American Idol - Shocking Results Show 05/16/07
|
In past seasons I've said that American Idol has missed the mark with which themes they chose and tonight was not
too different. Since AI is aimed mostly at the youth market, I'm not sure why they think show tunes, even as popular as Andrew Lloyd Weber's would
appeal to youth. Possibly there's the thought of introducing a new generation to these songs but I could do without hearing music from Cats again.
So who do I think will be going home tomorrow? If I had it my way, it would be Jason Castro. I don't think he's a
strong singer and he has yet to show any real personality. Sorry kids, I just don't like him. Realistically, I think Brooke, Syesha and Jason will
be the bottom three with Syesha or Jason going home. I don't think the show would let someone as popular and marketable as Brooke go home just
yet. There's a small chance that I'm wrong and Carly Smithson could go home but I like her so I didn't want to put her in my bottom three.
Former American Idol contestant, Carmen Rasmusen claimed that certain people got preferential
treatment (duh). Let's face it, the show isn't exactly fixed but there are just some that require or request more coaching or help. It was
widely reported that Sanjaya got a lot of time getting his hair done but he personally requested it.
Hmm... Interesting show. Even my 16 year-old guitar student voiced my thoughts, "Dolly Parton? Why
are they having Dolly Parton music?". Most of the songs with the exception of Dolly's hit made more famous by Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love
You", were unknown to most of the audience. Sure there's some people who grew up listening to Dolly's music but I think this was a bad choice.
We're still at the point where anyone could go home but I'm predicting the bottom three will be Jason
Castro for a lackluster performance, Kristy Lee Cook (despite a manipulative song pick) and in her debut in the bottom 3, Brooke White (don't worry
she's safe). My pick to go home will be Jason Castro because of Kristy Lee Cook's ingenious, manipulative pick of "God Bless The USA". You
can't criticize a song that's so pro-America and Simon even acknowleged the smart song pick. It just might save her another week.
Brooke White:
Brooke has a great personality and good image. She isn't the best singer but she more than makes up for it in other areas. She's smart and really knows how to pick the songs that
fit her voice. As of tonight where she performed the Police song "Every Breath You Take", even though she didn't sing the song as good as she
should've, I think her makeover with her hair straightened and better makeup will help in the "progress" portion of my formula.
Carly Smithson: Carly has one of the strongest voices we've
seen this season. She consistently delivers vocally but her image has remained unchanged. If she doesn't show some improvement in her image
or choose different songs, she'll go the way of Amanda Overmeyer who gave the same performance every week. I think Carly has a great chance at winning but in many ways, this is her
competition to lose. She needs to change it up quick by doing a makeover and choosing better songs.
Ramiele Malubay: I think Ramiele is "technically" the best singer of all of the girls. She's cute as a button
too but I think her shy personality makes her come off as a bit too cold and could possibly cost her the spot she deserves in the top 5. I feel bad for her
because she's vocally talented but it doesn't seem like she ever gets a great response from the judges. She'll need to lower her guard and show some
personality in order to keep America voting for her.
Syesha Mercado: Of all of the women, I think Syesha has the best image. She dresses great, looks great and aside from the creepy baby voice she
does, her personality just shines. Syesha also has a very good voice but her performances haven't been consistent. Early on I predected that Syesha
had a great chance to win the show but she's already ended up in the bottom three and the judges don't seem to like her as much as I do.
Chikezie: Chikezie is one of the more likeable guys in the competition. He has a
good attitude and is very personable. His song choices however are a different story. The decision to play the harmonica makes it very difficult for me to want to see him
even in the top 5. Although Chikezie has talent, I just can't picture him ending up in the top 5 unless he totally destroys every song until the end which isn't going to happen.
David Archuleta:
David was the early favorite to win it all but he's faltered quite a bit in the last few weeks. He's just too young to be as mentally strong as he
needed to be but with a few years more of experience he could totally dominate the show. But for now his chances of running away with the show have dropped. He needs to keep growing and
trying different songs and David might just end up in the top 2 but I don't think he can afford to have any more bad weeks.
David Cook: I'm actually not a fan of David Cook. I think he looks like he's
trying too hard to be a rocker. Wearing the rocker clothes, messing up his hair with what looks like a comb over and having a strategically placed soul patch. Ugh. Also, he
shouldn't play guitar at all when the show already has Paul Jackson Jr., a fantastic player. The first time Cook played guitar I wasn't looking at the
screen and I thought Paul didn't tune his guitar and he just played some bad notes but it was Cook. His voice on the other hand is his saving grace. He
can sing but not near as good as Chris Daughtry. Even though I don't like him, I'll give him a fair chance at the top 3.
Michael Johns: Michael is my favorite of the guys. He has a strong voice and a great personality. His
weakness is that his performances haven't been consistent. In order to get a top 3 spot he'll have to pick really, really great songs. I also think he's one
of the few singers who can afford to sing and act with more confidence. He'll definitely make it to the top 5 but we'll have to see how much the others progress too.
Even though American Idol 2007 had a nice, sweet ending it had a feel that it was also very controlled. If
you're going to have a reality TV show, you have to really let it be reality. I don't for a second believe that Sanjaya Malakar went from being the
top vote getter to getting voted off the very next week. It was obviously planned by FOX to get rid of him before the big charity event since sponsors
were giving according to the number of votes. They didn't want Sanjaya's votes to affect their sponsors in a negative way and I can just picture
their sponsors seeing the show being turned into a joke and saying they might pull out if it went that way.
Going back to the whole Sanjaya thing, this is exactly what killed the UK version of Idol. Fans
started to vote on things other than voice and skill and instead of letting it make interesting TV, they stopped the show and started the X-Factor which allowed the
judges to pick. I think reality TV starts to suck when the producers try to steer the outcome of a show like this year's American Idol. I can
understand that they don't want their shows to become a mockery but you can't fool the audience for long. After a while, the show will become
overly predictable and plain and viewers will drop off. There were drops in viewers after Sanjaya and Melinda were off the show. You see, people
aren't idiots, they can smell something fishy but they're just not as suspicious as I am. Yet.
It was one of those honest, sweet moments in television when Jordin Sparks was announced as the new American Idol. Even though I'm sure she knew
she'd win, you can never be 100% sure so when Ryan said her name, all the emotion she was holding back came out. Jordin is a beautiful and
talented girl and I'm sure she'll do well. I wish her the best in her career! 
It seems that all signs are pointing to Jordin Sparks as being the winner of American Idol 2007. She has the look, youth and singing style
that make her the best contestant on paper but clearly Blake Lewis' confidence and performance ability are at a much higher level. If Blake wins, it would
definitely be considered an upset at this point.
American Idol judge, Paula Abdul got off-balance while her pet chihuahua was at her feet and in the act of
avoiding stepping on her pet, Abdul fell and broke her nose. She also broke a toe and get pretty bruised up. I've seen pictures of her and she
looked OK, although she admitted that makeup was covering up some nasty bruising on her face. Anyone who has had a broken nose or any facial
trauma will know that sometimes bruising and swelling doesn't happen until the next day so we'll be looking closely at Paula's face tonight! 
Well we're already at the week of the American Idol Finale. What's in store for the two finalists, Jordin Sparks (who will
probably win) and Blake Lewis? To the left is a picture of Jordin Sparks as a young girl. 
By the look on everyone's face last night, Melinda Doolittle getting voted off of
American Idol came as a shock to all, including Simon, Melinda and Blake. That means that the final two will be Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks.
Is it just me or does this season now seem like a slam-dunk for Jordin? She has
the looks, youth and voice that she seems like the perfect person to be the American Idol. Blake, while talented might not appeal to as many people
as Jordin. I guess my pick will still be Jordin but I can guarantee that more people will be looking forward to seeing what Blake will do with a solo career.|

