“American Idol” this week headed to a city that has gotten quite a bit of publicity as of late, though mostly because of Peyton Manning randomly shouting it during football games: Omaha. Also, there were random advertisements for beef / steak throughout. Hopefully, all of the fun surrounding the episode’s setting makes up for the […]
Salt Lake City has for some reason been a huge talent pool for “So You Think You Can Dance,” but who saw it coming for “American Idol?” What we saw during tonight’s episode was a series of very strong auditions across many different genres. From a talent perspective, this was our favorite episode of the […]
At first, we were very skeptical at the thought of Randy “The Dawg” Jackson really doing anything to get himself too involved with “American Idol” this season.

Just look at last year, for example, where the show felt so much more like a thunderdome than it did anything else. Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey each gave each other so much side-eye, that almost became their resting facial expressions. […]
Do we remember how to do this? It’s been a good while since we’ve done an “American Idol” notes piece, where we do some quick-hits concerning what is going on in the world of some of the most-famous contestants to come from the show. Given that this is “American Idol” season, though, now does feel […]
“American Idol” took off from Detroit to Atlanta this week, where we had the opportunity to see a ton of talent packed into only an hour. There were funny contestants! Good feedback from the judges! A guy named Chris Medina who wasn’t the Chris Medina! Also, Ryan Seacrest’s mom! Since we are dealing with a show this […]
