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 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 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. […]
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 […]
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. […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were Four
Well, I guess I have to eat a bit of crow. I called out Haley last week for being a fake and she went out and had the best week of her young American Idol life. Haley was a favorite of mine early in the Hollywood week, but it seemed that she was worse once she made the show. She definitely tried to sexy it up a bit when it looked like she was a goner and that was smart. […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were 5
Casey Abrams was kicked out for the second time this season and he gave it his all. You have to give it up for a guy who continually sang songs he knew weren’t recognizable and would probably hurt him in the end. Either that, or shake your head at the silliness for continuing to test that audience. Before we get to the hotlist, I finally figured out who it is that Haley reminds me of when she sings in that […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were 7
I’m going to miss Paul, the drunken sailor. Not a lot, but I’ll miss him. Let’s get right to the hotlist. Hotlist 1. Lauren Alaina – To me, she’s the leader in the clubhouse. 2. Jacob Lusk – Jacob needs to stay consistent. He obviously has an audience. 3. Scotty McCreery – Did he peak too soon? 4. James Durbin – James needs to kill it one of these upcoming weeks. 5. Casey Abrams – His fans saved him last […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were 12
Poor Ashthon. Poor, poor Ashthon. The girl who looked like she could’ve been the third wheel in a new wave Destiny’s Child is no longer with us on Idol. But that leaves the top 12, which is where we should’ve been in week one. I have a feeling we’re going to get a double elimination night one of these upcoming weeks. When it happens, someone’s going to scream “OoWee” like Anoop Desai . Before we get started, here’s the first hotlist of […]
