Jason Castro’s American Idol Experience
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Clouds of controversy surrounded Jason Castro’s last week on American Idol. From Paula’s flub to Castro’s comments to Entertainment Weekly, the dreadlocked dude gave plenty of Idol watchers plenty to talk about. Recently, Castro sat down again with EW to set the record straight.
Before his Idol elimination, Jason Castro commented to an EW reporter that he was feeling ready to go home. This led, naturally, to angry comments and emails from readers who lambasted the writer of the piece. While Castro did make the comment, his words weren’t as serious as some might have believed. “That day I was in a bad mood,” Jason explained. “I was frustrated with a lot of things.”

Fame and the Top Four Mix on American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
Performance night for the top four on American Idol began with host Ryan Seacrest announcing the “competition is closer than ever before.” The same could be said of every episode every week, sure, but it was a good enough intro for the evening.
The theme: songs from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. This gave contestants a wide umbrella to show off their personalities, their style and their potential to take the coveted crown: the title of American Idol. These days, the prize is little more than the title itself. The remaining contestants all stand a great chance of getting recording contracts no matter what. But, the show must go on.
“Song selection is everything,” Ryan Seacrest reminded. With such a wide range to choose from, his words were only too true.

That Zune 2.5 update sure installs fast
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Movies, Music, Software,
Random, I know…but it just had to be said. One of the absolute banes of my history with the Zune software is how freaking long it took to install it. Even when updates were released, those typically took a little while from start to finish as well. So imagine my delight earlier this morning when I fired up the Zune client to download the latest Zune 2.5 Spring Update, and having the entire process last less than two minutes. Fit and finish, indeed.
American Idol to Celebrate Fame
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
American Idol fans have found themselves in this position before. A final four competition comprised of three men and one woman. One’s a rocker, another is a diva and two more have huge fan support. Will Idol history repeat itself? Is this the last week we’ll see the season’s resident rocker, David Cook?
Not if FOX can help it. Tonight the theme will be songs from the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, a wide umbrella of tunes which will no doubt give Cook the opportunity to shine in his chosen genre. It was in the fourth-place position that rocker and seeming shoe-in for the title Chris Daughtry was eliminated. But does that mean Cook will follow his footsteps?
Even if he did, that certainly wouldn’t be too bad. Daughtry now enjoys huge success with his famous band and probably isn’t at all displeased with how it all turned out. By this time Thursday, Idol will narrow the field down to only three. Will this year’s rocker have more longevity than others from seasons past?
