The Voice – NBC’s New Singing Competition Show “The Voice” Recruits Mega Stars

Written by on April 29, 2011 · Leave a Comment

You’d have to be living under a rock not to have heard about The Voice on NBC, which premiered this past Tuesday, with a repeat performance shown on Wednesday night. American Idol just might have some strong competition for ratings and viewership now that fans have had an opportunity to watch The Voice, and seen how refreshing the new singing show is.

As an avid fan of American Idol, beginning with Kelly Clarkson’s spectacular win with that magnificent voice of hers, as well as the many other past American Idol contestants who have gone on to do great things in their chosen music career, I’m hooked on The Voice. What a great show NBC has created, masterfully chosen musician coaches (not judges, like on Idol), and the brilliant concept of having singers perform blind auditions where each singer is heard but not seen. Genius!

American Idol 4/28/11 – Who Got Voted Off American Idol Tonight

Written by on April 28, 2011 · Leave a Comment

The Carole King songs theme from last night on American Idol brought some real winning performances, but one of the Top 6 idol contestants will get the boot tonight. Who is going home? Making predictions of who is most likely to get voted off tonight have been proven wrong time after time, so there’s no point in even attempting a wild guess. Whoever received the least number of votes is who goes home.

This is American Idol! The Idol judges take the stage, and wow wow wow does Jennifer Lopez look HOT in that red dress! Ryan Seacrest says that “a lot of fans are going to be disappointed with tonight’s results”. Ruh roh! The Top 6 are introduced to the stage and take their seats on the couch. Steven Tyler made the covers of two magazines, Rolling Stone and People Magazine, says Ryan. Steven laughs it off saying when he’s “bad he’s really bad but when he’s good he’s even better.”

American Idol 4/27/11 – The Top 6 Idols Sing Carole King Songs Recap

Written by on April 27, 2011 · 1 Comment

This week’s theme on American Idol is Carole King songs. If the idea of the Top 6 singing Carole King songs doesn’t excite you, you’re not alone. Quite a few Idol fan blogs aren’t the least bit interested in this week’s theme, but hopefully the six finalists will pull it off tonight and knock our socks off. Hmm, or not.

Ryan Seacrest introduces each of the Top 6 finalists on stage, adding that America has “chosen the best of the best” from the audition and competition. “This is American Idol!” says Ryan. Video clip is shown of Carole King’s iconic history in music to start the show. “Babyface” Kenny Edmonds mentors the Top 6, working alongside Jimmy.

American Idol 4/21/11 Top 7 Results – Who Got Voted Off American Idol Tonight

Written by on April 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Last night’s 21st Century performances by the Top 7 were pretty darn good, but one of the contestants is getting the boot tonight. Online polls and predictions of who will be voted off each week have been notoriously wrong for weeks, so there’s no point in even attempting to predict tonight’s results. Some American Idol watchers feel it’s past the time for Stefano Langone to go home, and IF Dial Idol predictions are correct this time around, they may get their wish. But, Dial Idol hasn’t exactly been right on the money for some time now. According to DI, Stefano received the lowest number of votes and is most likely the contestant being sent home tonight. We’ll see about that when Ryan makes the announcement.

This is American Idol! The judges make their entrance, followed by Ryan Seacrest. Ryan says tonight is going to be “another difficult elimination”. The Top 7 will soon become the Top 6, as the contestants are introduced. Over 52 million votes came in last night, says Ryan. Katy Perry will be singing tonight, and David Cook will debut his latest single.

American Idol 4/20/11 Top 7 Idols Sing Songs From the 21st Century Recap

Written by on April 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Tonight on American Idol, the Top 7 Idol contestants sing songs from the 21st century. Online prediction polls can’t seem to come to any consensus of who is most likely to get the boot next, and the most recent eliminations of Pia Toscano and Paul McDonald have at least given many Idol fans pause. No one in this competition is safe from being voted off, and if Idol viewers aren’t voting for their favorite(s), we’re sure to have more shocking results shows and the possibility of an assumed Idol finale winner being sent home.

This is American Idol! Here come the Idol judges Randy, Jennifer and Steven Tyler (with a big red lipstick kiss mark on his cheek). Ryan Seacrest introduces the Top 7 finalists. The previously eliminated girls from Season 10 and Paul McDonald appear together to sing “So What” by Pink. Pia’s new boyfriend Mark Ballas from Dancing With the Stars is in the audience too.
