David Cook said it best last night when he said, "I don't know that America can get this wrong." Be it Adam Lambert or Kris Allen who would be crowned the American Idol of Season 8, the winner would be well-deserving of the title, without a doubt.By now, y'all have probably already read or heard who the winner is, but I guess I'll go and save it for the end of this post and just pretend like I'm

Sauntering down a bigger staircase in front of an audience of 7,000 at the Nokia theater, Ryan Seacrest welcomed us to the battle of the acoustic rocker vs. the glam rocker...Kris Allen vs. Adam Lambert.He introduced the judges, Randy Jackson (sporting at least three different plaids/patterns in his suit, shirt and crazy tie), Kara DioGuardi (looking like she had a little stage fright), Paula

88 Million votes came in for the Top 3 on Tuesday night. Ryan Seacrest told us only 1 million votes separated the Top 2, which evidently isn't much in the grand scheme of 88 million...but remember back when Anoop lost and won with 20-30,000 votes? Anywhooo...After Ben Stiller & Company opened the show pimping their new movie, Ryan Seacrest opened the show for real and we watched Adam Lambert,

Idol had been advertising a 10-song show for AI8's Top 5, but they must have come to realize what we all knew deep down: there was NO way they could fit 10 songs (PLUS judge critiques!) into only one hour. They were probably also scared of a repeat cooky Paula Abdul performance, where she critiqued both of Jason Castro's songs last year after he'd only sung one of them on air.Thankfully, though,

For some alone time, I took SpiderMonkey to see Playhouse Disney LIVE! on stage. We signed up for alerts from Ticketmaster and got to use a code to purchase tickets early, and we had floor seats, Row G, so only like 25-30 feet from the stage. The show was amazing!!! Most of the Playhouse Disney characters were there. We've been to Dora before, and also Bear in the Big Blue House, but this one

I'm not all American Idol all the time, really, I'm NOT! It's just this thing I'm doing to avoid laundry and dishes right now. It's fun, and it takes up two nights a week I could be going to the gym, but can't cuz I'm so busy blogging Idol (not that I make it any of the other five nights...), but my days are filled with raising my five boys, wiping noses, butts, counters, and tears and trying to

The cameras flashed on the somber faces of the Top 10 as Ryan Seacrest asked “What happens when you mix the most talked about singers in the nation with some of the most influential songs in the world?” Maybe it was meant to be a rhetorical question, but if he was asking me (after seeing last night’s performances) …I’d have to answer: “Not that much.”The judges were introduced and made their

Darn that Ryan Seacrest! He got me again. But we’ll get to that in a few…first, last night’s performance recap and reactions…Jesse Langseth ~ “Tell Me Something Good”For a minute there, I forgot this was a “G” rated show! Jesse sexied up the song, and finished strong after a very slow beginning…but the chorus is the best part of that song.Randy: Gave her props for an ‘interesting song choice,

After the last two weeks and 24 singers, I thought I could’ve already chosen my Top 12 for this season…but after last night’s performances, I’m now fearing for some of my favorites! The final dozen from the Top 36 sang their song choices from Billboard’s Hot 100 last night, and some very big voices were revealed.Ryan Seacrest asked Simon Cowell a very good and relevant question…it was that there

Well, there…that was slightly uneventful now wasn’t it?! The second group of Idol contestants made it fairly easy on us all last night. Most of the suspected frontrunners fell flat and the fairly good talent certainly wasn’t mind-blowing, though quite entertaining. There was a definite advantage to being the second group to perform, having watched the hits and misses of the first group…and all

24 MILLION votes cast last night and y’all couldn’t send a few thousand Anoop’s way?! Psssssssssssssh. (Okay, okay, that’s my only whine about last night’s result show, but I’m about to start campaigning for Anoop to be picked in the Wild Card Round. Anoop for Idol!!!

It was a night of high hopes, big dreams, last shots, and poor song choices on American Idol last night. The first dozen of the Top 36 sang, starting off what Idol promised to be the most talent-filled year yet…too bad nobody mentioned to the contestants to bring their “A” games. Weeding out the greats from this group won’t be terribly difficult…of course, that’s taking for granted that America

...and Felicia Barton is in.After last night's episode aired on the west coast, FOX released the Top 36 list of semifinalists, which included Felicia Barton's name, and not Joanna Pacitti's. The press release included a note saying it has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition.Hallelujah! Oh, sorry...did I just type that?! Yup, I did.

We caught a glimpse of the Top 36 last night, now it's on to the Judge's Mansion (new this year) to reveal the Top 36 one contestant at a time. I'd love to hear who your favorite contestants are! I believe it's going to be the guys' year as the judges had predicted early on...the guys definitely seem to have more powerful vocals than the ladies. I like Anoop "Anoopdogg" Desai, a lot.
