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 […]

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 […]

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 are down to the final three!  Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Casey James.  All three IDOL finalists spent last weekend in their hometowns being praised.  Tonight, it’s time to be judged once again.  Only two will make it to next week’s big finale in the Nokia Theater.  And only one can become the next […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
