Danny Noriega, late of American Idol, has released a music video that’s pretty much as silly as you’d expect it to be. It’s nowhere near is ridiculous as say the canon of Heidi Pratt (née Montag), but then again, that’s not saying much. Here Danny teams up with a mysterious woman named Diamonique, who may …

I’m telling you now, this is the best, funniest, and most entertaining Adam Lambert interview you will ever read. No hyperbole. It’s hilarious. My friend Michelle at Best Week Ever had the luxury of cozying up next to the glam rocker, and the two got along like two peas in a pod (assuming one pea …

The eighth season of American Idol wrapped up last night, and like last year’s finale, the contest came down to a much-hyped, odds-on favorite and a quieter dark horse with surprising resiliency. But would the outcome be the same? Would The Chosen One go down in flames for a second year in a row? Well, …

Well, we only have a few more hours left before American Idol ends its eight season and a new victor is crowned. Who will it be? The odds on favorite is Adam Lambert, the squealing costume factory who has earned almost unmitigated praise from the judges all season. However, sneaky Kris Allen could wind up …
Photo courtesy of Rickey.org I should have more faith in America. After David Cook pulled the surprise â€â€Ã‚ and deserved â€â€Ã‚ upset over David Archuletta on last year’s American Idol finale, I should have realized that often America doesn’t blindly follow the misguided praise of the judges. If I had remembered that, I wouldn’t have been so …

There can only be one explanation for the unmitigated praise that the American Idol judges bestowed on Adam and Danny last night: crack. Well, I suppose there’s a second explanation: the music must just sound different live. Danny and Adam, who admittedly have very powerful voices, must translate stupendously well in person because on TV, …

So Danny Gokey went back to Milwaukee this weekend, and a funny thing happened at his hometown concert: his lyrics blew away in the wind. Yes, just as he was starting up a rendition of the classic Michael Jackson tune “Billie Jean,” his crib sheet flittered off in the wind, perhaps the result of not-so-divine …

Going into tonight’s results show of American Idol, prognosticators across the Internet were picking Kris Allen to be the unlucky sap to go home this week. If not him, then Allison Iraheta’s number would be up. But what about Danny Gokey? He sounded like a blimp losing air for most of his performance, and while …
So it was rock week on American Idol last night, and I for one was excited. After having suffered through the dreary doldrums of the Rat Pack genre (not to mention Jamie Foxx’s curious ramblings), I was ready for some energetic, ballad-free music. And guess what? Overall, that’s pretty much what we got. Last night’s …

I didn’t get around to recapping this week’s American Idol results show (spoiler alert: Matt G. went home; also, Jamie Foxx continued to be insufferable), but as an apology, I offer you this neat Where Are They Now? segment, courtesy of the TV Guide Channel. A pleasant diversion from the fray, but the real reason …
