Foxx Helps Idols with Rat Pack

T minus three weeks until the Idol finale and we are now on the hunt for who will go head to head with Adam for the crown.   My pick is still Danny Gokey but Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta gave him a run for his money.  Jamie Foxx surprised the Idols as the mentor of [...]

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 [...]

The producers are shaking [...]
