A well known and respected American R&B singer and soul-songwriter had something to say about a certain American Idol judge. Uncertain on which one she is speaking about it might be obvious to those that have watched the show for 9 seasons. After a crazy rollercoaster of Kara DioGuardi joining the cast and Paula Abdul leaving American Idol hired a new judge. Along with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson... 

The American Idol race is poised to be a tight one this season as last night the judges revealed their choices for the top 24 finalists. However, the reveal was not without drama and heartbreak. Last night we finally saw the return of Angela Martin, the single mother from Chicago who has been plagued with trauma every season she auditions. The producers highlighted her story in the original audition,... 

If you read this site often, then you may know I am a huge American Idol fan. I have been complacent in my commenting on the debut of this new season. The auditions are leaving me uninspired to write anything of substance … until last night. Ryan and the gang went home to L.A. where there should have been a plethora of talent. Wrong. Is it just me or are the auditions this season particuarly... 

  One-hit wonders–the most dreaded title musicians aim to avoid. Unfortunately, it’s inevitable that a number of over-played songs on the radio today, will be condemned to that damning category. As we close out on the first decade of the new millennium, Billboardhas compiled a list of the top one-hit wonders from the last 10 years. The rankings are based on how high their first hit... 

American Idol winner Kris Allen’s first single is just as you would expect: sing-songy, sweet, guitar-driven and enthusiastic. “Live Like We’re Dying” is a cover of the Irish band The Script. The song was something Allen had admired from the get-go. “[The song] was actually one that we had listened to really early on, and we kind of just fell in love with it. Everyone...

No one knows this. I just finally got the OK … just moments ago to announce this to you today…I am going to be the new judge on ‘American Idol,’” said DeGeneres in a... 

It’s not unheard of for celebrities with hot careers to decide to hit the books and get a degree (i.e. James Franco). However, it is completely different when you have a hip-hop superstar who decides he wants to trade the mic for cleats. So it goes for Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am., who has set his sights on none other than the NFL. He took to his blog and a video posted on his Web site... 

Maybe she’s getting tired of her hot hubby David Beckham getting booed by fans in LA, but this is my officially booing of the decision to have Victoria Beckham as one of Paula’s replacements on American Idol.  One Brit is enough thank you very much.  So far, the popular show has named Beckham and Katy Perry as replacement judges.   According to People magazine, Victoria plans to be... 

By now you’ve all heard the news…Marissa brought it to you first thing this morning…Paula has been booted from the American Idol judges panel.  Okay, okay, so maybe “booted” isn’t the correct word, but it sort of feels that way, doesn’t it?  I’m depressed.  Yeah, she definitely brought the crazy…but at least it made the show interesting.  No... 

American Idol fans woke up to sad news this morning as Paula Abdul announced that she will not be returning to the show that she helped turn into a cultural success seven years ago.  “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL.
