American Idol 3/24/10 Results Show – Who Got Voted Off American Idol

Written by on March 24, 2010 · 2 Comments

Tonight we find out who amongst the Top 11 got voted off and will be included in the Top 10 Finalists.

“This is American Idol” says Idol host Ryan Seacrest. One person is going home unless the judges use the save to keep them around. Idol judges are introduced.

Group song is up: Wham’s “Wake Me Up Be You Go Go” sung by the Top 11. Typical lip-sync job. Nothing special about it at all. The group song might be worth talking about if it was actually sung live, but it’s so obvious it’s recorded. Yawn.

Next up is the Top 11’s Ford commercial to “Our Time Now”.

Randy Jackson Leaving American Idol Too…

Written by on February 7, 2010 · 1 Comment

Is Randy Jackson leaving American Idol? It was only a matter of time before news and blog reports would come out saying that Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol too, after Season 9, to join Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul on X Factor.

Randy Jackson was interviewed by the LATimes about his future on Idol, and low and behold, Jackson isn’t giving an official exit statement quite yet but…

Just like Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul did about their plans to leave American Idol, the hype and buzz about their possible plans to leave the show went on for far too long.

“We have a theory that — with Cowell leaving, Paula Abdul being a free agent for now, and (as reported) you signing a three-year extension in 2006 — the original “Idol” dream team could reunite on “The X-Factor.” Care to respond?”

Jackson replies, “You know, there’s a song by the Fray that I really love. It’s called “Never Say Never.”

In the Feb 15th edition of The National Enquirer, a tipster spills the beans that yes, Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol.

Simon Cowell to Leave American Idol

Written by on December 20, 2009 · 4 Comments

Rumor has it that our beloved sarcastic American Idol British judge Simon Cowell IS seriously considering or planning to leave American Idol after Season 9 ends. News is traveling fast across the internet that yes.., Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol after all, to focus his time and energies on launching the American version of X Factor.

Surprised? Not me.

I told you Simon Cowell is planning to leave Idol after next season’s Season 9 of American Idol ends months ago. We had to say goodbye to Paula Abdul and now it looks like Idol fans are also losing Cowell as well.

Remember, Simon Cowell’s contract ends in May 2010. If you recall, Simon Cowell was said to have plans to leave American Idol when he turns 50 years old. Simon Cowell is now 50 years old, since Simon’s 50th birthday bash was held two months ago.

Ellen DeGeneres American Idol New Judge and Paula Abdul Replacement

Written by on September 10, 2009 · 7 Comments

Ellen DeGeneres New American Idol JudgeEllen DeGeneres American Idol‘s new fourth judge and stepping in as the Paula Abdul replacement? WTH? FOX announced that Ellen DeGeneres, the mega-talented comedian and talk-show host with twenty plus years as a music industry producer big-wig…errrrr, sorry about that…will be the new 4th judge on American Idol. Ellen DeGeneres is an amazing comedian, one of the funniest comedy acts around, but an American Idol Judge??? Why? My guess is the bottom line…ratings.

Is having Ellen as a judge on Idol a good plan? Will you still watch American Idol with Ellen as the new judge? Did FOX screw up big-time choosing Ellen as a judge and you don’t plan on watching when Season 9 starts?

Here is the new American Idol Judge announcement, straight from FOX:

“Emmy Award winning talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has joined AMERICAN IDOL as a fourth judge. DeGeneres will sit alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi and offer her own unique perspective to the contestants throughout the competition.

The ninth season of AMERICAN IDOL premieres January 2010 on FOX. DeGeneres will join the judges’ panel after the auditions, which will feature appearances by guest judges Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Shania Twain.

“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on AMERICAN IDOL,” said DeGeneres. ”I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote.”

“I could not be more excited to have Ellen join the AMERICAN IDOL family,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and her understanding of the American public will bring her own unique human touch to our judging panel. I can’t wait for this next season to begin.”

“We’re all delighted to have Ellen join our ninth season of AMERICAN IDOL,” said executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “Beyond her incredible sense of humor and love of music, she brings with her an immense warmth and compassion that is almost palpable. She is one of America’s foremost entertainers, and we cannot wait to have her join our team.”