American Idol - Who's Going Home Tonight 07/16/07
The people over at American Idol really are setting Melinda up to be the winner. They placed her in the last spot,
gave her good songs to sing and praised her heavily while criticizing Blake and Jordin even after they gave good performances. Needless to say,
the oddsmakers are heavily favoring Melinda. Right now, Blake might be in the bottom but not by much. Who does American Idol want to win? It
looks like Melinda but I think that Jordin Sparks could make more money than Melinda because she's young, pretty and has a great voice. Blake
probably would have a better solo career if he didn't win. He could pull a Chris Daughtry and release an album without the pressure of being the
AI winner. Look for Blake to go home tonight. Click here to comment.
This Week's American Idol News - 05/15/07
This week the final three American Idol contestants, Blake Lewis, Melinda Doolittle and Jordin Sparks will perform 3 songs each! No word on what styles they'll be singing. Tomorrow's show will feature performances by Elliott Yamin and Maroon 5. Click on the article title to comment.
Here's some random American Idol News
- After getting nothing but negative reviews over his darker hair, Blake might go back to blonde.
- Tamyra Gray will join the cast of Rent. Too bad her solo career never took off since she's one of the best to ever compete on the show.
- Taylor Hicks' career is dying as quick as it started.
- The Howard Stern show is claiming that American Idol staff knew LaKisha was going to lose at the start of the week and even booked tickets for her to go home before the performance show aired. They claim that someone inside the organization says that the show is rigged.
- LaKisha is in love with Ryan Seacrest. She's not only delusional but probably barking up the wrong tree.
- Chris Richardson might be dating Alaina Alexander as they've been spotted out together. Nice one Chris!
- According to People, William Hung claims that he's earned over $1 million since his appearance on Idol.
American Idol - Who's Going Home Tonight 05/09/07
Is there anyone who doesn't think that it's finally LaKisha Jones' turn to go home? She's
proven herself to be one-dimensional even though that single dimension sounds pretty fantastic. I think very few of this
year's contestants have shown any versatility at all. Anyway, everyone including me is expecting that it's LaKisha's last week.
See ya, LaKisha.
WagerWeb.com Predicts Jordin Sparks Will Win American Idol
There are a lot of people out there who are predicting that Melinda Doolittle will win American Idol but who
better to listen to than the people who are actually in in the betting business like WagerWeb? They're
predicting that Jordin Sparks will win. After last night's performance, I totally agree. She's not only doing everything that the other contestants are
doing but she's also spending hours every day doing schoolwork! Heck, if I were here parents, I might just give her a pass on school until the show
ends. If you think you know the winner, are you willing to put money on it?
From WagerWeb: Blake Lewis, the 25-year-old from Bothell, Washington, blasted out a surprisingly good rendition of the Bon Jovi standard "You Give Love a Bad Name". As the last man standing (literally) in this competition, Lewis could ride a vote all the way to the final two, or end up getting squashed next week if he delivers a lackluster performance. Lewis is a tough call at +400.
Then there's Lakisha Jones. The 27-year-old from Fort Meade, Maryland, may have the best singing voice left in this competition.
Despite the great vocals don't be surprised if Lakisha is handed her walking papers next week even though the theme (Boogie/Dance/Disco) should play to her strength. The best singer hardly ever wins this popularity contest. Lakisha is our long shot at +1200.
Last is Melinda Doolittle, and at 29 years of age she is the oldest contestant remaining. No matter how many complements Doolittle gets from the judges, she still sports extreme humility (some are calling it an act) that would make a Saint proud. Playing the humility card hasn't hurt Doolittle at all and she's actually one of the favorites. An Internet poll asking who people believe will win out of the Final Four has Doolittle leading with a whopping 56% of the votes. We'll keep Melinda in second for now, at +125.

