Neil Diamond night, eh? Ok, he’s not one of my favorite performers but I have liked a lot of his songs through the years and our Idols did a decent job overall with the ones they chose. Tonight’s format was a little different and I did like the fact that the judges had to wait [...]

I was dreading tonight. Seriously. As much as I love Broadway I have NEVER wanted the contestants on Idol to ever come anywhere near the stuff. Trust me – I never once thought that they couldn’t handle the genre. Maybe it was one too many times hearing the Brit tell some poor kid that he [...]

Ok, gang…here’s the blog you’ve been waiting for – J’s song suggestions for this week’s Andrew Lloyd Webber night. Being the “Broadway baby” that I am, I was very happy that our Idols would FINALLY have to tackle songs that HAVE TO sound like Broadway! Simon will certainly be “Mr. Cranky Pants” for this part [...]

Top 7 – The Mariah Carey Songbook – “I’ve been waiting forever for this…” – NOT!!!!!

This will be another quick review week because I definitely felt that this was going to be a boring night of singing and I wasn’t wrong in my assumptions.

The Top 8 / “That don’t inspire me much…”

Ok, so Idol Gives Back wasn’t any better than last year, IMHO.

Two and one half hours is not enough [...]
