Ding Ding Ding... The votes are in, judges say Skylar Laine takes round 1!

I am really excited to see these Idols take on Queen. I think a lot of them have voices that are perfect for this week’s theme. For example, I think Elise Testone needs a theme like this desperately. I think Phillip Phillips can rock the house. They start off meeting with the current day Queen, Roger Taylor and Brian May… and then perform with them! That’s right, the group teams up with them for a hot Queen medley. Funny to see how some people might find this week more of a weak point for them as it doesn’t fit quite into their genre… i.e. Hollie Cavanagh, and maybe even Jessica Sanchez. Rad group number, now on with the show! Read More

We are behind the scenes with the Idols hearing what they watned to be when they ‘grow up.’ Although they are still not even there yet, some of these are pretty funny. I.E. Skylar Laine wanting to be a paleontologist. HAH! Also love that Deandre wanted to be a comedian til he found out he wasn’t funny. I think Joshua Ledet is the only one who wanted to be a singer!

"They're using products that aren't even on the market!"

Randy stopped by “The Talk” to chat it up about Idol and who his faves are. He names Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips, Skylar Laine….. oh and Joshua Ledet. No mention of the other 2 ladies, but I think that’s pretty accurate. He says he wishes they (the judging panel) got another save, but says it’s a show about the American public’s votes, so that’s why they only get one. LOL he also reveals who is the biggest diva of them all! Check out the videos after the jump.

LOL, again Phillip Phillips takes the cake on funniest comment. I think it’s because he’s so serious and deadpan. “Salt.” he said, “Not even Phillip Phillips or anything, just a white cover with one word: Salt.” HAH. The others fit each of the Idols pretty well too.

Farewell Colton, it was a Bad Romance

Last night’s recap show was a reminder that now that we’ve whiddled this group down to the best of the best, we’ll have to say goodbye to our favorites every week! Last week we narrowly escaped the elimination of Jessica Sanchez, and now the Judges Save is out of play! Here’s a recap on how the results went down… Read More

Check out this behind the scenes clip of what our Idols this season simply can’t leave home without. Phillip Phillips’ cracked me up… “well… besides food…. I don’t know… my wallet?”

P squared Up in that Midnight Hour

The second half of tonight’s Idol episode is SOUL TRAINNNNN baby! The first episode celebrated songs from this decade, and now it’s time for songs from… you guessed it … a decade ago. The ‘theme’ starts off with the longest running TV show on air: Soul Train! Read More

Joshua Ledet takes the first round... He's a Fantasia fan!

Tonight’s episode kicks off with coverage from last week when Jessica Sanchez was nearly eliminated. DRAMA! Now that the Judges Save is gone, they better be on point! Ryan opens the show with a tribute to Dick Clark who died today. He was a friend of Ryan’s, and would have wanted him to get ON WITH THE SHOW! Sidenote: weird that there’s no mentor tonight.

After last week’s SAVE debacle (where Jessica Sanchez was going to go home if it weren’t for the judges save) everybody was up in arms about the judges knowing who was going home or not. TMZ the next day posted that the judges were told ahead of time that Jessica got the lowest votes and were told to get their save ready. Nigel wasn’t havin it. He called in to TMZ to set them straight that they sometimes give the judges a teaser as to what’s going to happen, sometimes it’s false, sometimes it’s true, but they never straight up tell them what’s going to happen. This week, he said, they knew there was going to be a shocker (“The judges read TMZ too!”) and he said they might want to prepare to use their save. TMZ says Jessica admitted that she wasn’t surprised, which she did, but Nigel persists that they don’t tell them because they want to capture the shock on their faces. And THANK YOU Nigel for bringing up Jennifer Hudson, as I did, that this kind of shock isn’t anything new, for when she was in this position on the show, and was shockingly eliminated when there was no save. Nigel says it cannot be rigged, and Jennifer Lopez will NOT be told what to do, and there was nothing fake about it. Nigel maintains that the judges are paid to give their opinion, and are given the freedom to do so. Quote of the interview: “It’s America’s favorite singer, not America’s best singer.” Nigel loves the controversy!

That ish cray.

Most of the performances last night were very good, although there were a few holes here and there. There are some people I could easily see go at this stage in the game. The group performances are amping up as there are less Idols for solos. Can’t wait until they are singing 2 songs each! They start out with their usual group number, which is just as cheesy as normal. This time they do “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk. We see a bunch of filler, like videos from hometowns, Colton gets asked to someone’s prom. HAH… leave some room for the Holy Spirit in there mmmkaaay. Elise Testone’s feathermaker sends some feathers for Steven Tyler’s hair! Awwww… perf! And finally, on with the results! Read More
