American Idol Season 7

Before I get started recapping tonight's Atlanta auditions, let me first apologize for my lazy AI "recap" last Tuesday, and my total absence a day later for the 6th episode of the season.  Derrick and I still don't have DVR installed, and we had plans that evening that prevented us from viewing the show.  Anyway . . . tonight's episode of AMERICAN IDOL, though still short of the "bad auditions" we used to love, was probably the best of the season, with some truly great auditions full of a...Read Full Story

The first thing I did this morning when I woke up was check dialidol. Really. It’s an illness, I can admit that now, when its almost over and I don’t have to think about it again until I go to the concert in July. Anyway, I wanted to see what dialidol had to say about who was gonna win American Idol. It says David Cook. And dialidol has never been wrong. At least it has never been wrong for this week, for the final winner. My mother won’t even discuss it. She has already decided that David...Read Full Story

I'm not quite sure what to make of tonight's episode of AMERICAN IDOL . . . it was a night of previously un-aired random auditions . . . good and bad . . . culled from the previous 7 shows of the current season.  I may be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen the show do this before.  I won't get into any specifics on the contestants we saw tonight, other than to say I was VERY HAPPY to see the producers give some airtime to the HOT twins from Carolina . . . Chris and Cory Lane!  While...Read Full Story

I know I am now a little johnny-come-lately to this, but I wasn't able to compose a posting last night due to plans with friends, but how shocked is everyone that Michael Johns was eliminated from AMERICAN IDOL last night?? I didn't even have Michael pegged for the "Bottom 3" (which also included Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado . . . as predicted), and here he is voted off of the show now! WOW!! Some are calling this the most shocking elimination in AI history, and there are even hints...Read Full Story

It was showtunes night (or more specifically Andrew Lloyd Webber night) on AMERICAN IDOL this evening, and one of W's favorite contestants faltered big time . . . and may just find herself going home tomorrow night. But more on that in a bit. Derrick and I both agree that the best of show award goes to David Archuleta and his unique take on "Think of Me" . . . the boy was absolutely fantastic even if seemingly lost track of his vocals for a nanosecond. I think the new arrangement was...Read Full Story

WOW! It's been a while since I've blogged about one of our favorite shows... but this has been a nail biter! Last week's show was by far, the funniest, with Simon being called my the girl that was his first kiss! He immediately knew her by her voice and knew her last name! Super Impressive! Way to go Simon! This week, we are down to the last 4!  We were so sad to see Kristy Lee go, and last week - Brooke White! I hope and wish everything but the best to both girls! I just know they will...Read Full Story

David Archuleta and David Cook- American Idol Season 7 finalists.It was no big shock to me that David Cook won American Idol this year.With all the 'Stage-Daddy Drama' of David Archuleta's dad, this may have hurt Archuleta's popularity just enough for him not to be the winner.The question is, "Did anyone really care?"Is American Idol just growing old?There was a lot of drama this year with the cast but overall, I was not entertained.I hope that David Cook can keep up his celebrity status...Read Full Story

American Idol has just completed its first week of auditions and I've picked my favorite ' crazy ' thus far (let's be honest - we know there's more to come). Her name is Alexis Cohen from Allentown, PA (A-town's gonna be pissed!) and... video and more on LayDdee.com ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]Read Full Story

By Deb Porter-Jones This Season begins with our judges, Randy, Simon and Paula choosing what they believed to be the best of 164 contestants: 12 guys and 12 girls.  Tonight, we’re introduced to the guys first who had to sing all ‘60’s music.  Danny Noriega – An 18-year-old who also got cut last season after making it to Hollywood week.  He sang an Elvis favorite, “Jailhouse Rock,” and let’s just say he put a lot of himself into his performance.  This kid is definitely talented and if you...Read Full Story
