America was shocked Thursday night when “American Idol” favorite James Durbin did not make the coveted Top 3. Most fans expected one of the remaining female contestants to go but for the first time since Season 6, there are two girls in the Top 3. So your Top 3 is Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart and [...]

Tonight on American Idol 2011 another singer will be sent home while the newly formed Top 3 will be whisked away on planes to their hometowns for a tour de force of screaming fans and photo ops. Nigel tweeted earlier that there were over 70 million votes so we know there are tons of fans [...]

Did you get the feeling that Haley Reinhart took a little extra heat from the judges yet again last night after her performance of “Earth Song”? Well you’re not alone and you might even have some company in high places. American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe went to Twitter last night with some authoritative praise [...]

Lots of drama in store for us on American Idol 2011 tonight when the Top 4 become the Top 3. Will the judges’ strong rejection of Haley’s “Earth Song” selection be enough to sink her or did she redeem herself in round two? Scotty and James will likely be very safe this week, so that [...]

Can we please just pretend the first round of “American Idol’s” Top 4 performance show never happened? From the incredibly boring and lame songs to Randy Jackson’s nasty attack on Haley, I thought it was going to be the worst “Idol” I’ve ever seen. Why does Randy seem to really have it out for Haley. [...]

I’ve got my top hat and monocle ready for tonight’s 50′s music! Wait, that might not be the right era. Well too late now because I’m not getting my deposit back on this tux after spilling all that salsa. Supposedly we’re going to hear some freedom in the secondary song selections tonight (read: modern), so [...]

I hope you’ve got your Victory garden planted and ready because tonight on American Idol 2011 we’ll be visiting the post World War II songs of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Gee golly, Wally! Surely it can’t be all that bad, right? Well of course it could, but let’s hope it’s not. No word yet [...]

What I’d like to suggest the “American Idol” Top 4 do is NOT sing songs by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. But unfortunately that’s the entire theme. So they’ll be singing only songs from that song-writing duo of the “post World War II” era. Yeah, that’s how Wikipedia explains them. That’s kind of a long [...]

Was it just a week ago that I was ready to call this season for James Durbin? Well hold that thought because this week’s rankings could be subtitled “House of the Rising Haley” after her stock shot up in our polls. The former middle-of-the-pack singer surpassed Durbin and looks ready to challenge Scotty for the [...]

There’s less than three weeks to go on American Idol 2011 as the competition heats up and the songs get boring, really boring. If you thought Carole King music from the 70′s was out of date and out of touch then hang on to your butts! This week the Top 4 singers will take on [...]
