American Idol: Top 12 Girls Take the Stage
Well folks, we've finally entered the performance section of American Idol with the top 12 ladies taking their turn first. I was all geared up since the women are particularly strong this season, but I have to admit I was disappointed. Most of the girls played it safe, which means there weren't many standout numbers — good or bad.
We have the Top 24 woohoo!
And I totally love David Archuleta !! He has a great voice, a totally adorable face, the most pleasant personality. I can't wait to watch the show woohoo :woohoo: :woohoo: Who are your favorites of the Top24 ?First Listen: Blake Lewis, "Break Anotha"
Hey, remember Blake Lewis? The beatboxing American Idol contestant who made women everywhere swoon? We haven't heard much from ol' Blake since he finished second to Jordin Sparks in the Idol finale, but now he's prepping his first album, Audio Day Dream, scheduled to hit stores in early December.
The Verdict
2 Round Trip tickets to Miami, Florida: $567.00
Hotel on the Beach for 4 nights: $237.78
Clothes, Makeup, Shoes and Hair Products: $278.99
Auditioning for American Idol: Priceless
Although I was "passed on" by 2 (obviously deaf) producer/judges this year at the American Idol Auditions in Miami, it for sure was an experience to remember.
I met some great people in line, had tons of laughs, got a tan, sat on beaches I had never seen, swam in the Atlantic Ocean, saw Ryan Seacrest up close (wears more makeup than me), had a really great Sangria (or 2 or 3) as a consolation drinky drink after the harsh rejection and overall found that I love Miami!
On audition day, we headed to the Arena and waited outside for about 3 and a half hours while the producers got the crowd shots they needed for the opening sequence of the Miami episodes.
Miami Idol
My American Idol journey has officially begun! We arrived in Miami on Sunday morning after spending 7 hours traveling from San Francisco to Houston to Ft. Lauderdale and a short drive to Miami Beach.American Idol Bound
If you listen closely, you may still be able to hear the echo's of the last Auditions held in Omaha just 3 short days ago.... 3 cities down, 4 to go. I, myself am traveling from SF to Miami on Sunday to stake my claim in the American Idol Season 7 pie.Simon Cowell Bringing "Idol" to the Big Screen
Having already conquered British TV, American TV and even McDonald's, Simon Cowell is turning his attention to film. The "American Idol" producer is working on a film called Star Struck, a Fame-meets-Rocky story set — where else? — behind the scenes at a singing reality show.
Song of the Day: Carrie Underwood, "So Small"
After Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood is my favorite "American Idol" winner. I love her voice, I think she has good stage presence, and her "I'm just a good ol' Oklahoma girl" persona has always seemed more genuine than forced (ahem, Kellie Pickler). But I don't have any songs from her post-"Idol" career on my iPod yet; despite her many awards, none of her singles have really grabbed me.
Nigel Lythgoe Talks About Where "Idol" Went Wrong
"American Idol" came under fire this past season for losing ratings, bringing on boring contestants, and undermining the legitimacy of the show with that whole Sanjaya thing. During the panel for "So You Think You Can Dance" this weekend at the TCA press tour, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe shed some light on where "Idol" might have gone wrong. He said the show made a mistake by not focusing much on the contestants' personalities:
We were so engrossed with the mentors that were particularly good last season, and we focused on their stories and not really on the Melindas.
Miss the Ending of "American Idol"? Here You Go
So if you're like Pop and me and your DVR cut off right after the lame Sgt. Pepper tribute on the "American Idol" finale last night, here's the clip of what you missed. For the record, I was right on all of my predictions of what happened, except there was no weepy Hasselhoff this year — just Jordin's tearful parents, which almost made me cry at my desk just now.
