American Idol’s most entertaining man, Heejun Han is now gone. Even thought the judges lauded his version of Song For You, it was apparent that his vocals just weren’t up to par with the rest of the folks. (I have a friend named Hea Jin and I would love to reenact David Letterman’s Uma/Oprah bit from the Oscars several years ago, with her and Heejun. Heejun … Hea Jin. Okay, that original bit died, but that idea did run through […]

American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 9
Earlier this week, my friend Tiffany ( @TVProducerLady ) and I discussed the show so far on the latest episode of Blerd Radio . Tonight, the contestants are going to be singing songs performed by their idols. Stevie Nicks is mentoring them with Jimmy Iovine. Colton Dixon is singing Everything from Lifehouse. Stevie told him to never cut his hair. She likes the muskrat look? It’s a worship song and he put on the kind of performance that works. There wasn’t many highs […]
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 12
Last week, sweet-singing Jeremy Rosado, was eliminated. He didn’t even last long enough for the nickname I gave him to stick around, which was Big Pun. But that’s not even newsworthy compared to the bomb TMZ dropped yesterday. Jermaine Jones will be kicked off “American Idol” Wednesday night, after producers learned he concealed the fact that he was arrested twice last year and has outstanding warrants … TMZ has learned. We’ll see how they handle it tonight, but it’s definitely big news. […]
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 […]
The Blerd & Gonzo Cover Convo: “You Belong To Me”
Why are there less than six degrees of separation between Michael McDonald and Jennifer Lopez? Find out in this week’s Blerd & Gonzo Cover Convo!
The Viewfinder: Jennifer Lopez’s “Papi”
I have no idea why I love Jennifer Lopez’s Love? as much as I do. I also have no idea why I watched About A Boy starring Hugh Grant for the umpteenth time the other night. Things happen and we can’t explain them, alright? Anyway, Jenny from the block is back with “Papi”, her latest single from the aforementioned record. It’s also my favorite song from the album. Don’t let me sway you though. Listen to “Papi” once and I […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were Two
We’re down to the final two. After what I consider a pretty strong comeback season, the finale is a bit anticlimactic. With Lauren and Scotty as the only ones left, the story that drives the American Idol season is missing. Neither has the charisma of an Adam Lambert or Ruben Studdard. Neither looks like they’ve lived the life of a David Cook or Danny Gokey. They are simply talented children who have outlasted everyone else. I don’t expect the judges […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were Three
There was an uproar over Big Game James leaving last week. People were swearing that they weren’t watching the show anymore. This show sucks! I’m going to let those of you disgusted folks in on a secret. Come closely to the computer screen. Ahem; there isn’t a true front runner on this show, thus, no one was robbed and you shouldn’t be surprised who wins this season. James could’ve won the show. But so could the rest of the three. […]
Award Show Sundays: No More Games Edition
The bootylicious Jennifer Lopez was on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” earlier this week promoting her new album, Love?, as well as her judgeship on “American Idol” when Leno asked her about her first big-deal dancing gig. Lopez revealed that it was on a 1991 American Music Awards performance with pop darlings New Kids on the Block. Of course, Leno then pulled out a clip of the performance and showed it to the audience, appearing to mortify J. Lo. […]
