American Idol winner Jordin Sparks “looks up to” Sanjaya Malakar. She said in an interview,
He had so much guts. He had so much strength. He got a lot of criticism, but for him to go out on that stage and hold his head high … I really look up to him for that. He’s […]

So you can’t make the American Idol tour because you live in Alaska or because you can’t afford the $70 ticket prices, or you’re just protesting it because Sanjaya is going to be there? Don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to see the kids again on the Fourth of July live on NBC. […]

So with no major missteps to speak of, who gets to […]

I’m nervous for Melinda Doolittle. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I thought she sounded great on this week’s Bee Gees themed show. Her renditions of “Love You Inside and Out” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” were great. In fact, Only Jordin’s “To Love Somebody” came close to Mindy’s level, as both Blake […]
