American Idol

Is it just me, or was the idea to have five reality TV presenters host this years Emmy awards a really, really bad idea?
The show was jointly hosted by American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest, Survivor’s Jeff Probst, Project Runway’s Heidi Klum, Deal or No Deal’s Howie Mandel and Dancing with the Stars Tom Bergeron.
The show seemed […]

Don’t worry, we won’t be losing Randy, Paula or Simon from the judges table at American Idol, but we will be welcoming a fourth judge – Kara DioGuardi.
Yes, most of you are probably thinking, “who?” since DioGuardi is hardly a household name (at the moment). Even she was surprised to receive the call asking her […]

The adorable Nigel Lythgoe who we all know best as the face of So You Think You Can Dance, has decided that he’s just not passionate anymore about American Idol.
Nige has been a producer on the show for seven season, but is leaving his role as executive producer behind to concentrate more on So […]

Ok, so what went wrong for David Archuleta? When David Cook picked up the ultimate reality show crown this week as the American Idol winner, a nation gasped in stunned silence. Sure, there were plenty of Cook fans around, that is clearly visible from the sheer number of votes cast in his favor. Over […]

Yet more rumors are floating around surrounding showbiz daddy Jeff Archuleta. Seems that he’s been banned from backstage at American Idol for being far too intrusive with vocal coaches, the band, other contestants and the producers.
Needless to say, nobody over at the Idol set is letting much out about this one, but it just […]

Thank ‘God’. This chick really irritated me with her holier than thou preachy songs and her cheesey little smile. Sure she could sing, but man she had a couple of atrocious weeks and it’s a miracle (probably from God) that she managed to stay in as long as she did.
Some Christian music label is […]

How funny was that section of American Idol: Idol Gives Back when Terri Hatcher found ‘Mike Delfino’ fixing Carrie Underwood’s plumbing… er.. sink and said “if you’re gonna steal my man, I’m stealing your song” or words to that effect. Teri took to the stage to sing Before He Cheats and she was actually […]

You’ll all remember Josiah Leming from American Idol for one of a few things—perhaps his living out of his car–hard luck story tugged at your heart strings, maybe it was the British accent he’d suddenly get whilst singing, or perhaps maybe, like me, you kind of thought he was a bit of an ass […]

So if you managed to stay tuned to Idol this week, in what was quite possibly the closest to train-wreck TV Idol has come this season, you’d have noticed the advert for the ‘Idol Gives Back’ special.
The 2nd ‘Idol Gives Back’ show is due to air on Wednesday April 9 between 7.30pm-10.30pm ET and the […]

If you caught this weeks Idol where the contestants had to sing The Beatles tracks, then you’re probably stunned at David Archuleta’s performance. Yes, the kid messed up at last, but that’s ok, we still adore him and want him to win right?
In a week that brought some interesting song choices, ranging from the […]
