Congrats to KRIS ALLEN!! The “Dark Horse” winner of American Idol 8!!

I know. I haven’t been around since last summer and I show up on AI8 finale night to finally chat up with y’all. Well, things have been very strange and crazy since last August. The short list of changes has been:
Mom in and out of hospital
I changed jobs (this one is the [...]

CI6: The Top 5 sing the Fab 4

Another “down and dirty” Idol review this week, peeps, (I’m away from home and doing this on the fly), and it was the BEST Beatles show with spot on judges’ picks and some great performances. It’s gonna be a tight race to the finish since all the contestants are finally bringing their “A” games. Here’s [...]

CI 6 – The Results: Amberly gets ambushed!

One unhappy camper here, people!
The last woman standing on Canadian Idol has been dismissed before hitting the Top 5 and this American is definitely crying “foul!”  She certainly was not the worst in the vocal department this week and her performance was more outgoing and natural than in weeks prior.  So what happened?
Two things:  first, [...]

CI6: Top 6 Week: Simply Canadian

Sorry I’m a little late with my reviews this week but my normal Canadian video junkie was out of commission and I had to scramble and find a new supplier. Good [...]

CI 6: “The British are coming…and it’s not unusual for Canadians, I suppose…”

This is one of my quick, down-and-dirty reviews so let’s just get to it. With Sir Tom Jones giving them some sage advice, it looked and sounded to me that most of them listened and tried to switch it up a little this week.
So, how did I rate the contestants this week? Here are [...]

CI 6: Top 8 Results…and what a surprise!

Well, Canada got it right — even if it was a week late. Ladies, I’m sorry but Sebastian deserved to go. He did well enough to get into the Top 24 but after that it was a hit or miss effort with more misses than hits. I’m not sorry to see him go however I [...]

The Results: One Woman, Eight Men…some odds…

…and I STILL don’t get this regional voting thing!  Sorry, ladies, but Sebastian has worn out his welcome and from the looks of it, may not even be trying that hard.  One week off one’s game is excusable, but two or more weeks leads me to believe that he is not cut out to go [...]

CI 6 – And then there were Nine…in Rock n’ Roll Heaven!

Since some of my fans were having a tough time finding the videos for this season, I decided to post them here and pray really hard that the “video Gestapo” would leave them be. These clips are being posted on other Idol sites and nothing has happened so far so I figured why not. Let’s [...]

Canadian Idol 6: Top 16 – Night 2

It’s Top 16, take two! So let’s just cut to the chase and get to the review, shall we?

Mitch MacDonald
Blue – J Hawks
Has a very distinct vocal sound…it hasn’t grown on me yet…not familiar with the song but he seemed to perform it well…it was just OK for me…
Might be on the bubble b/c apparently [...]

Gone Fishin’?

Well, I guess I should have told you all that I was going away this week and probably wouldn’t be posting anything on CI’s Top 20 week.  I wanted to keep up with the reviews but the connection I had at the convention I was attending was sooooooo slow and I had precious little time [...]
