Kris Allen Is Your American Idol!

Kris Allen, the ultimate underdog, has made one of the biggest comebacks in television history!  After 620 million votes, 19 weeks, 100,000 auditions, an extra judge and a bikini girl, Kris Allen is your new American Idol.  The all- American, married boy next door defeated the glammed-out, leather-clad rocker and is now the 8th reining [...]

Who Will Win?

The last songs have been sung and tomorrow either Adam Lambert or Kris Allen will be our new American Idol. 
Round One was the contestant’s choice. Adam gave us an encore version “Mad World.”  I still find myself randomly singing it.  Kris shared “Ain’t No Sunshine” once more reminding us when he started to pull [...]

David vs. Goliath

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will face off next week during the eighth season of American Idol.  Early on, Adam Lambert showed his fierce vocal strength and originality resulting in legions of fans; no one is surprised that he is the giant daring someone to slay him.  Kris Allen started in the middle of the [...]

Danny and Kris Fight for a spot in the Finale

Tonight’s Idol gave us Danny, Kris and Adam battling it out for a spot in the final with an Idol and judge song choice.  The guys took the gloves off and gave it there all.  Tomorrow’s result show is going to be a nail biter!
Danny started the night off with Paula’s choice of Terence Trent [...]

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 [...]

Who Will Survive and Stay Alive?

After tonight’s Idol, who will be “Staying Alive?”  Two Idols will be axed due to Matt Giraud’s save last week so being left to sing “I Will Survive” is even a harder feat.  Enough with the disco puns… 
LiL Rounds started off with a performance of Chaka Kahn’s “I’m Every Woman” that the judges did [...]

Great Night for Idol

I am honored tonight to be hosting Felicia Barton (who was a semi-finalist this year on Idol) at my home with her husband and two year old son.  As our kids are running around the house screaming and making messes together, she is giving me the scoop on the contestants that are still in the [...]

Megan Joy Will Sing No More

Last night, American Idol finalists enjoyed an open book of song possibilities. Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey shined as usual while dark horse Kris Allen made another step toward the top of the pack with a brilliant arrangement of “Ain’t No Sunshine”.
After the votes were counted, it was Megan Joy who received the lowest number, [...]

All Sunshine for Kris Allen

Tonight’s theme was based on the most popular digital songs.  It was open-ended and gave the contestants the opportunity to show America what kind of record they would make.
While Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud, and Adam Lambert definitely impressed, the standout of the evening was Scott MacIntyre who performed a stripped down version of the Billy [...]

Michael Sarver Is Latest Axed on Idol

Michael Sarver did not ask for clemency despite his song choice, “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” and was the latest American Idol to be axed.  The judges considered using their veto power to save the oil rigger and family man from Texas, but running out of time, Simon made an executive decision to end Michael’s [...]
