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 […]

The X Factor – And Then There Were 7 (Michael Jackson Night)
After all the hub-bub, Astro is still on the show, but I don’t think the odds are great that he gets passed the next two weeks. Last week, LeRoy Bell and his stage uncomfortableness and Lakoda Rayne left the show leaving Nicole with only one contestant left and Paula with zero. But Nicole’s contestant might now be the favorite to win the entire show. Josh Krajcik, who moves to number one on my hotlist, is the most consistently great performer […]
X Factor – And Then There Were 12
Just yesterday, I posted a podcast I did with Aaron Dammit where we discussed the upcoming top 12 of the X Factor US show, which you can listen to here . I don’t generally get into American Idol until the top 12 starts, but I have to admit, last week’s elimination show for X Factor was quite the show. I hope they can follow it up with what I consider the real start of the season. Every week, I’m going to […]
Blerd Radio – X Factor Top 12 Preview Podcast
The day before the X Factor show takes off with the top 12, we give you a preview podcast talking about the show thus far, what to expect this season, and a little bit of X Factor UK history from my main man Aaron Hobart, aka Aaron Dammit. Aaron is a fan of the UK version of X Factor and he drops some knowledge about the last two seasons, which plays as a mini-preview of what we can expect for […]
The New Blerd Radio-Episode 3: May Flowers (Almost)
Episode 3 is in the books and on our latest podcast, Mike and Jesse discuss pop culture events including the new Beastie Boys album and video, Lady GaGa’s continued stranglehold on pop culture, and the debut of “The Voice”. Also discussed: “Fast 5” (which is out today) and it’s pretty cast, May’s potpourri of album releases, why no one should ever watch the first 10 minutes of “Up” , the rumored follow-up to “Garden State”, and Jesse gets the package […]
The New Improved Blerd Radio: Now with No Echo!
Not only has Jesse been a great addition to the Popblerd! staff, he’s also helped me revitalize the somewhat dormant Blerd Radio! (translation: I was a little too lazy to keep doing these myself.) Our first record was recorded last week, but fell victim to some serious audio issues; namely the fact that everything I said echoed. With audio issues fixed, we forged on ahead earlier this week and recorded a much more successful episode. Join Jesse and I as […]
Coldplay & George Michael Wish You a Very British Christmas
I suppose we’re now in the appropriate time period to be playing Christmas music. I personally have been there for about a week. I fired up Prince’s “Another Lonely Christmas” on the iPod (admittedly, not the most festive of tunes) the day after Thanksgiving, and I’m actively looking for a copy of the Salsoul Orchestra Christmas album online. With the spirit of the season slowly working it’s way through my body, I figured now would be the appropriate time to […]
