American Idol’s Top 10 grooved to 50 years worth of Motown hits with Smokey Robison mentoring tonight’s show.
Matt Giraud started off the night with Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” I loved his falsetto and soulful licks. The judges are now official fans and he joins the front-runner club.

Louisville auditioner Alexis Grace is the latest axed from American Idol. The judges told the pink and blonde haired mom from Memphis that if she impressed while singing her farewell song, they would use their new power to save only one contestant the entire season. She did not perform up to the judges’ standards and [...]
American Idol has gone country, choosing tonight’s songs from the catalogues of the Grand Ole Opry’s members. I have had the honor of singing on the Grand Ole Opry stage several times, a highlight of my career! The Opry has been very good to us Idol alumni. Carrie Underwood was inducted into this excusive club [...]
Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nunez were the first casualties from this year’s American Idol finals. They were sent home after the producers altered the rules, giving the judges an opportunity to save only one contestant this year. Before Top Five week, the judges have one opportunity to unanimously “save” the person voted off resulting [...]
Tonight’s show started with a glimpse of a producers desire to be current. The final group of 12 smiled vigorously as they crooned Katy Perry’s “Hot ‘n Cold”. All this time I thought that it was the group SONG that made these performances so cheesy. You learn something new every day.
It was so clear that [...]

So the first finalists officially named are Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, and Danny Gokey … What do you think? Did they get it right?
I personally felt that Anoop Desai was a little robbed. No, he didn’t give the greatest performance we had seen from him, but we know what he is capable of greatness. But [...]

Overall, I am extremely impressed with this group of talent. There are several exceptional performers in the group. However, is there star quality in any of them? I’d like to hear your input.
I still get nervous every time I hear the American Idol them song. I have nothing but respect for any of these contestants. [...]

We are only one episode away from the live performances. An interesting thing has been added this season. During the chair episodes, they are letting people they are undecided about have a sing-off to earn their spot in the semi-finals. I like this because it is tough to get eliminated once you’ve made it through [...]

I can almost feel the fingers across America stretching for the voting marathon. The first ten minutes of the show has already given the die-hard fans many reasons to debate online on who they believe is the best so far.
Adam Lambert started the day off singing “Believe” by Cher. No- that was not a typo…and [...]

We have finally made it to the end of the audition phase of the competition and I am pumped about Hollywood week! I think there is a nice pool of talent to draw on as we move forward. We end up in New York and Puerto Rico… and I must say we ended on a [...]
