On last night’s AI show, Iraheta sang “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and she showcased her astounding vocals once again. [...]

TV Recap: American Idol - Top 10 Results
Tonight is about the results and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Michael Sarver, Megan Joy and Scott MacIntyre. It’s nothing personal against these three. Megan’s gorgeous, Scott has a great sense of humor (loved his comments on those hideous pink pants someone dressed him in last night) and Michael is absolutely charming but vocally, these three continue to fall further and further behind as the rest of the group pushes onward and upward. This gap seems to emerge each season as the divi...

American Idol Experience
After the motorcade and the actual opening of the American Idol Experience attraction, we were treated to an after-party.  For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised by how approachable and friendly the former American Idol contestants were.  The party was held outdoors near the Tower of Terror and Rock’n’Roller Coaster and the first thing you could see were these blue glowing cocktails.  It was a really cool effect since it had gotten dark.  We sat down...

American Idol: Semi-finals, week two (results)
Last night, I blew off primetime to go with a friend to a screening of "I Love You, Man" -- only the company massively over-issued passes, so my friend Steve and I were told "better luck next time" when we were eight spots from the front. Instead, we saw "Taken" (aka the greatest Father's Day movie ever), and I'll be slowly working my way through Thursday night's TV as the day goes along. First up is the "American Idol" results show, which of course I can watch in under five minutes....

-The X Factor' in the U.S.?: Five reasons that makes me fear for -American Idol': PHOTO
News that Simon Cowell might bring top-rated British singing competition The X Factor to the U.S. airwaves has me feeling a little skittish.
