and Casey James. There wasn’t much drama during the elimination because the first person to be declared safe was Casey James. This left little doubt that Mike would be heading home. This week American Idol [...]
American Idol’s final four are singing songs from movies tonight. The mentor is Jamie Foxx. He mentored last season too. He’s very hands on and if he could just teach some of the contestants to sing…oops, sorry! Did I say write that? Lee Dewyze was up first singing “Kiss From A Rose”. Randy thought he [...]
I was just watching Ellen when she mentioned American Idol’s elimination last night and I thought “Oops!” I forgot to post the elimination results. This week, we said goodbye to Aaron Kelly. I don’t think he was quite ready to be the American Idol, but I was surprised to see him eliminated last night. I [...]
This is a big week for the final five contestants on American Idol. Singing Sinatra songs while being coached and accompanied by Harry Connick Jr., the idols will be on stage with the spotlight shining directly on to them. There won’t be any musical instruments to hide behind. First up is Aaron Kelly singing “Fly [...]
