Time to “ramp up” this blog…updated again!

Happy New Year!
I know I have been away far too long from my AI friends and fans so I guess this is as good a time as any to start cranking up the creative wheels again and get this blog back on a regular schedule. Speaking of schedules, I’m sure [...]

This looks about right…

This looks about right, gang, but I’m not surprised our sweet Melissa placed at 5th overall and that an under-rated Diana De Garmo ended up last.

Are we serious here???

Then again, this IS American Idol — the one singing competition that is more about popularity with little girls than true vocal and performing ability.

Top 3 – “Three Way Song Affair”

After six seasons of American Idol one would think I would know better than to get all upset over the predictable and inevitable “stacking of the deck” against one of the contestants.  It seems we’ve all “heard that song before” and this Top 3 night was simply more of the same old script.  Could Simon [...]
