There were plenty of gasps Thursday night on “American Idol” when Casey Abrams was eliminated and I’m not sure why. I mean, does anyone remember the first time he was voted off? In 11th place? Yeah. That’s why this is no surprise. Maybe people were just more ready for Jacob Lusk to go instead. I [...]

It’s time for some American Idol results. Dim the lights, please! While we wait for the envelope, did you see the American Idol 2011 Tour has been announced? 44 stops from early July until early September will take this season’s Top 11 singers all over North America (there are a couple of Canadian events too!). [...]

Here comes the American Idol ax. Tonight on Idol’s results show we’ll learn who is eliminated and who is moving on to make up this season’s Top 5. The Carole King themed night delivered surprisingly well with some solid performances earning significant praise from Randy Jackson for Durbin and McCreery. The attention showered on James [...]

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 [...]

Well, this week the “American Idol” Top 6 take on songs of Carole King. I’ve already been chastised for suggesting it’s going to be a boring performance episode and after a couple hours of research for this blog post, I stand by that statement. It’s not because I don’t like Carole King. It’s because most [...]

“Uprising” wasn’t just James Durbin’s song choice for last week, it was his whole theme! The American Idol 2011 rankings were rattled this week when James hit the stage with possibly the most extravagantly executed performance of the season and skyrocketed to the top of the charts leaving most voters asking, “Scotty who?” Durbin took [...]

Then there were six. Can you believe we are down to just six American Idol 2011 Hopefuls left since the show started more than three months ago? There are just five weeks left in the season until one of the remaining singers is crowned the winner. Has your favorite made it this far? This week [...]

Siobhan Magnus, best known for her loud scream at the end of her songs, was eliminated from the competition tonight.  After the best night of singing I’ve heard from the idol contestants and over 33 million votes cast Mike, Casey and Siobhan landed in the bottom 3.  Mike was sent to safety which left my man Casey [...]
