After a pretty abbreviated process, “American Idol” is already wrapped with the auditions … and we couldn’t be happier. The show often does not even really give their eventual winners long showcases (see Lee DeWyze or Kris Allen), and this really is just time wasted watching contestants embarrass themselves along with the occasional sob story.

Let’s start this “American Idol” notes with some breaking news straight out of the David Archuleta camp: the season 7 star is going to be pushing out a new album on March 26! The announcement was made in a press release on Thursday that the new album, entitled “No Matter How Far” (see the image […]
We’ve long had a fascination with how singing shows choose to present artists who may have already had one chance to appear on reality TV in the past, and when it comes to “American Idol” on Wednesday night, producers opted to completely ignore the fact that Matheus Fernandes was on the first season of “The […]
After just a brisk couple of weeks, the audition process on “American Idol” is just about at an end. Personally, we like this since we typically find that most only give us a small sample of the actual talent, and a bunch of garbage that is either exploitative and / or annoying. The two cities […]

It has been quite a while since we have used Jessica Sanchez to lead off an edition of “American Idol” notes, so what better time is there than the present? Ultimately, we have a feeling that we are going to be hearing quite a bit from the season 11 star pretty soon when her new […]
Since the main purpose of “American Idol” notes is highlight what many former contestants from the show are doing with their music careers, let’s start things off a little bit by talking about some music hopefully coming up in the near future from one of the most-underrated artists to ever come out of the show: […]
