For the second time, “American Idol XIII” aired an all-new episode featuring the top 8 contestants performing. The difference this time is that they were songs of the eighties, and not nearly as good as they were the were the first time around. Were there still a few standouts? Sure, but this episode had more […]
Tonight is 80s night on “American Idol,” which means most likely an opportunity hear songs that you have already heard be done on this show a million or so times already. This is not a theme that breeds creativity first and foremost, and instead, will probably just make some fans frustrated. We feel that way […]
Here we go again on our own, going down a road that’s very well known. The “American Idol XIII” top 8 has already been ranked once on CarterMatt, so what’s different now? It’s mostly a matter of placement. After a great show last week, some singers established themselves as further favorites, whereas others have put themselves […]
David Archuleta’s new video – We’ll start this edition of “American Idol” notes off with something that is still big news to many people: The return of David Archuleta following his extensive Mormon mission. This is something that kept him away for a full two years, and obviously a lot has changed in that time. For […]
“American Idol XIII” came off its best live performance show of the season going into Thursday night’s results show, and there was only one question that we had to go along with that: Were we going to have a non-elimination round as a result of that? There are only so many weeks in which the […]

“American Idol XIII” made this week what we initially thought was a pretty bad decision: Making the contestants perform their audition songs again. This idea felt like a retread, and something we would be completely bored by. There’d be karaoke numbers, and nothing would feel that refreshing to us as a viewer. Luckily, we are […]
We’ll be honest in saying that there have been times this season where we’ve been worried about the talent on “American Idol.” Everyone has it within them to give great performances, but there have been so many little mistakes and bad song choices. Can we blame Randy Jackson? That’s the easy thing to do, and […]
In kicking off this weekend version of “American Idol” notes, we feel the pressing need to start off here the most-recent contestant eliminated in Majesty Rose. In going into the live shows, we will be the first to admit that we seriously thought she was someone who was going to be making it all the […]
For the first time in quite a few years, the “American Idol XIII” results show tonight was of the short variety. It only lasted for 30 minutes, and we couldn’t be happier about that. Was there really ever a reason for this to last an hour? It was quick, it was fun, and it got […]
