Well this is one time I am very glad to be wrong! A much deserved win for David Cookand a great final show for both the Davids. Congratulations!

Idol Season Seven Final: Will the Sun Go Down on David Cook… (fill in your own punchline here)

Hello Idol Fans! So here we are at the exciting climax of Season Seven. Tonight the contestants will sing three songs: one chosen for them by producer Clive Davis or.. wait is that Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s much too tight face making another Idol appearance? Yes, it is. A second chosen from the top ten [...]

Choice Cuts and Cheap Hot Dogs from Idol’s Final Three

Looking dynamite, Idol’s final three sing three songs tonight; the judge’s choice, the producer’s choice and their own. ROUND ONE… The night kicks off with the judges’ selections… and these should have been up last because they are by far the best of the night. Having imagined the contestants singing these songs as they daydreamed [...]

The Final Four Rock On…More or Less

And then there were four… Rock & Roll Hall of Fame This week’s Idol brings us songs from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. At least that was my understanding of the theme, please correct me if I’m wrong. So for our mutual edification, I looked up the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, [...]

A Lackluster Diamond

Hi Idol Fans! Sorry no recap last week… I was vacationing and trying to avoid computers. This week Idol’s Final Five survivors turn their skills to the work of perennial songwriter Neil Diamond. I am not sure if he was as much a mentor as a gentle goat herder, but most of the fearless fivesome [...]

Season Seven’s Final Seven Snooze thru Mariah Carey Week

You know that when Jason Castro gives the best performance of the night on Mariah Carey week, that something has gone quite awry. Carly was not the only one who missed Michael Johns, but at least he reported that he got a conciliatory phone call from Dolly Parton with a request for a possible future [...]

Season 7′s Shocker: Michael Johns Departs

It seems that every Idol season has it’s Chris Daughtry departure moment. I don’t know who would have seen this coming, but perhaps Michael Johns was a victim of the forgotten middle ground this week. There was certainly a lot of chatter on line about Kristy Lee Cook. Alas, as Michael Johns took center stage [...]

Idol Gives us Something to Mull Over

I had no intentions of recapping the Idol Gives Back Show, but it seems that I can’t keep quiet about this one. Let me start by saying that Carrie Underwood looked and sounded amazing, and that both she and Mariah Carey showed the contestants what it means to be a pro. I am thrilled that [...]

Somewhere Over the Innocent Angels, the Dream Must Go On…Anyway

And then there were eight… This week, in keeping with the Idol Gives Back theme, the final eight bring us songs of inspiration. I expect they are mostly inspired by the elusive approval of the judges right now, but they arrived with more or less solid performances nonetheless. MICHAEL JOHNS opens the show with Aerosmith’s [...]

Dollywood Week… the Final 9 on Idol

GREETINGS IDOL FANS! Oh, how I have missed you (well a bit anyway). Please accept my apologies; no blog last week. I will attempt to be more professional in the future! This week begins this season’s string of Idol guest performers/ mentors with the talented, busty and always charming Dolly Parton. It was fun to [...]
