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 [...]
Idol Cuts Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai
Everything went according to plan on Idol last night. Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds were out, Matt Giraud stayed in, and the other four had nothing (almost nothing, anyway) to worry about. And now that the Judges’ Save is used up, there’s none of that fun “Sing for your life!” business anymore to humiliate the [...]
Idol Recap: Lil Rounds On The Chopping Block?
So obviously Lil Rounds will get eliminated this week, that’s just common sense. The judges have it out for the poor woman. But after we so boldly proclaimed last week that Matt Giraud, despite his Judges’ Save, would get the boot this week, we’re not so sure anymore. Even though the judges were tepid about [...]
Paula Abdul To Perform On American Idol?
After eight years of judging on American Idol, Paula Abdul may finally perform on the show. Responding to a fan on her Twitter Sunday, the Forever Your Girl singer wrote “I wouldn’t be surprised if you catch me on stage in the next month…stay tuned….” While Abdul has her first album since 1995 to hype, [...]
Idol Recap: Bad Songs From Cinema And The Contestants That Love Them
When we heard that the theme for this week’s American Idol was songs from cinema, we were psyched and thought we’d hear “Diamonds Are Forever” from Adam Lambert (of all the contestants, he’s the one with an inner Eartha Kitt), or we thought maybe Anoop Desai would sing “Gangster’s Paradise”, there are plenty of kickass [...]
Quentin Tarantino Returns To American Idol, But Will He Sing?
Quentin Tarantino, who served as a guest judge on American Idol in 2004 (check out his cruel cutdown of Diana DeGarmo above), will return to the show next week, when the Top 7 take on “Songs Of The Cinema.” This time Tarantino will act as the cast’s mentor instead of a judge. Should be fun, [...]
Idol: America Turns A Blind Eye to Scott (Too Soon?)
There were only about eight minutes of actual content in last night’s results show of American Idol, and of that content, none of it was remarkable. Unless you count the celebrity sightings of Mario Lopez and the mayor of Kalamazoo, Michigan. We knew that Scott MacIntyre would probably be sent to the bottom three, but [...]
Did Lambert’s ‘Mad World’ Deserve Standing O?
The American Idol theme last night was “Songs from the Year You Were Born” and we can think of about ten thousand songs we would have preferred to hear instead of the dreck that was sung last night. We were surprised by how much we liked hearing Allison Iraheta‘s version of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t [...]
Idol Recap: Hair More Entertaining Than The Music
Last night on American Idol, it was more about the hair than the music. Because if nothing else, the hair was more entertaining. It’s getting pretty easy to start weeding contestants out (we’re going to make a prediction that the final four will be Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen), because basically [...]
Osbournes Reloaded Is Too Raunchy For Panama City, FL
Osbournes Reloaded comes to us courtesy of Fox, the network who brought us The Moment of Truth, Hell’s Kitchen, and Family Guy. The network isn’t really known for child-friendly programming, let’s face it, but from the previews we’ve seen, the Osbournes aren’t doing anything all that offensive. Stupid, maybe, but nothing that would make us [...]
