Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
No sleep for the remaining weary tonight. We finally made it to the semi-finals, so it was three-for-three this evening: three songs for each of the final three contestants.
One song was chosen by a judge, another by the producers and the final tune was up to the singer’s discretion. Who brought their game faces tonight and who cracked under the increasing pressure? Read on!

American Idol’s Four Finalists
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Ratings,
After the cast of American Idol’s season 6 were whittled down dramatically from six to four, the stage looked a little emptier. And last night’s performances, at least in the judges’ eyes, didn’t do much to fill the empty space. Though Idol finalists Blake Lewis, Melinda Doolittle, LaKisha Jones, and Jordin Sparks sang two songs apiece, they got harsh reviews from that famous panel of three. Even Paula wasn’t waxing poetic and oozing positive ego-boosters at random, and Randy Jackson kept it real – hard core style. Though Blake changed up his disco tunes and added a modern flair, the judges had little that was good to say about his BeeGees renditions. Barry Gibb, the evening’s mentor, was extremely open to the ways the Idols changed his songs, which is more than can be said for most mentors of the season. All four competitors sat through at least one round of less-than-rave reviews from the critical judges, three people who obviously expected to be blown away at last night’s live show and ended up feeling a little let down. But what do you really want from BeeGees night? Today, the performances are old news. What everyone’s wondering is who will be left out of the final three, and who won’t.

American Idol: Season 6 Finals - Week Nine

With only four singers left to fill a whole hour—it was time for the contestants to be tasked with two songs each.
But of course, they were limited to one songwriter’s library. Luckily, Barry Gibb has a wealth of songs to choose from. From his hits with The Bee Gees to the tunes he penned for other artists—there should be something out there the contestants could sing. Right?

Idol: Coming Soon to a City Near You
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Internet,
The American Idol summer tour has officially been announced. In case you just can’t get enough of Idol, here’s your chance to catch the top 10 finalists performing live. I don’t want to get too down on Idol, but at this point, I just want the whole thing to be over. Not sure I could endure a live show after a very long season. Finishing in the top 10 definitely has its perks though—they’re booked for 56 shows—so their 10 minutes of fame could get a nice little extension (I’m looking at you, Sanjaya). Check out Melinda Doolittle, Chris Sligh, Gina Glocksen, Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, Phil Stacey, Lakisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson and Jordin Sparks at a city near you! Tickets go on sale on May 19th. Visit the American Idol web site for tour infomation.

Charity week’s over…so enough of the niceties. Two people will be going home this week—and with the sacrificial lamb (Sanjaya) already gone, there aren’t many left to choose from.
Jon Bon Jovi was on hand this week to help guide—and weed out—the singers. As a thank you, the contestants did their best to avoid butchering his songs. Who managed to rock it out and who just ended up sounding like bad medicine? Read on!

It took six seasons for the producers of American Idol to finally realize that they had Oprah-esque potential to inspire acts of charity. But better late then never, right?
Taking advantage of their large audience, AI and its sponsors reminded the viewers (and themselves) how superficial a singing contest really is. In an attempt to lessen our collective guilt and help people around the world—the viewers were given the opportunity to donate to charity simply by doing what they’ve been doing for weeks: voting. For every call made tonight, $.10 would be donated to charity—up to $5 million in total.
So in keeping with tonight’s theme, the contestants were charged with performing ‘songs of inspiration’. But were they successful in getting people to vote for them? Read on!

Guess who I am: I only have one Spanish-language album to my credit, yet American Idol has already deemed me a Latin-music afficionado. If you guessed JLo—I mean Jennifer Lopez—then you’d be right.
Well - no matter how well she may/may not sing…we all know that Jennifer can dance and put on a show. Was she able to help infuse a little rhythm and spice into the contestants’ performances? Read on!
