Tonight, “American Idol” becomes the night we start to dislike Harry Connick Jr. as an onstage presence for the show. Let it be known that for years, we’ve come to love the guy on the show. He was a great in-house mentor, and an excellent judge to have sometimes during the auditions. He’s funny, he’s […]
This season of “American Idol” just gets stranger and stranger. For a prime example of that, you really do not have to look any further than the results portion of tonight’s new episode. For the third straight week, Rayvon Owen managed to yet again be spared from elimination, which was a completely bizarre circumstance brought […]
While it is not entirely clear just yet who will be a part of the “American Idol XIV” top 6, we can already go ahead and tell you this right away: What sort of music they will get a chance to perform. Per a new report coming in right now from TVLine, the remaining contestants […]
Tonight, “American Idol” is bringing out some American Classics for the remaining seven artists to perform. We cannot imagine this episode being one that will do much for the 18-49 demographic, but there are some good tunes in here. For some, they’ll bring some nostalgia. For others, maybe they will actually get to hear a […]
Is “American Idol XIV” starting to become a little more like this season of “The Voice“? We’re starting to feel that way, at least when it comes to one key facet of the competition: The fact that it is starting to feel as though we are going to get a predictable winner. We’re starting to […]
The seven remaining contestants on “American Idol” are all going to be performing yet again on Wednesday night, and in terms of the show’s structure, we at least expect something fairly similar to what we’ve had the past two weeks. We really cannot imagine the show ditching the whole save concept now, especially since it […]
American Idol, Survivor, The Voice
Remember the days when singing competitions dominated all of television? Well, those days do appear to be done now. While “Survivor” has been defeating “American Idol” frequently the past couple of years, it dominated it Wednesday night with a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demo compared to a 1.4. Meanwhile, “The Voice” posted a 2.1 […]
There is a big change coming to the way that “American Idol” is doing its tour this season, and yes, we do still assume that there are still some out there interested in attending the tour. As first reported by Billboard, only the top five contestants this season are going to have a chance to […]
Tonight, “American Idol XIV” brought back the Twitter Fan Save for the second straight week, and we really got a better sense of the pecking order the moment that we realized that both Rayvon Owen and Qaasim Middleton were in danger. These are the guys clearly getting lower votes than the other six. One of […]
It is Billboard Hot 100 Week Wednesday on “American Idol,” and the challenge here is to figure out a way to make these particular songs current, given that they are tracks that so many people have heard at least a couple of billion times over the course of their lives. We like the choices that […]
