How is this for an inspirational message for some of you out there who have tried out for a singing show, and failed? Sometimes, it’s an issue of just being on the right show at the right time, and being in front of people who believe in your talent versus those who don’t. At the […]
Is “American Idol XIII” in a much better place than it was perhaps it first appeared in the ratings? Both yes and no. The good news here that you have to remember is that at least the show is in a much better sort of situation now than it was at the end of season […]
Are you ready to see yet another singing competition on TV? In a way, we know that the very thought of this may in some ways seem like torture. We already have way too many of these shows in the first place, especially when you think about there being “American Idol,” “The Voice,” America’s Got […]
Candice Glover, perhaps more so than any other “American Idol” winner so far, has been through the wringer since this past May. While most champions tend to receive everything from constant promotion to a single on the radio by the fall, her entire process of preparing “Music Speaks” has been pretty quiet. Her single “I […]
“American Idol” got off to a heck of a start on Wednesday night with a show that brought quite a bit to the table sometimes: Great performances, emotion, and judging that was actually judging.

“American Idol” finally returned from the trash heap Wednesday night with its season premiere, and we have to say that we may be looking at a zero-to-hero situation here. While it is still very early on and you don’t always get a full sense of a judge’s personality until a live so, we’re impressed with […]
Tonight, the one-time popular singing competition of America is back. “American Idol XIII” puts the focus once again on the singing rather than the judges, and it only seems appropriate that on the day of the premiere, we are spending more of our time actually discussing the contestants who we are going to be seeing […]
Tomorrow, the journey begins anew on “American Idol” as the one-time “biggest show on TV” returns in hopes of proving to everyone that there is something still left in the tank.
