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!

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!
I hope you are enjoying your summer!  I know I am!
Last night was the American Idol concert in my area, Ontario California.  As you would expect, it was crowded, loud and filled with screaming women.  Following the tradition of past concerts, before the show started a huge movie screen showed past Idol stars and [...]

Hi Everyone!
Finally a theme choice that lets everyone sound incredible!   These five American Idols definitely live up to all the hype.  I had chills throughout the whole show!  It will be a shame to see one of them leave tomorrow night.  Can’t we just keep all five of them? 
Jamie Foxx is the week’s mentor for [...]

Hi,
American Idol seemed to throw their idea of a “themed” show out the window tonight when they put Frankie Avalon, Flo Rida and Kellie Pickler all on the same show.  Talk about three way different types of music!
Anoop Desai is the first to end up in the bottom three.  Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are announced safe.  The [...]

Hi Everyone,
Tonight on American Idol the final nine contestants will perform songs from the “most downloaded” list.  This gives the contestants a chance to show their marketability.  But, they also run the risk of competing with a current vocal superstar by choosing a song that screams that superstar’s name.  Since these songs are popular and [...]
