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. […]

Well, at least something worked out the way I wanted it to. I was starting to have some pretty bad luck when it came to picking the winners of these contest-based shows. I mean first Yau was booted off the island too soon on Survivor, and then, most heartbreaking of all, my girl Melinda was ejected from the Idol […]

After months of competition, we have finally reached the end of the American Idol season. There is just one more thing left to do - crown the winner.

Well, another results show of American Idol has come and gone, and with it two more crooners have politely been asked to vacate the premises. This week’s casualties were Phil Stacey (deserved) and Chris Richardson (not). Though I am disappointed to see Chris leave, I confess that I am also pretty excited when I look […]
