We cannot quite figure out if we find the “American Idol” audition below to be annoying or entertaining. We appreciate that contestants are coming into these auditions with a goal to stand out, but there’s a difference between a cheesy gimmick and taking something a little too far. Was Samuel Prince a little much? We’ll […]
The lawsuit filed by Phillip Phillips against “American Idol” producers 19 Entertainment is one that we are going to continue watching over the coming months, and for many reasons. What’s the major one? It mostly comes down to how this suit could end up changing the way many reality shows operate in the future when […]
While we have certainly heard a variety of interesting stories as of late regarding “American Idol” and what happens with the show’s winners, this may be the most interesting story that we have heard to date. After all, we are talking here about what the implications could be for someone who makes it big as […]
daOut of all of the moments that took place on “American Idol” this week that could have gone viral, we have to say that we really did not expect this one to featuring Adam Lasher and his physical resemblance to Jimmy Fallon. Yet, it has, at least in part due to host Ryan Seacret’s appearance […]
Tonight, the name of the game for “American Idol XIV” was redemption. The audition episode in Minnesota was pretty terrible, save for maybe one or two singers who stepped it up. Tonight was definitely diverse in New Orleans, given that within a few minutes we went from having a pretty salt-of-the-earth country singer to a […]
We have one simple hope for the new episode of “American Idol” airing tonight on Fox: Please be better than what we had last night in Minneapolis. That may be one of the worst overall audition shows that we’ve ever seen. There were not necessarily a lot of horrible singers, but we had something just […]
Today’s ratings article is truly a case at the moment of very good news for one show coupled with bad news for another. Let’s start with what may get many people smiling, and that is the meteoric rise of “Empire” as a major pop-culture sensation. The series drew impressive ratings the first two weeks, but […]
Let’s face it: We’re not at the stage anymore where every contestant on “American Idol” can necessarily be as undiscovered as they once were. One of the best contestants on Wednesday night’s relatively-weak episode in Minnesota was Mark Andrew, and as it turns out, he has quite a singing-show history already. While Mark did not […]
For the first time in seven seasons, “American Idol” took off to Minnesota, which we feel is a pretty fun place to visit for auditions. With that being said, it’s not the best place at all for actual performances compared to New York. That audition episode was a knockout punch. This one was a little […]
After watching Jacob Tolliver’s audition for “American Idol XIV,” we admittedly do not have much of a clue as to how good of a singer he is. It is a little bit interesting that for a singing competition, the majority of his performance of “Great Balls of Fire” is spent watching him play the piano, […]
