Apparently, limiting marriage rights in California isn’t enough for some anti-gay activists so they’re taking their message to concerts too, like this week’s American Idol concert in San Jose. A crowd of protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church (home of Fred Phelps, hatemonger to end all others) came to the Idol concert on Sunday to [...]

Idol Recap: America, What’s Your Deal?
Some things just boggle the mind. Like for instance, how that Nicolas Cage movie beat that Julia Roberts/Clive Owen movie AND Watchmen AND I Love You, Man at the box office last weekend. Sometimes we just don’t get people’s taste. Right now, we are questioning how America could put Matt Giraud in the bottom two [...]
Idol Recap: Lambert Redeems Himself, Lil Rounds Stinks On Motown Night
Every week, the musical genre is supposed to “belong” to one or two specific contestants. Last week people figured Michael Sarver and his Texan oil-rigging ways would kill the country genre, but his performance was a barely intelligible, only just-good-enough performance. This week was Motown week with special mentor Smokey Robinson, and Kara DioGuardi said [...]
Idol Recap: Alexis Grace Cut. Right Or Wrong?
Ryan Seacrest told us early on last night that the final results might shock us, so right off the bat we knew that someone big, someone key to the entire Idol early prediction process, would face the judges. When it came down to Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver in the bottom two, it was Alexis [...]
American Idol Staffer Says Final Four Are Rigged
The New York Daily News reports that an American Idol staffer is telling people that the show’s creators have already chosen this season’s top four—allegedly Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds—despite the fact that there are still eleven contestants that, well, America gets to choose from. Those ARE the people…Adam Lambert and [...]
American Idol Recap: Results Feb. 26
During last night’s results show, three lucky (some would say very lucky) singers made it to the finals. Some of our predictions from yesterday came true and some did not. It seems that America loves an underdog (a Michael Sarver, if you will) and last night’s Michael Sarver was, inexplicably, Kris Allen. We did not [...]
American Idol Recap: 5 Moments We Loved, Feb. 25
“It’s too late for advice now,” Simon Cowell ominously responded when Ryan Seacrest asked if any of the judges had a nugget of wisdom for this round of contestants. This week’s performances included a couple of seasoned performers, two single mothers, two high school students, a Norman Gentle, and a guy who has Kate from [...]
Danny Gokey Vs. Michael Sarver: Battle Of The Backstories!
One works on an oil rig, the other is a recent widow. But only on can be your American Idol…or neither, if one of the other ten contestants in the Top 12 wins. While the show is still a singing competition, it never hurts to have a touching story for fans to identify with and [...]
Anoop Dog: A Lock For Idol‘s Wild Card?
Fans of Idol contestant Anoop Desai shouldn’t be too distraught over his surprise loss to oil rig roughneck Michael Sarver. After America selects 9 of the Top 12, the final three will be selected by the judges in a special “Wild Card” episode. And there’s little doubt that Anoop will get a spot. Why? He’s [...]
American Idol Recap: Results
Despite the fact that these hour-long results shows could easily be done away with, at least they get crap done. We lost nine contestants last night, which is pretty significant, but when we weren’t excitedly watching the reveal of who got to stay and who had to go, we had to watch filler like the [...]
