Tonight begins my least favorite of the Idol shows…the results show. Idol producers have to stretch a 5 minute announcement into one hour. So let the waiting begin. Tonight 4 people are going home, the two guys and two gals with the lowest votes. We’ll also be treated to performances by former Idol winner Kris […]

TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (02.24.10)
Tonight it’s the guys turn to take over the mic. Like the ladies, they are singing songs from the Billboard chart. It will be interesting to see if they guys take the advice the judges gave the ladies last night. Simon helps inspire the guys by saying he watched some of the rehearsals earlier and […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Recap 02.23.10
The live performances begin. For the next 3 weeks, girls and guys perform separately and America will vote for their favorites. Tonight, it’s Ladies Night and hits from the Billboard charts. We have a few surprises and some disappointments. Only a couple of performances were “wow” performances and the judges really seemed to love Lilly […]
TELEVISION: IDOL Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, OH MY!
Well, it only took nine years for IDOL to get hip to social networking. In the past seasons, contestants were contractually obligated to shut down their Facebook and MySpace pages, but this year, the producers have had a change of heart. Not only will the contestants have approved (and I am pretty sure monitored) […]

Michelle has a Fun, but Odd Night Out at Grease! Features Taylor Hicks and Ace Young!
Grease is the word, that I heard, it’s got a move, it’s got a groove….After being snowed in for 5 days, I was itching to get out of the house. My first post Snowpocalypse event was taking in an odd, but stellar performance of Grease at The National Theater here in Washington, DC. I didn’t […]

*****SPOILER ALERT**** If you live on the West Coast, don’t read this. For those of you on the East Coast, YES! YES! YES! These are the Idol episodes we have been waiting for. It’s Hollywood Week where we separate the men from the boys, the women from the girls and the queens from the, well, […]
Television: American Idol Recap 02.03.10
This is a new show but it spans all of the audition cities featuring great talent. In the past, IDOL has been criticized for not doing enough to promote some of the folks who make it to Hollywood. Therefore, this show is aptly titled “The Best For Last.” Here’s hoping. MINI-RECAP *Name to Remember: DIDI BENAMI, inspired by […]
