American Idol Information

Seacrest, Cowell

Ryan Seacrest has made comments that “American Idol” ratings have dropped this season because of Simon Cowell. Seacrest says “there’s and over saturation of his character”. Isn’t that why most people watch “Idol” to see Simon’s nastiness? I’m waiting to see what happens to the judges after Paula Abdul’s new reality show hits the air. [...]


Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has proved herself to be the most successful of the “American Idol” contestants ever after her wins at the CMT awards and also winning the two Grammy awards in her short career. Kelly Clarkson has also done a great job, so I guess the “American Idol” show isn’t all bull. The show will [...]


American Idol

So I heard a good question on “Headline News” yesterday “Is American Idol about talent or popularity?” Obviously Sanjaya Malakar’s pony-tail mohawk was the new for the show his week. I guess he’s found his gimic. Also, it’s been said that Simon will quit if Sanjaya does win. Maybe it’s time for “American Idol” to [...]


American Idol

My daughter was getting upset last night watching American Idol thinking that Chris Richardson was getting voted off. She said something was wrong with the voting because he was in the bottom two. She also said there are sites that support the vote for the least talented contestants. I don’t know if this is true. [...]


Sanjay Malakar

I sometimes watch American Idol with my kids. I’m not into it like they are, but I have heard them every week saying that Sanjay Malakar is getting voted off the show. I’ve heard him sing and I agreed with them. He’s a cute kid, but his voice is weak. So why is he still [...]


Melinda Doolittle

If Melinda Dolittle does not win American Idol this year it will be a shame. This girl can sing, and she seems so timid and quiet until she hits that stage. Last night’s rendition of I’m a Woman just flat out rocked the house. And even Simon thought so, lol.


American Idol

The rumors are that John Bon Jovi will be appearing on American Idol. Maybe I’ll finally have a reason to tune in. I’ve checked several sites today and couldn’t retrace where I’d seen it, but I did find other information that also to appear are Jennifer Lopez, Mark Anthony, and Tony Bennett.
