Ryan Seacrest‘s words, not ours! Last night on American Idol it was all about final impressions — Adam Lambert and Kris Allen needed to pick the right songs and hit the right notes to remind us why we like them. They both did a good job, but it was pretty clear that Adam did a [...]

Gokey’s Gone! Kris Allen Makes The Idol Finals
Charts, schmarts. Kris Allen arrived on Idol with little to no fanfare, and now he’s in the top 2 with chosen one Adam Lambert. Looks like Danny Gokey‘s Christian television cult couldn’t make up for his tight pants and sloppy singing. What was Milwaukee’s own thinking as he pressed his finger to his lip, feigned [...]
Danny’s Cameltoe And Other Idol Top 3 Horrors
You are so beautiful to meeeeeOOHH MY GODDD!!! The Top 3 got two songs each last night on American Idol—first they had to sing the worst possible song the judges could think of, then they had to sing the crap they plan to peddle on us once they’re off the show. Naturally, the second song [...]
Danny Gokey Messes Up In Milwaukee
And you thought his scream was bad—Danny Gokey‘s performance of “Billie Jean” during his Milwaukee homecoming would have steam coming out of Simon Cowell‘s ears. Blaming a lyric sheet that blew away, Gokey stands silently at first, before arguing with the back-up singers (one announcing “I’d leave it to the professionals!”), messing up the arrangement [...]
Allison Iraheta’s Idol Elimination Has Dashed All Of Our Dreams
Last night we shed a single tear for Allison Iraheta who, despite 64 million votes being cast on Tuesday, got the lowest amount and was ousted from American Idol. It pains us to admit that our baby’s gone. We know Adam Lambert is going to win this now, he’s the only performer the judges haven’t [...]
I Wanna Rock! (Because No One Last Night Did)
It’s Rock Week on American Idol! We’ve got Slash! We’ve got duets! Some sign above the stage rocked so hard it fell down! But if Slash is your mentor, we half expect these kids to sing some G’n’R or hey, what about “Enter Sandman”? Songs that are a little dirty and gritty…ROCK, y’know? Instead we [...]
Taylor Hicks Vs. Danny Gokey: Who’s Better?
Idol front-runner Danny Gokey is frequently compared to Season 6 winner Taylor Hicks, thanks to their gritty voices and stocky bodies (“I’d like think I was just a little bit better dancer,” Hicks said in March). Though they didn’t duet (for better or worse), the pair finally shared the stage yesterday. Though some critics think [...]
Timberfake Eliminated, Lambert Bottoms Out
As we predicted, Matt Giraud was booted from American Idol this week, but in a moment we didn’t expect, his fellow bottom (hee) was Adam Lambert. Apparently that was something NO one expected and there was shock, confusion and a moment of silence so Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi could work through their feelings. We [...]
Cylon Week On Idol: The Final Five
This week’s American Idol felt predictable because a) it was Rat Pack theme week which means we got a bunch of standards, but without any of the banter, martini-sloshing, and stage presence that made the Rat Pack so enjoyable and b) there are four solid contestants left and one inconsistent Matt Giraud, who is probably [...]
Is Kris Allen More Popular Than Danny Gokey?
Simon Cowell told TV Guide “nobody would have predicted the possibility that the third place is Kris [Allen]” in a recent interview, but if iTunes is any indication, the American Idol judge may be in for an even bigger surprise. According to the New York Post, the usually-secret sales chart for Idol mp3s was briefly [...]