American Idol - Who's Going Home Tonight 05/02/07
It was a surprising night because it showed that none of the singers could do a convincing rock vocal. The only way they could tackle the songs last night was for each to change the song to their style. While this doesn't exactly show much versatility, certain singers like Blake Lewis took chances and really stood out
Now, who is going home? I predict LaKisha Jones. Her and Chris Richardson will definitely be in the bottom two but combined with last week's bottom two of Jordin Sparks and Phil Stacey, I'm not sure how the votes will fall. We'll see. I predict LaKisha, Phil and Chris to be in danger of going home with the probability going toward LaKisha.
This week's American Idol news:
- Sanjaya Malakar's mom has been busted in the past for possession of 310 marajuana plants!
- Sanjaya's sister, Shyamali probably had knowledge of the plants and probably indulged.
- Gina Glocksen wants her buddy, Chris Richardson to win.
- Pink and Gwen Stefani were cut from the Idol Gives Back show due to time, not to crappy performances.
American Idol - Who's Going Home Tonight 04/25/07
I think that LaKisha has looked exhausted the last two shows and I believe her votes have really gone down. I think she might be the one going home tonight but it also might be Chris Richardson.
Tonight on American Idol...
Well, if you believe TMZ.com, Elvis will make a return from the dead to do a duet with Celine Dion . Whoopeee. The good news is that American Idol uses its power for good with a two part "Idol Gives Back" Theme.
Here's some short rumors from the past week:
- Katherine McPhee voted for Sanjaya.
- Paula isn't concerned about Sanjaya going home.
- A delusional Sanjaya was on the Ellen show saying that Vote for the Worst and Howard Stern didn't have any affect on the votes.
- Phil Stacey is the new Vote for the Worst poster boy.

Video: Sanjaya Malakar's First Post-American Idol Interview

In this interview, Sanjaya talks about his aspirations as a hairdresser, model, singer and Broadway star. Before you're too rough on this kid's delusions, just remember that he's only 17 and remember how dopey you were at that age (assuming you're older).
Dial Idol Predicts Sanjaya Will Go Home Tonight!
Could this actually be Sanjaya's last night on American Idol? Simon Cowell really seemed to take off the
gloves and let Sanjaya and America have it, saying that this whole "vote for Sanjaya" thing was fun but now we have to get
back to what American Idol really is, a singing competition.
According to DialIdol.com, Sanjaya got the lowest amount of votes last night. If they're correct, and they claim to have an 87% accuracy rate for last season, he could be gone tonight!
Dial Idol measures the amount of busy signals to determine how many votes all of the contestants are getting. Assuming that their calculations are correct, it proves that the votes are directly affected by the previous night's performance. Phil Stacey, who has been consistently in the bottom 3 got the most amount of votes. Pretty interesting. If they're right, Dial Idol will instantly gain a lot of credibility.
Thoughts On Last Night's American Idol - 04/17/07
It was an odd night for American Idol. A lot of the
singers seemed off, possibly the only one that had an excuse was Chris Richardson who claimed to have friends
who went to Virginia Tech. First off, let me address the controversial Simon Cowell snub to Chris. This morning Ryan Seacrest and Simon
were talking about the incident that looked like Simon rolled his eyes when Chris mentioned the Virginia Tech shooting but Ryan went on to say
that the way the stage is set, most of the time they can't even hear each other. In fact, many times the
contestants can't always hear the criticism from the judges. Simon facial expressions were just him
replying to Chris' lame comment, "I was trying to sing nasal", not his VT comment. And that "nasal"
comment was stupid. That's like trying to say singing out of key is a style.
Anyway, the real big news is that Nigel Lithgow,
the producer of American Idol already knows who's getting kicked off tonight and he said that we
might be surprised. Could it finally be Sanjaya's night to go home or is LaKisha Jones going home?
LaKisha had a bad night. She looked tired and uninspired. Usually, one bad performance wouldn't send her home but this season, no one is safe!
Could it finally be Sanjaya's night to go home or is LaKisha Jones going home?
My prediction for who is going home tonight is 
either LaKisha or Chris Richardson. My pick for the best of the night and the one who
should win remains Jordin Sparks. Jordin was so popular last night that even the dress she wore, a Nicole Miller dress, sold out
at Saks Fifth Avenue. Click here to check out the dress online.

Ex-American Idol Contestant, Paris Bennett Votes For Sanjaya
Do you remember Paris Bennett from last season's American Idol? Well if you
do, you might be amused to hear that she's backing Sanjaya and she actually voted for him!
"We want to see him [Sanjaya] win because it'll kind of prove that 'American Idol' is kind of losing its taste," says Bennett, "it kinda isn't going for talent anymore and more for popularity."
In a recent interview at TMZ, she claimed that she enjoys that so many people like Vote for the Worst are making fun of American Idol because they're not picking the best singers. Strange that she just noticed this. After the first season, the show has just been a big popularity contest and fallen into the routine "reality TV" formula. In the interview she sounded a little bitter and also didn't really appreciate the publicity the show gave her.
I hate when the ex-Idol contestants get so full of themselves and act as if they would've become famous without the show. If it weren't for American Idol, I doubt any of these contestants would've made it. Geez, it's ok to not like the experience but they should give credit where credit is due!

Will Sanjaya Go Home Tonight?
I'm predicting that Sanjaya
might actually land in the bottom 3 tonight. Why? Because his look last night was a little
more mature with the facial hair and toned down attitude. I think it was the wild hair and the
youthfulness that got him the votes from all of the young kids. Sure, all of the Vote For The Worst
and Howard Stern fans will flood the lines but I think it's the young girl vote that keeps him on top.
Of course, not being a young girl myself, I could be totally wrong. We'll see.
One thing's for sure, Simon Cowell will not quit if Sanjaya wins as earlier reported. Why? Because
he has a contract and when interviewed, talked about the contract and said that any rumors of him leaving were nonsense.

