American Idol returns tonight with its Top 5 performances and this week we’re getting a double dose of songs from each of the remaining singers. Jacob, James, Haley, Lauren, and Scotty will each perform two songs to help fill the 90 minute run time of tonight’s show. The Idol theme tonight will be one song [...]

I said this week’s “American Idol” would be boring following last week’s elimination show recap. I thought this young group doing Carole King songs would never work. I stand corrected. It worked and it ended up being a pretty decent episode. We also got what I think is our first premature winner prediction from Randy [...]

American Idol 2011 returns with its Top 6 performing live tonight with songs by Carole King. With just a few weeks left to go in the competition there isn’t much deadwood left to cut. Chances are, a lot of you are going to be seeing your favorite going home before too long as we march [...]

It’s nearly show time! This week on American Idol 2011 the remaining six are performing songs from the catalog of prolific singer/songwriter Carole King. You might have asked, “who the heck is Carole King?” King peaked as a performer in the 70′s, but she’s been writing songs long before and long since. If you’ve turned [...]

I have to say I was looking forward to watching this episode of American Idol 2011 until they started with the opening act of bringing in the contestants who had been voted off.  There’s a reason none of them are still singing for our votes and it was noticeable last night when practically none of [...]

The “American Idol” Top 7 took on songs from the 21st Century and the overall show was way better than I ever thought it would be. I was very impressed with the opening number from the eliminated contestants. What an amazing idea that was. Pia Toscano even had great stage presence! I think that’s something [...]

American Idol 2011 returns with its Top 7 performing live tonight with songs from the 21st century. As the field continues to narrow the pressure gets turned up on the remaining performers. Let’s see how they handle it tonight for the live show. Join us in our Idol Chat room while we review tonight’s show [...]

Here they come, your American Idol 2011 Top 7 performers. The Idol Hopefuls will hit the stage and pick from the wide open selection narrowed only by the fact that the songs have to be from this century. That totally ruins my dream of Scotty country-fying “Mmm Bop.” They’ve taken away Pia. They’ve taken away [...]

What is the deal with the judges for American Idol 2011?  Did they all swallow a happy pill before the idols took the stage?  I was NOT impressed with anyone with the exception of James Durbin who rocked the “Heavy Metal”.  Finally we have a hardcore rocker to grace the idol stage but his voice [...]

OK, maybe the “American Idol” judges aren’t bad. But there’s something wrong when the only person they had an issue with tonight was Haley Reinhart. First of all, are they trying to get rid of all the girls? Really? Secondly, she had the ONLY good song choice of the night and it the performance wasn’t [...]
