I’m slowly entering the “astounded” phase of American Idol. I think we all know it  that incredulous four or five week span in which some blatantly outclassed singer somehow advances farther and farther in the singing competition as more talented folks drop by the wayside. Sanjaya remains the poster boy of such ridiculousness, but …

And now the shocking twist to this season of American Idol: judges will be able to save an ousted contestant anytime between now and the final five. But wait! There’s a twist on the twist. Judges can only exercise this mercy once! Dunh dunh dunhhhh!!! Who will they use it on? Well, certainly not Jasmine …

I’m just putting this out there: I thought last night’s Top Thirteen on American Idol was one of the strongest “opening nights” the show has ever had. All in all, there were no colossal failures. Some people may not have been super strong, but even the weak ones sounded decent. For once, I could actually …

Well, the gig is finally up for Tatiana Del Toro, who certainly brought the crazy for a spectacular flameout on American Idol last night. It was the Wild Card round, in case you hadn’t heard, and Tatiana pulled out all the stops  she did her crazy laugh, she squealed with emotion, and she even …
I can’t say that I was terribly surprised by last night’s results show of American Idol. We all knew Lil Rounds would sail on through to the next round, and after the rapturous (and undeserved) reception Scott received, he was a sure lock too. I’m still peeved about this â€â€Ã‚ just because the guy is blind …
Well, the final twelve semifinalists finally took the stage of American Idol last night, and the results were â€â€Ã‚ like every week  mixed. Pretty much all the guys were okay at best (mostly forgettable though), but the girls were fairly strong. In fact, I’d be hard pressed to say who will actually move forward tonight. …

I was so excited for American Idol last night, and the results were… eh. I can’t say I was particularly blown away by anyone, and I can’t say that anyone bombed in a spectacularly memorable fashion. Everyone was just sort of bland and forgettable. That being said, there’s still plenty to talk about, starting with …

What happens when you’re a cast member of Wicked trying to be a real rock ‘n’ roller? You get Adam Lambert, one of American Idol’s aspiring stars for season eight. The guyliner enthusiast has already achieved frontrunner status due to his soaring vocals (he performs in next week’s semifinals group), but he’s also attracted some …
America, you’ve got to be kidding me. Did you really fall for all the sentimental crap the producers shoveled out about personality-free performer Michael Sarver? Apparently you did because the sympathetic yet bland roughneck earned a place in the American Idol top twelve last night, baffling thousands of people who surely expected that spot to …
At long last, American Idol moved into its semifinals stage, and the results were decidedly mixed. Things started off promisingly at first with one increasingly strong showing after the next, but then the performances went south very, very quickly. Not helping matters was a glitch-laden broadcast that featured so many miscues on the technical end, …