Who Will Go Home On Tonight's American Idol - 04/04/2007
If you're the type to believe that Simon Cowell has power to send contestants
home by what he says, Phil Stacey Gina Glocksen will be going home tonight. Phil was definitely the most criticized singer of last
night and he's been in the bottom three several times.
Sanjaya seems to be completely bulletproof when it comes to the judges' comments. Even when they've criticized him, people feel sorry for him and vote more. Couple this with VoteForTheWorst .com and Howard Stern'sfans voting for Sanjaya, he should be safe for quite a while.
The only thing that oculd derail Sanjaya Malakar's Idol reign is that he's starting to get a little cocky. Too cocky and the fickle crowd will turn on him. Tune in tonight to see who really goes home.
Tony Bennett Will Be On American Idol Tonight
Wow, American Idol really has its finger on the pulse of today's
young American. They're going to have the AI kids sing Tony Bennett songs. The 80 year old Bennett is as
relevant to today's music as... well, Tony Bennett. Don't get me wrong, Tony is an awesome performer and a
legend but none of these kids are going to release a big band, oldies, jazz or standardards CD. At least not for 30 or so years.
American Idol really has to embrace the current trends and not rely so much on a back catalog of music that they have an interest in financially. Maybe if the show were more exciting and current, we wouldn't have to sabotage the show with people like Sanjaya.
In the meantime, if you want to hear the old school standards done right, stick with Tony Bennett's older material.

Also, at the end of the last show, he threw down his microphone. Why? On Ryan Seacrest's radio show he claimed it was a joke that they all thought the funny way to go out would be to spike the mic and let it feed back as you walk off. Unfortunately, most weren't in on this "joke" and thought it was a sign of disrespect.
After Idol, Chris will go home and spend time with his wife until he returns for the finale and the tour. If you're interested in hearing more from this talented singer, check out his band, Half Past Forever.

What's Up With Sanjaya's Hair?
I'm almost at a
loss of words about Sanjaya Malakar's hair on tonight's American Idol. Clearly he's given up on
working on his singing and now just focuses on his image. Even Simon refused to comment on his performance.
Will Sanjaya
survive another week? I'm not sure but VoteForTheWor st.com and Howard Stern will be pushing
for us to vote for the vocally challenged youth so we can enjoy his shenanigans for another week.
What more could he possibly do with his hair? Hopefully for his last week, he'll go all out and shave his head.
Gwen Stefani to Appear on Tonight's American Idol
Singer Gwen Stefani is set to appear
on American Idol tonight. She'll probably do the usual coaching of the top 10 contestants but I don't really
think she's the best person to be a singing coach for any of them. However, she has great stage presence but I'm not
sure if that's something that can exactly be taught.
I'm also one of the few who preferred her work with No Doubt to the cookie-cutter pop/dance music that she's churning out now. Gwen will mentor the kids tonight (Tuesday) and she'll perform "The Sweet Escape" with Akon on the results show, Wednesday.

The Current American Idol Betting Odds
According to Bodog.com, the bottom 2 for American Idol are Gina Glocksen and Haley Scarnato. The favorites to win are Melinda Dolittle , Jordin Sparks and Lakisha Jones. Of course we all know that this could change with next week's performance show. Also, don't count out the crazy support for Sanjaya Malakar to win.
Who was That Crying Girl On American Idol?
Eat your heart out David Hasslehoff, American Idol has a new
crybaby to talk about. If you watched this week's American Idol, you saw this young 13 year
-old cry her eyes out when her favorite singer, Sanjaya Malakar took the stage but did you know
that her crying on camera was planned by the show?
Sitting in the audience during rehearsals, she was spotted crying by a sharp-eyed American Idol producer and invited back with a seat in the front and directions for cameras to go to her when Sanjaya sang. This turned her into the talk of the show and part of a barb directed at Sanjaya by Simon Cowell.
I sometimes wonder if this was a good thing for this girl.
Won't she be embarrassed that so many people in the media are making fun of her? Won't this come back to haunt
her in later years?
For now, the 13-year-old Ashley Ferl is enjoying appearing on a few radio and TV shows and she's become the star of her Riverside, CA neighborhood. I'm sure that the American Idol producers will bring her back. If not next week, she'll be there for the finale. Why not put her next to David Hasslehoff and right behind Paula. I'm sure her family is shopping around for an agent for Ashley.

Who's The Odds On Favorite to Win American Idol?
According to most of the online betting web sites, Melinda Dolittle is the odds on favorite to win this year's American Idol. I think she seems nice and she has a good voice but I don't think she's the best singer or most interesting personality on the show.
My current favorite to win is Jordin Sparks. I think Jordin has all the tools not only to win but to sell a lot of CDs too.
The great thing about American Idol is that the show could change as time goes by. Certain singers can do better and singers that we thought were great might fumble over styles that aren't familiar to them.
And Tonight's Bottom Three Will Be...
Sanjaya Malakar of course. Phil Stacey and Haley Scarnato or possibly Stephanie Edwards. Who will go home? I hope Sanjaya will be around but I think this might be his last night.
Is Sanjaya Going Home on Tonight's American Idol?
Love him or hate him, Sanjaya Malakar is still on the show but will he go home tonight? Personally I hope so but I do agree with VoteForTheWorst .com and Howard Stern who think that it would be funnier if Sanjaya won.
Some funny things about Sanjaya:
- Simon Cowell claims that he'll quit if Sanjaya wins
- The American Idol hairdresser says that no guy in the history of the show has been this consumed with his hair and said that Sanjaya comes in with a clear idea of what he wants his hair to look like. The hairdresser even said Sanjaya asked for the Farah Fawcett look.
Tune in tonight to see if he's still there.

