About Last Night…

…I want to give MAJOR props to Dancing with the Stars for being the classy reality show they are and wasting their first seven minutes of their first results show to allow AI to squeeze even more advertising dollars into an already commercial heavy show.  DWTS has tried to play fair with AI and not [...]

Top 10 – Gwen Stefani & the Artists That Inspire Her

I wasn’t sure what to think of tonight’s theme, or lack thereof, so all I prayed for was good song choices and not-too-over-the-top performances. 
 
I wasn’t as disappointed as I could have been.
 
That made me happy.
 
But I’m beginning to worry about the direction this show is heading in.  Seems like some folks are trying to [...]

Top 11 – The Music of the 60’s British Invasion

Music is subjective, dear readers. Some folks will just LOVE a performance and others will pan it. If you’re Simon Cowell, you’ll just want everyone to agree with you because you think you’re right. However, it doesn’t quite work that way my dear Brit and that is why there are as many [...]

I was on American Idol (feat. Blake Lewis)

OK, this has got to be the pinnacle of Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame — but it’s also DAMN FUNNY! Rock on, Ethan!

“So long, farewell…”

… to BRANDON ROGERS, our first guy who got “das boot” from the competition.  I can’t believe I finally got one right this season — whoo hoo — and I got 2 out of 3 in the bottom three.  Not bad.  I didn’t understand why Phil was down there but I hope it serves as [...]

Top 24: and then there were 7 really good gals and a clunker…

At least the gals did NOT disappoint tonight, unlike last night’s narcoleptic nightmare known as the Final 8 guys.  It’s shaping up to be a lopsided Top 12 with guys most likely leaving first, but I’m getting a little ahead of myself.  Let’s see what I saw from my red leather couch on this night [...]

Top 24: and then there were 8 guys…

Ok, now that we’ve had some excitement on the blog this week, we probably should get back to the task at hand — finding this season’s AMERICAN IDOL! That goal seems to get lost among all the photos and fights and conjecture that surrounds this show but the producers seem to love all [...]

Since we can’t seem to play nicely…

…all comments will now be moderated. Sure, we have free speech in the country but I own this little corner of cyberspace and I want to maintain some semblance of order.
This blog is an all-IDOL hangout so there may be younger folk among us who I would like to look out after (I used [...]

Top 24 – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Part 2

Feeling MUCH better today, thanks, and I’m ready for some IDOL!  Since I was out tonight supporting my local theatre, I watched this show in fast forward — the ONLY way to avoid those pesky commercials. 
 
Anywho, here’s tonight’s view from my red leather couch thanks to my DVR that just loves to fast forward [...]
