Late last week, the affable and very busy Randy Jackson took a bit of time to talk to a group of journalists/bloggers about this season of American Idol [Fox, Wednesdays/Thursdays, 8/7C]: ratings, tweaking the format, the contestants and even the rumor that one of his acts might become a judge for a singing competition on, […]

American Idol Recap
Haven’t talked much about this year’s Idol. The talent is probably the best they have had in years, but I still hate the theme weeks. I don’t get the whole Casey Abrams or Paul McDonald thing. My pick for this year is the howdy doody, Tom Hank’s love child Scotty. Here’s a recap from this […]
Ellen and Kara Booted from American Idol!
Ellen Degeneres made the announcement official, she is leaving American Idol. TMZ is reporting that Kara Dioguardi is also out (although that announcement isn’t official)? leaving the Dog Pound and Randy Jackson the last man standing. Yo, Dog, that’s hot! Not. Ellen said she had trouble criticizing the singers and in her official statement that […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (05.26.10 Finale)
Season 9 of AMERICAN IDOL is about to come to an end. Who will wear the crown? It’s mom and indy girl Crystal Bowersox versus former paint store guy and rocker Lee DeWyze. Everyone pretty much agrees that Crystal took the night last night, but that doesn’t always translate into a win. Also tonight, Simon […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (05.25.10)
THIS IS IT! We are down to Lee and Crystal. Both age 24, both from the Chicago auditions. Who will become the next American Idol??? Odds on favorite is Lee DeWyze. Lee was also named favored to win by Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson. Will that cause Crystal’s fans to come out in force? We […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (05.19.10)
Last night was, without a doubt, Lee DeWyze’s night. Both of his performances were just spectacular. He proved he is in this competition to win it. His rivals, favorite Crystal Bowersox and some guy named Casey James. I refer to Casey that was because last night he was out of his league. He simply should not […]

We’re getting to the end, finally! Tonight one more IDOL hopeful goes home (me thinks Casey James) and then it’s the Top 3 who will travel to their hometowns for a heroes welcome. Also coming up on tonight’s show, Daughtry featuring former IDOL hopeful, Chris Daughtry, and Fantasia. And then some rock band named Bon […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (05.11.10)
Before we get to tonight’s show, here’s your chance to tell IDOL producers what you think. They want your opinion of the show. Seriously, they do. They have hired a company to conduct a survey of IDOL viewers. It’s very detailed and covers everything from the judges to mentors to themes, contestants and more. This is your […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (05.05.10)
It’s another results night and tonight, once again, someone goes homes. I think it’s Casey James after his horrible performance last night, but I am never right. Although, tonight I might be. In any case, this week’s mentor and music arranger, Harry Connick, Jr., will perform tonight as will chart topper Lady Gaga. I can […]