Thoughts on Last Night American Idol 03/13/07
As much as I think Diana Ross is a legitimate
legend, watching the American Idol contestants cover her songs bored me. In a way, starting with
an R&B day, strongly favors certain contestants and definitely puts others in a style that they're clearly not good at.
A few contestants stood out but some like Sanjaya were terrible. Sporting what looked like a perm,
Sanjaya limped through yet another performance and got the most bashing from the judges. I
wonder if there are still enough young girls out there that will keep him on the show.
Haley Scarnato gave a decent performance
showing vulnerability and a good amount of cleavage might win some people over. After being
destroyed by Paula and Randy, Simon actually complimented her. Her insecurity might make her get voted off.
Gina Glocksen, Phil Stacey might also be at risk for going home but it's time for Sanjaya to take
that plane trip back to Washington.

American Idol - Who's Going Home Tonight?
Quite simple: for the guys, Sanjaya will go home. He's a nice kid but a disappoinment as far as his singing. Also Phil Stacey will go home. Not for lack of talent, he just doesn't stand out like the rest of the guys.
For the women, we'll finally see Antonella Barba go home. Pictures or no pictures, she would go home since her voice just can't compare with the rest. And it's a tossup whether Haley Scarnato or Gina Glocksen will go. Why? Because I had to look up their names. Nice girls with talent but on American Idol, you have to really make people remember you.

Will Courtney Love Replace Paula Abdul on American Idol?
There are a lot of rumors
going on about American Idol considering replacing Paula Abdul with Courtney Love. Will it
happen? Absolutely not. Despite Paula's bizarre
behavior, she brings a lot of publicity to the show. If Idol were ashamed of
Paula, they'd replace her with a more normal host not someone with a history of drug use and general mayhem like Courtney Love.
Don't get me wrong, I've known about Love a long time before she was famous and she would be awesome on the show. Sure, she's a wild card but she has an energy and honesty that would be fun to watch.

True to form,
Taylor Hicks' first words after being named 2006's American Idol were, "soul patrol, soul
patrol". Perhaps not the most humble or thankful acceptance speech but why change now?
It looks like the soul patrol really came through for Taylor Hicks. This came as a surprise to no one since Simon pretty much named him the American Idol on Tuesday's show.
It's really hard to predict what Taylor's original music will sound like since AI will control his CD completely. It'll take until he goes to another label before he'll enjoy the creative freedom to take the helm of his own career.
I give a lot of credit to American Idol for putting on the best American Idol finale ever! The last two years, I thought were dull. Last night's finale was absolutely killer, especially with the appearance by Prince. I predicted an appearance a long time ago but I didn't expect it in the finale.
Some interesting American Idol Finale facts:
- The card that Ryan read to announce the winner was blank after the year when Clay Aiken peeked at it. He was fed the winner through an earpiece.
- Did you notice David "Knight Rider/Baywatch" Hasslehoff crying when Taylor won?
- Katherine McPhee's family blew kisses to her as Taylor sang the song after winning.
- Katherine McPhee has a boyfriend.
- Chris Daughtry and Ace Young are still friends.
- The 2003 American Idol finale is the only one with better ratings.
- More Idol facts soon...
Don't forget to tune into the
American Idol 2006 finale tonight! Remember that it's 2 hours long and starts at
8:00pm! They're planning a bunch of guests and surprises so it'll definitely be worth watching.
OK, so you know who's probably going to win. Simon pretty much gave the win to Taylor last night and also brought up that Taylor Hicks got the royal treatment in his hometown while Katherine got a reception in a high school gym. But as we've learned from Chris Daughtry, anything can happen.
In a funny note, someone reported on the news that former American Idol contestant Corey Clark was spotted outside selling his CD in front of a local Coffee Bean. If you don't remember, he was the one who claimed to have an affair with Paula Abdul.
Who Will Win American Idol 2006?
Last night was
full of good performances. I thought Katherine McPhee did a great job with all of her songs but for some
reason the judges have been hard on her the whole season. I don't think she lived up to her potential
and I think she can get better. Taylor Hicks on the other hand has been the darling of this year's
American Idol competition. He was definitely going for it on every performance.
I really wanted to like Taylor but I was getting so annoyed with him yelling "soul patrol, soul patrol"
after every song. He did such a great job on his last song but instead of letting the moment set in
and sealing his victory, we heard "soul patrol, soul patrol, soul patrol.. Whooooo". I think he really
ruined what could've been his best moment in the show. It's because of this that I really hope
Katherine McPhee wins. I know that's a lame reason for wanting anyone to win but hey, that's just how I feel.
I miss Chris Daughtry.
Update: I forgot to add that I thought Daniel Powter did a killer version of his song "Bad Day". As much
as I grew to hate that song because they were overplaying it, I enjoyed watching him play and sing and show an
example of star quality without mugging for the camera. Click on the iTunes link to check out his single Bad Day.
American Idol Releases Season 5 Encores CD
Just in time for the American Idol, Season 5
finale comes a CD of the top 12 contestants. Nothing to really get too excited about here, just cover versions of the
songs that they performed on the show. I'd rather hear the live versions direct from the show. One
thing that the TV show Rock Star: INXS did well was offer iTunes downloads of the contestant's live
performances the day after the show.
Here's the track listings for the American Idol Season 5 Encores CD:
1. What About Love - Melissa McGhee
2. Superstition - Bucky Covington
3. Every Woman - Mandisa
4. Wanted Dead Or Alive - Chris Daughtry
5. Father Figure - Ace Young
6. Takin’ It To The Street - Taylor Hicks
7. Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Lisa Tucker
8. Walkin’ After Midnight - Kellie Pickler

This Tuesday's American Idol - The Final 2 Perform
American Idol has been working on keeping their
final two shows a secret. There have been rumors of Katherine McPhee performing a duet
with Meatloaf but that let's hope that there are better surprises than that in store for us.
I did my best to get my inside contact to leak some information but he (or she) said that they weren't allowed to leak anything specific for the finale. I guess we'll just have to tune in tonight to see.
Former American Idol Contestant Brenna Gethers Speaks Her Mind
Do you remember Brenna Gethers? She was the spunky American Idol
contestant who went out of her way to put on a show for the AI fans. She was voted off early but she was
probably one of the most memorable contestants American Idol has ever had. Brenna knew about
reality TV and played up her personality for all that was worth. Unfortunately, that might have turned
off some viewers who wanted more singing and less attitude.
In a recent interview with Vote For The Worst, she claims American Idol held her back because she's eclipse the other contestants and that the contract she signed has prevented her taking advantage of some possible job opportunities. She also discussed her feud with Paris Bennett.
Teri Hatcher and Ryan Seacrest Feuding?
According to US Weekly, Teri Hatcher and American Idol's Ryan Seacrest are still at odds after he
supposedly dumped her on the phone on March 25. They're reporting that they haven't talked since and there might be
some weirdness between them when Teri will attend the American Idol finals this week.
Don't worry Teri, I don't think Ryan will stop and interview you although it would rock if they placed her on the aisle or behind Simon because you know Simon would have fun bringing her in just to torture Seacrest.

Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks Speak Up
American Idol finalists Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks gave a great interview to USA
Today. I'll quickly give you the best parts of the interview.
Is Katherine too confident?
"I think that's ridiculous to say — too confident? People don't realize that what they see on TV is all they see. I have never once gone, 'Oh, I'm going to win this thing.' I think the fact that I have not is why I'm still here. I think the people who get too confident, their fans don't vote as much… The judges have been really hard on me the last couple of weeks. ... It's anybody's game and I've always thought that from the beginning."
Was she act too happy when Elliott was sent home?
"I didn't hear about that. But I figured that might be the case. It's an awkward thing. You're excited and in the top two, but someone's going home… It's a ridiculous notion to me that you can't be excited to be in the top two…I made it through! And it was such a close margin. And I apologize for looking happy, I guess."
How does Katherine stay in shape? How does she stay in shape?
While her favorite past time is dance class, she says, "I haven't worked out in four months. I feel like I'm a big blob. I don't have any muscle in my body. I've definitely not been dieting. I'm an anti-dieter. I don't think it works. I've totally struggled with body weight. I was up and down with my weight. I'd get good feedback from bookers — we'd love to book her, but… it's a shame you have to be so skinny and so in shape. I met a dietitian before American Idol and she just taught me to eat normally and have peace with food. Now I just don't have any kind of emotional eating anymore. I still have weight on me. I'm still not what Hollywood wants — stick skinny. But I'm happy with food and able to eat and that's what women should be able to do — eat food and I don't think twice about it. After American Idol, I'd love to have a trainer who gets me to the gym two or three times a week because I surely don't do it on my own."
Was Taylor Hicks' Harmonica taken from him?
"It's a singing competition. That's what I was told. It's a singing compeition. … I love to play guitar and harmonica. I'm going to aactually be able to play some guitar and harmonica when the contest is over. There might be a harmonica solo or two in the finale."
What his dad said to him when he told him he was trying out for American Idol.
"When I told my dad I'm trying out for American Idol, he said, 'Why don't you just go buy a lottery ticket?'"
What is the soul patrol?
"I just believe in the soul of music. It could be rap,
hip hop, it could be anything. As long as it can translate a feeling — that's kind of where I come
from in music. The Soul Patrol has got so many different meanings and yet it's just an idea of having more soul and depth."
It's also the name of his fans."They're a great bunch of fans. It just kind of fit from the beginning. There
are so many things I'm looking forward to doing post-American Idol tour. I've got some really cool
ideas for the Soul Patrol and the theme of Soul Patrol when I tour."

Former American Idol Contestants Perform At Radio Station Concert
At a recent concert for radio station Kiss 108
in Boston, three former American Idol contestants performed. Bo Bice, Mario Vazquez and Ayla Brown (pictured here)
rocked the first half of the concert with Bice playing some songs from his new CD. I hope Ayla Brown can work
out something with her career because I liked her. She had a sweet personality and a lot of potential.
I wish she had stayed on American Idol just a few more weeks to give her a chance to grow.
From the Boston Herald: The first half of the KISS show was dominated by former "American Idol" hopefuls Mario Vazquez, Bo Bice and Wrentham homegirl Ayla Brown. Last year's "Idol" runner-up Bice gave the most assured performance of the three, strapping on a guitar and belting out tunes from his record, including "The Real Thing." The long-coiffed rocker got his freak on at the end of his set with a Lynyrd Skynyrd double shot of "Sweeet Home Alabama" and a jam-happy "Freebird."

Elliott Yamin Reflects On American Idol
Even in defeat, Elliott Yamin is a humble guy. In
a recent interview with USA Today, he admitted that he knew he would be the next to leave American Idol and he was flattered
that the voting was so close.
Yamin talked about rumors of him being engaged to his girlfriend, Amanda. He denies that they're engaged but is looking forward to spending time with her again.
The best part of the interview had to be his comments about the American Idol top two, Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee.
"Taylor's a really high strung dude. He's got a lot of energy and passion. He doesn't seem too relaxed when he performs. He's a great entertainer and he's doing what he's done his whole life."
And, he says, "I'm really close with Taylor. That's my dawg, man. We're going to be friends for life."
And later, he said, "Taylor, that's my home boy, man. We've gotten quite close and we've built a relationship that's going to last forever. We've got a great fraternity here of guys and girls and we're all going to be bonded that way for the rest of our lives. Taylor's one of the funniest people I've ever met on this entire planet. He definitely knows how to keep things fun."
On Kat McPhee: "She's definitely very mechanical, you know what I mean? And that's a good thing. I've taken something way from that, too. She has a godly gift and she's got a beautiful voice and she's going to go so far. She already has. All of us are going to be successful and it's going to be awesome to watch us all grow."
I'm not sure if those comments were exactly flattering but they're definitely honest. He ended the article by saying that he had been indirectly approached about possible singing opportunities but he's not talking much about those yet.

