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 […]
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 6
If you want to get right down to it, no matter what Stefano did all season long, he had to get eliminated because of that horrendous wannabe Chippendale’s dancing last week right? Now, let’s get to something more important. Important as in, my wife, Kara DioGuardi. Miss Kara was in the news today because of a Rolling Stone article that quoted parts of her new book, A Helluva High Note, where she went HAM on Simon and the Idol process. She says this […]
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 8
Pia, Pia, Pia. There’s a considerable amount of difference in what people think Pia’s American Idol legacy was supposed to be. Most of the women thought she was overrated and never had a chance to win (because you know, all women are catty). Most of the men thought she was a top three contender (because you know, all men thought she was hot). I was right in the middle. I thought she had the look and if she was a […]
American Idol Season 10 – And Then There Were 9
It took us a couple weeks, but there were finally some cuts. While Naimia and Thia weren’t going to win the whole shebang, it was still a little sad to see them go. Naima was probably the most creative of the contestants and it just shows that while the judges want you to make things your own and branch out and go left, the voters don’t always like it. As for Thia, she’s probably a year or two too young […]
