It’s another night of American Idol and we are down to the TOP 5.  This week’s mentor is my fellow New Orleanian, Harry Connick, Jr. and the theme is “Songs from Frank Sinatra.”  It will be interesting to see how our Top 5 interprets “Old Blue Eyes.”  However, Connick, Jr. is going a step above […]

It’s another elimination night.  33 million votes were cast last night and another IDOL hopeful is about to go home!  Who will it be?  I predicted Big Mike is going.  But we shall see.  Shania Twain was the mentor last night and tonight it’s pure country with Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum performing.  Shakira performing […]

It’s country night on IDOL!  More specifically, it’s Shania Twain night.  The Top 6 will take on the country diva’s greatest hits.  When I looked on iTunes I was surprised to see that Twain had more than 50 songs!!!  She should be a good mentor for the IDOL crew.  If there is one night that Aaron Kelly […]

  The Top 7 are about to become the Top 6, but not before 2 hours of “Idol Gives Back.”  This is the night that celebs ask you to dig deep and help out the various charities that American Idol supports in our country and across the globe.  Ryan Seacrest is hosting the show in Hollywood […]

Sorry for the lateness of the recap tonight!  Duty called…and then I had to sober up.  And now I’m fust jine.  Oops, that’s just fine. {hiccup} Seriously, I am sober.  Promise.  Tonight, it’s Inspiration night on American Idol and leading the top 7 IDOL hopefuls is mentor Alicia Keys.  It’s part of the “Idol Gives Back” theme […]

It’s a big night on IDOL.  TWO, yes, TWO are going home thanks to last week’s judges’ “SAVE” of Michael Lynche.  My IDOL senses tell me it’s Andrew Garcia and Aaron Kelly.  Both had weak performances last night, but my senses have been off this season.  Sigh.  Speaking of performances, IDOL mentor and runner up […]

It’s another week of IDOL fun and tonight Elvis is king!!!  Presley’s songs are the theme this week.  Also tonight, the IDOLS will be working with “mentor” Adam Lambert.  Don’t get me started on this choice.  I have griped to everyone who would listen.  Ugh!  Only on reality television is the loser of a reality show considered […]

It’s results night yet again and soon enough there will be just 8 IDOL contestants.  The theme this week was Lennon/McCartney and overall the IDOLS did a pretty good job.  My prediction is that THIS is the night Katie Stevens goes home.  She has a small fan base and has been consistently in the bottom three.  Then […]

It’s that time again.  Tonight, we hear the Top 9 perform to the Lennon/McCartney song book.  This is always a hard week.  Songs from the Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney are iconic and legendary.  I’m not a fan of their music, but it’s kinda hard to top what they have done.  A few years […]

Time for another IDOL results show where one contestant will be going home tonight.  Last night I predicted that Katie Stevens (pictured) would be going, not because she had a bad performance, but because I don’t think she has a following and she was in the bottom three last week.  So was Tim Urban, but […]

It’s time for the Top 10 to perform.  Tonight is R&B/Soul night and who better than Usher (pictured) to mentor our finalists and that he does with some great advice and direction.  This is what the contestants need.  Also coming up, last week, favorite Crystal Bowersox promised a surprise tonight and I cannot wait to […]