American Idol Rumor - Katherine McPhee Has Duet With Meatloaf?
According to Us Weekly, Katherine McPhee and
Taylor Hicks will sing duets on the season finale. Katherine is set to do a duet with Meatloaf
but no word yet on who will sing with Taylor.
From Us Weekly:Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks will sing duets as part of the season finale of American Idol on May 24. McPhee is being paired up with the singer Meatloaf. He will reportedly release a new Bat Out of Hell cd by the end of the year, and is considering asking McPhee to sing on it.

America Says Goodbye to Elliott Yamin
Last night came
the decision that we all were expecting, that American Idol would not have Elliott Yamin in its top 2. Elliott was
clearly the heart of this season. There's just nothing that you can say bad about this guy. He's
probably the nicest guy ever on American Idol and I hope he has great success in music.
You could definitely see how much he was loved by the reaction from the Katherine McPhee, Taylor Hicks and the American Idol judges. They had so much love for Elliott and you know that they couldn't fake that much affection.
Good luck Elliott, we'll see you on the American Idol tour and hopefully someday on your own tour!
American Idol Predictions - Who's Going Home Tonight? 05/17/06
Elliott Yamin has definitely
proven that he deserves to be up on stage in the American Idol finals but will he make it to the final
2? Most of the people on the internet are predicting this is his last night. I hate to say it but I agree. We
can only hope that he'll get some of the votes that went to Chris Daughtry.
Elliott just seems like such a good person with a great heart. I think of anyone in this season's competition, Elliott has really shown the most personality and growth. If he goes home tonight, that'll definitely be sad but if by some chance he makes it to the final 2, I'm going to be voting for him to win. Good luck Elliott!
Simon Cowell Picks Taylor Hicks To Win American Idol
In recent interviews, American Idol judge has
weighed in with the opinion that Taylor Hicks is the top contestant and will probably win. He also thinks
that Elliott Yamin is one of the nicest contestants to ever be on American Idol and praised his voice highly.
Simon is predicting that the top two will be Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee.
Quote of the Day - Simon Cowell vs Ryan Seacrest
On Monday, American Idol judge, Simon Cowell was on
the Tonight Show.
Jay LenoNow Ace, he was here. Playgirl offered him like $100,000 to pose nude...
Simon CowellRyan offered him $200,000 (laughs)
Simon went on to say that there was nothing in the contract to prevent contestants from posing nude but that most were too ugly anyway. He said that no one would pay to see the kid with glasses (Kevin Covais) in Playgirl.
Will There Be An American Idol All-Star Show?
When so many other reality shows doing all-star shows like Survivor just did, how would an American Idol all-star show do? I've heard people argue that the first season had the best talent but I think that this season has been great. An all-star show would settle that argument once and for all! Of course we couldn't expect the winners or some of the more successful contestants to return but there are plenty of others who would be more than willing to do what they needed to in order to get another 15 minutes of fame.
There have been rumors floating around on the internet and I think that they should do it! It couldn't lose! This along with syndicated reruns of the earlier seasons would insure that American Idol will be remembered for decades!
Chris Daughtry To Appear On Ellen This Tuesday
American Idol
finalist, Chris Daughtry is going to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show tomorrow. It looks like he'll perform
and even get a bit of an interview.
I wonder what song he'll perform? Today, he performed a Bon Jovi song, "Wanted Dead or Alive" on Live with Regis & Kelly. It was pretty cool since he played it alone on solo guitar. It sure beats when past idols have appeared on the show singing to a solo piano!

This Week's American Idol - 05/14/06
What a week last week was... There have
been a lot of rumors about Chris Daughtry leaving the show including people blaming the phone numbers
and even blaming Ryan Seacrest but none of them are true. People just didn't vote for him.
This week should be a great music week since the final three, Elliott Yamin, Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee (in no particular order) will get to sing a song of their choice, one picked by the judges and one picked by Clive Davis. This should be an especially challenging week for them but I have no doubt that all three will shine.
Paula Abdul Wants Elliott Yamin To Win American Idol
In a recent interview with Teen People,
Paula admitted that she wants Elliott to win. And in typical Paula fashion, she takes credit for his success. "I feel like I
changed the face of the competition by making America wake up and see the talent that Elliott
possesses," said Abdul. Wow. America was blind to Elliott's talent until Paula woke us up. Thanks Paula.
She also admitted to being surprised that Chris Daughtry was voted off but she thinks that he has a bright future. She made sure to say a few token nice words about the other contestants. I'd like to hear what they have to say about her thinking Elliott is better than them. Nothing like an impartial judge.

