Jacob Lusk started the night out and my first thought was “Bye-Bye”. Then the judges turn around and praise him. Huh? He’s just not modern enough and what the heck was with that outfit? My guess is that Jacob is a goner this week. Lauren Alaina was her usual talented, beautiful self. I don’t think [...]
West Coasters…Spoiler follows! Sorry everyone, it looks like you didn’t get a recap after yesterday’s show. I won’t recap, but I will comment! Why is it that James Durbin always gets special treatment when he performs? Not that I didn’t love it…I did! We probably coulda’ skipped those drummers though. It was great to [...]
My husband and I attended Reality Rally in Temecula California this weekend. This for charity event was created by Survivor contestant Gillian Larson. Reality Rally is an event modeled after The Amazing Race where teams race throughout the city in a competition involving crazy activities, all for the coveted trophy, cash prizes, and most importantly [...]
In the end, becoming famous is just “the luck of the draw”. Rihanna is famous. Is she that much better than, say Pia Toscano? Who knows? All that counts is that somebody, somewhere saw something about her and promoted her, etc…and there you have it a success…Rihanna. Where it gets touchy is the length of [...]
Tonight’s theme was hits from the movies. Not a hard theme since there are hundreds of movies with hundreds of song choices. The contestants were able to find songs that fit their specific singing talents. Scotty McCreery found his country song, although not the one that Jimmy Iovine thought he should do. Casey Abrams chose [...]
I watched Pia Toscano in the opening group number and she was grooving along with the rest…so why didn’t she groove when she was singing? I guess we’ll never know now. I’m sure there are a number of you out there shaking your head to see her eliminated so early. I wasn’t that surprised. I [...]
Tonight really showed that the remaining nine American Idol contestants belong right where they are…on that stage! I didn’t think there was a bad, or even a so-so performance among them. I thought they were all great. Top on my list is Paul McDonald. His energy, his guitar playing and his total connection to his [...]
At least once a season, I think every American Idol fan should spend some time listening to the contestants songs without seeing the performances. It makes you really concentrate on the song and the way it’s being sung. I usually do this every week on iTunes. Sometimes I’m very surprised to hear the vocals after [...]
Good job of changing it up American Idol! The tweeters loved hearing the contestants sing in pairs, trios and quartets. Scotty and Lauren are such a natural combination–too cute, country kids. It was a good start to the show. Both were declared safe from elimination. Naima sang with Jacob and she did a really good [...]
Let me start by saying I adore Elton John. I know the words to practically every one of his songs. I grew up listening to him and he is a World Idol. So, perhaps that’s why I had a tough time listening to the American Idol contestants sing his songs. I want Elton John to [...]
