It was the boys’ turn last night on American Idol and for the most part, it wasn’t pretty. I had high expectations for this crew of men and most of them let me down. There were some surprises, though. Simon wore a button down and Ellen was more critical of the performances ( it was good to see that she doesn’t love just anybody). But let’s get down to business. Todrick Hall–First... 

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... 

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... 

I am never one who enjoys the Idol episodes that feature the worst performances of those contestants who failed to make the actual show, but when I heard the news about Alexis Cohen this morning, I remembered exactly who she was (only partially because she was a passable singer who tried to sing the likes of Janis Joplin and Pat Benatar) mostly because after the judges give her the bad news that... 

Seacrest, in. Randy, in. Simon, maybe in. Kara, who cares. But Paula Abdul’s return to American Idol as “the nice judge” is looking pretty grim.  Abdul is having contract disputes and claims that she will not be back if she doesn’t get the deal she wants. Maybe she’s bargaining for a Seacrest-like, record-breaking deal of $15 million a season.  “Very sadly, it... 

“Early Salary figures from Simon Cowell’s ‘American Idol’ contract negotiations are leaking out and they’re eye-popping. Cowell, who reportedly made $36 million last year for judging the hit competition show, has been offered three or four times that amount — between $100 million and $144 million per year — by co-producers Fox and 19 Entertainment to stick with ‘Idol’ when his... 

In today’s Idol-loving generation, we’ve been hoodwinked into believing that talent only exists in your teens and twenties.  We rarely hear about the fact that anyone over 30 isn’t even allowed to audition for American Idol.  Did the homely Brit Susan Boyle make a case for a rule change?  Some people are saying absolutely!  British and American newspapers have reported that the 47-year-old,... 

So last night was bordering on disaster for me.  My top three are Scott, Jorge and Lil Rounds.  These were above and beyond all the other performers, although I thought Ju’Not was a nice surprise.  He’s got a good shot at a wild card I think.  I expect one of those spots to go to Anoop as well.  I’ll give the third to the dark horse (and Alicia Keys look-alike) Felicia Barton.  She’s...
