One of us was at the American Idol season finale hanging out with Hee Jun and one of us was waiting at home for their sister to give birth. I’m not going to spoil who is who. Whoops, I think the photo on the right gave it away. Oh well. Tiffany ( @TVProducerLady ) was live at the American Idol finale so we’ll discuss the events as they happened. She’ll let us know who the live crowd saw as the big [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 2
I’ve been watching this show now for five months and I had no idea the final performances show was tonight. No idea at all. And I still have no idea why. One good thing is that it’s a one-hour show which means it will be all performances with little fluff. It’s Phillip vs. Jessica in the finals. Can Jessica break a five-year drought and win one for the females (Jordin Sparks was the last female to win)? Or will Phillip [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 3
On Monday, Tiffany ( @TVProducerLady on Twitter ) and I recorded a new episode of Blerd Radio talking about the final three and comparing them to final threes of yesteryear. We determined that this year’s final three is hot to deaf. This should be a fun final two shows. This is the week where the final three are celebrated with a trip home. They also get to sing songs that the judges have picked for them. I hope that Jenny Lo chooses Selena for Jessica Sanchez, Randy chooses Journey [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 4
I wasn’t able to catch last week’s show live as I was out of town. And that’s probably a good thing. America, you done did it now. How can Hollie Cavanagh be on a show that Skylar Laine is not? Unbelievable. If Hollie lasts longer than Jessica Sanchez, I just might, well, I just might. I recapped the season and the eliminations thus far and gave my prediction for the winner earlier this week. And now, we’re down to four. The first theme tonight is songs about California and the second is songs they wish they [...]
American Idol Season 11 – Where We Stand
We’re down to the final four on “American Idol.” Here’s a recap of how we got there.
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 6
I think most were surprised when Colton Dixon was eliminated last week. He seemed to be a shoe-in for the top 5 at the very least, but after having an off-night, America sent him home. I wasn’t terribly appalled. If this show were fair, there’s no way that he’d leave it before Hollie Cavanagh, but everyone else still has a reason to be here. If I liked super emo artists, maybe I’d have pulled for him more, but I don’t, [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 7 … Again
America, somebody done told you wrong. If you’re a Colton fan, I get it. If you’re a Skylar fan, I get it. Phillip? Sure. Joshua? Yes. Maybe there’s an argument for Elise somewhere. But With Hollie Cavanagh still on this show, there’s no way that Jessica Sanchez should get the least amount of votes, no matter what. Okay, I could see it if after her performance last week that she got on stage with the Tupac hologram and flipped everyone [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 7
My San Jose homeboy Deandre is no longer on this show. So I won’t have that hometown rooting interest anymore. But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t think he was performing at the level he needed to as with that falsetto, he was really a one-trick pony. When DeBarge is right up your alley and you don’t kill that DeBarge song, I’m not sure what other songs are there for you to kill. Tonight, joining me blogging the show is none [...]
Blerd Radio – American Idol Live And In Color
It’s been a fairly eventful first three episodes of the American Idol finals of season 11. Just three weeks in and we already have four eliminations and the season is just about to start heating up. Joining me this time, just like last time, is my homie from the hood, Tiffany, who you all can follow on Twitter at @TVProducerLady . Tiffany was live at Wednesday’s performance show so she has all the skinny on how it went down live. I [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 10
With Jermaine Jones and Shannon Magrane leaving the show last week, we’re down to 10. And what a crappy 10 it’s been so far overall. The first two weeks of the American Idol finals have been wildly disappointing. The performances haven’t been all that good and the song choices have been befuddling at times. I hope it gets better this week as the crew is performing the songbook of one William Joel, who you know better as Billy Joel. Jenny [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 13
If you’re the type of person who watches American Idol once the actual competition gets down to the nitty gritty and doesn’t follow the show through the auditions and Hollywood rounds, you are in luck. My friend Tiffany ( @TVProducerLady ) and I recorded a podcast that summed up a lot of what you missed. And we posted it Monday, so go take a listen . I generally don’t like the long two-hour shows. Blogging them is like a marathon, but hey, this isn’t Burger King and I can’t have it [...]
Blerd Radio – American Idol Season 11 Top 13 Preview
Later this week, the top 13 for season 11 of American Idol sing for their pop lives. I will blog the happenings here every week. I’ve watched nearly every episode of American Idol, so I know a little bit about this show. But I grabbed someone who knows even more about this show than I do, and she’s someone who I first met when I was in grade school. My friend Tiffany, who you can follow on Twitter @TVProducerLady , and [...]
