Sorry so late with the update but my TiVo tanked and I had to searh out the performance online. Amazing how easy that is to do…now, thanks iTunes. Well we have arrived at Country Week earlier than usual this year. I guess Simon wanted to get it over with..Country week is notirious for claiming an [...]

Lil Rounds- (The Way you Make me Feel) I liked Lil’s rendition, she flipped the script and personalized a song that frankly is hard to imagine anyone but Michael Jackson singing. Good strong performance out the gate, the hardest position to be in on the first week. I am looking forward to her singing [...]

With yet another Idol front runner loosing a record deal so soon after appearing on the show, you have to wonder what the viability is of Idol as a venue for finding new talent..or is it just good TV? I guess Simon is serious when he says, “is all about finding a superstar”. But is [...]

The final show..
I was happy to see David Cook win AI last night. He seemed genuinely shocked and happy with the outcome. The fact that David C. was the winner after two of the three judges all but crowned Archuleta last night, proves that the Idol folks don’t really know what the public wants [...]

Preface: About the caption above..
The caption above is not meant to make fun of either performer. It’s just my way of saying that “Little David” as he has been dubbed, is actually more of a Goliath, when it comes to his fan base, his competitive spirit and his amazing and incredible vocals.

Sorry so late with this post…really busy lately. Since I am post elimination I want to say that I will miss Jason Castro. I didn’t realize it until after the fact..as the clips were rolling by of Jason’s journey on Idol. Jason was the only contestant that bought humor and life to the show this [...]

The final five all got to perform one song this week and then only the three not voted off got to perform a second song. Ryan “Seacrest”-Develin kept saying that only the second song would be judged but since the judges couldn’t make anyone safe there was no real point in giving any scores at [...]

With the double elimination the ranks are shrinking fast. I still stick to my original statement that this double elimination was a last minute decision to speed up the end of this series. Actually I missed the show this week and had to watch the online stream. Again the backstage interplay was the most interesting [...]

 
Brooke White- I have thought for weeks this girl on the verge of some sort of breakdown.
Tonight I was really sad to see her mess up and start over, I’m kind of on the fence about the whole thing I think it was okay to do but I do know that the professional thing to [...]
