    Idol Update

    May 14, 2009 /

    As you may have noticed, I gave up my Idol recaps – mainly due to the fact that the show has become a little bit of a joke this year. Don’t get me wrong, the contestants are better than ever, but the judges banter, Ryan’s staircase, the news that the bottom three are not “accurate”, and the overly hyped pre-taped performances each week. It’s just a little sad that this show has become more generic than ever. And why are the judges all over the magazine covers, rather than the contestants? Does anyone really care if Paula and Kara are feuding? I certainly don’t and I since my recaps started…

    Forgetting Danny Gokey

    May 12, 2009 /

    During his recent visit to his hometown of Milwaukee, Danny Gokey, chose to sing “Billie Jean”, his song choice for the Michael Jackson themed show. Unfortunately for Mr. Gokey, he didn’t bother to practice or learn the lyrics. At the very beginning of the performance, his lyric sheet blew away and he proceeds to spend the rest of the song stumbling around like a real amateur. I’m sure the Idol folks will “forget” to include this in his footage on tonight’s show. Lucky for us, a fan captured the whole thing…

    "I’m on Patron Tequila, I’m drunk on Margaritas"

    May 10, 2009 /

    Hey kids, exciting news! Tonight I get to watch The Paradiso Girls take the stage at Beta in Denver to kick off their first club tour. Denver is their first stop and I predict it’s only going to explode from here. Their first single, “Patron Tequila” is already becoming a cult favorite and is sure to be summer hit and huge club banger! The single is available on iTunes now, so if you don’t have it, you should. The girls are the newest bunch of beauties hand picked by the one and only, Robin Antin, who created The Pussycat Dolls and Girlicious. If you watched the reality series, The Pussycat…

    Fight For Love…And The Spotlight

    May 8, 2009 /

    Idol’s Season 5 contestant, Elliott Yamin, celebrated mild success with his first, self-titled, album, but he’s back with his sophomore album, Fight For Love. Today, we bring you the video for the first single and title track. He’s definitely got a talent, but he’s missing the star factor that Carrie & Kelly have brought us from years past. He’s a fighter, so I don’t think this is the last time we’ll hear from him. Lois, this one’s for you!

    Results Show Spectacular!

    May 7, 2009 /

    Last night’s Idol results show really showed up in a big way. Although, I think the thing is rigged – Alison definitely should have stayed, while Danny should have gone-key! But, the performances from last night’s show were awesome! I wouldn’t have predicted this, but Paula Abdul performance was the highlight of the show. Her comeback performance screamed that she’s ready to be back on top and she was twirling, flipping, and dancing her butt off to prove just that. Then, No Doubt, performed one of their biggest hits, “Just A Girl”, which seemed a little off, but hey they’ve been out of the scene for a while, so they’re…

    "Crazy" Fan

    May 6, 2009 /

    At a recent Britney show, a fan rushed the singer during her encore performance of “Womanizer”. The singer was spooked by the fan and, judging by this video didn’t have her microphone on during the song. No surprise, but if y’all want to meet your favorite star, remember this: Scaring the $^!+ out of them isn’t the way to do it. Take a look at the video, it happens toward the end, but you can definitely see how scared she was:

    Where Are They Now?

    Tonight’s the Top 4 on American Idol and we can hardly wait to see Slash mentor the contestants to bring out their inner Axl Rose, as well as see the first time Idol makes the contestants duet as a part of the competition. We also can’t wait for the results show, which has a few surprises in store. Daughtry and No Doubt will be performing their new singles, as we previously reported, but it has just been learned that Paula Abdul will also be premiering her new single, which will apparently be the lead single from a new album coming out this Fall. And we’re hearing her performance is actually…

    Idol Update

    May 4, 2009 /

    On this week’s rock-themed show, not only will the contestants be performing a solo song, they will also team up with one of the other contestants for a “rocking” duet. This will either be incredibly great or go horribly wrong; either way it will make for some great TV. It will also, likely, have an effect on the voting, seeing as one set (whoever is teamed with Lambert) of contestants might do much better than another set – helping boost the final votes. Also, ex-Idol producer, Nigel Lythgoe, revealed that most of the time the bottom 3 is not revealed to America in the correct order. The producers are given…
