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 …

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 …