Rumor - American Idol Finalist Chris Daughtry Offered Job As Lead Singer For Fuel
I think American Idol
finalist, Chris Daughtry has proven that he has the most chance at commercial success out of
any contestant in the past few seasons. When I heard him sing, I was so happy to have someone
to represent rock this season. He was modest and just had a great attitude that you couldn't help but want him to succeed.
It's clear that Chris Daughtry will have a great career in music but what will he do? I think he should be a solo artist but there have been a lot of rumors that he's been offered the job as the lead singer for the band Fuel.
From MSN News: The buzz around Daughtry for weeks has been that he could end up as lead singer with the band Fuel. He performed the band's song "Hemorrhage" on a recent "Idol" show, and the Web site for the TV show "Extra" said its show Thursday night will have a famous band offering Daughtry a job.
The best thing Chris can do is to hook up with a great rock producer and do a solo CD. If he were to join Fuel or any other band, he steps into someone else's shoes and will be compared to the original. He already has to shake off the American Idol stigma that will follow him for the rest of his life, he doesn't need to be compared to another singer on top of that. I'm looking forward to Chris' CD more than I've ever looked forward to a CD from an American Idol performer. I'd wish Chris Daughtry luck but he clearly doesn't need it!
Last Night's American Idol Results Show - Spoiler Alert!
If you haven't watched last night's show, stop reading right now!
This was the
biggest surprise on American Idol since Tamyra Gray was voted off in season one. Everyone was
surprised and disappointed that Chris Daughtry was sent home last night. Simon looked
disappointed, Paula cried (no surprise) and Katherine was obviously surprised because
everyone including her thought it was going to be her last night.
So what happened? Did everyone listen to the hype that Chris Daughtry was the American Idol frontrunner, so all the Chris fans didn't feel like they had to vote? It must be. Everyone including myself and the Vegas oddsmakers had Chris as a lock for the winner but it wasn't to be. The "Who will win American Idol?" poll on my web site had Chris with twice as many votes as second place Katherine McPhee.
So the question is, "is it better for Chris Daughtry's career if he doesn't win American Idol?". For a rock singer, I think the stigma of becoming the AI winner could harm you since most rockers don't want to even admit they watch the show much less buy a CD from the winner. One thing's for sure, there will be a bidding war for Chris Daughtry that will eclipse the eventual winner of the show. The long-range promise of Daughtry far outweighs the other competitors and I'm sure he'll do fine but the show will be a bit dull without him. I wonder if ratings will suffer?
American Idol Predictions - Who's Going Home Tonight? 05/10/06
Elliot Yamin gave a great
performance on last night's American Idol and I agree with Simon when he said that Elliot deserved to stay
for another week. Will he stay? Probably not. The way the voting has been going, he's been getting the
fewest votes every week so he'll most likely be the one going home tonight.
Katherine McPhee had a bad night and she might join him in the bottom two. I suppose there's a slight chance she might get the fewest votes but I wouldn't count on it.
I think last night's show was my least favorite. Not that I'm not an Elvis fan, it's just that I'm interested in the American Idol contestants doing something original instead of promoting Elvis' music. I really think the last test the AI contestants should be given is to write an original song. Otherwise this just becomes the world's biggest karaoke competition.
Tim McGraw Picks Taylor Hicks to Win American Idol
Country singer, Tim McGraw has become a fan of
American Idol and his favorite singer this year is Taylor Hicks. I think the coolest thing McGraw said is that if he
had tried out for American Idol, he wouldn't have gotten through the audition phase. I disagree with that because Tim
McGraw has a sincere way about him that I'm sure would've won over the judges.
From TMZ:Asked during a recent interview if he watched the popular Fox talent competition,
McGraw said, "I do. The kids love it." McGraw and his wife, fellow Grammy winner Faith Hill, have three daughters.
"I would have never gotten past the audition stage," the 39-year-old country star said,
referring to the elimination rounds during the talent search for the show.
He has a favorite this season, too. "I like the
gray-haired guy. Taylor Hicks. I think he's real," McGraw said.

American Idol Champ, Carrie Underwood Graduates
Last year's American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood set
a great example for today's youth by going back and finishing her college degree. She definitely didn't
need to finish her degree but according to People, she vowed to go back and finish and she did by
graduating magna cum laude. This is the kind of thing that I think shows true class and a great heart
. I think being an American Idol is more than just being able to sing, it's also about setting an good
example for young people. Congratulations, Carrie!

Kellie Pickler Reunited With Father
Kellie Pickler's father was recently released from prison and now
they've been reunited. Her dad is a guy who she hasn't seen in years and now he wants to
have a relationship with her. Convenient that she's famous now and has money. This is where I have
to restate that I hope Kellie has some people to help her with her finances. She's too young and too
naive to handle her own career so let's hope that American Idol will hook her up with a manager she
can trust so that no one can get to her money but her.

This Week's American Idol - 05/08/06
Well, this week it's down to just four contestants on American
Idol and in standard American Idol "missing the mark" fashion, they're doing the songs
of Elvis. What kid under 16 knows Elvis or buys Elvis CDs? If you're going to be musically
antiquated, why not some other artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, The Beach Boys? Sigh...
It's not like any of these four are going to win American Idol and go on to release a cover CD of
Elvis, Kenny Rogers, Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart songs. Why not have them perform
current music? Anyway, the good news is that legendary producer Tommy Mottola will be
critiquing their performances. He's no joke and he'll be brutally honest.
American Idol Winner, Fantasia Barrino To Play Herself In A Lifetime Movie
In an acting stretch, Fantasia Barrino will
play herself in an upcoming Lifetime movie about Barrino. I haven't even heard one song from Fantasia's
solo CD. Is anyone out there a fan?
From AOL Television:"American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino will play herself in a Lifetime movie
that will show how the teenage single mother overcame poverty, sexual abuse and illiteracy to win the hit talent show.
The movie, tentatively titled "Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story," will
premiere in August on the women's cable channel. Debbie Allen will direct from an
adaptation of Barrino's autobiography, "Life Is Not a Fairy Tale."
Chris Daughtry's Band - Absent Element
Reader, Izabella let me know about American Idol
contestant, Chris Daughtry's former band Absent Element and their web site. Unfortunately, due to
Chris' American Idol participation, they can't put up any old show pictures of him. The good news
is that you can hear some tracks of Daughtry singing with the band. Chris sounds good in the
tracks and you can definitely hear the talent that got him into the finals of American Idol.

American Idol Says Goodbye To Paris Bennett
This was one American Idol elimination show that didn't surprise anyone, including Paris Bennett. Paris has been getting the least votes and everyone knew it. You could tell that she wasn't surprised when the news was delivered. You have to give this 17 year old girl for being so composed and professional.
There have been rumors about her being contacted by Beyonce's dad, Matthew Knowles. Paris has a great voice and she has a great chance of having a lasting career in music. Good luck, Paris!
American Idol Predictions - Who's Going Home Tonight? 05/03/06
As sweet and adorable as little Paris Bennett seems,
she's consistently the lowest vote getter. It could be her or Elliott this time but I was really
disappointed in Taylor yesterday but he'll be safe.
I think the final two contestants left on American Idol will be Chris Daughtry and Katherine McPhee . Katherine is working really hard every week to close the gap! I think if she could show a bit more personality, she could have a great chance of winning!
