American Idol Season 10 Schedule Air Dates Move to Wednesday and Thursday

Written by on November 21, 2010 · Leave a Comment

American Idol Season 10 doesn’t start until January 2011 but FOX and AI’s Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe have been very busy making big changes to the show in apparent hopes to revive the popularity and ratings of American Idol. Season 9 wasn’t very memorable in many people’s views, including mine. Simon Cowell ran off into the sunset to do X Factor, Kara DioGuardi got the boot, Paula Abdul has been gone awhile, leaving sole original judge Randy Jackson to carry on.

Yeah, we’ve got the new judges team of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler on board. Yawn. Nigel Lythgoe announced recently that the Top 24 contestants is no more, but American Idol contestants will move right on to the Top 12 after Hollywood. AI is keeping the theme weeks, but the challenges contestants will face with the new season have increased.

American Idol Top 9 Season 9 Lennon McCartney Beatles Theme Week Plus Rihanna Sings

Written by on April 1, 2010 · 1 Comment

The American Idol Top 9 contestants have their work cut out for them with next week’s Lennon/McCartney Beatles songs theme. Season 9 hasn’t been a fan favorite thus far, having been deemed the worst season since the show began.

Hopefully the top nine finalists will perform their chosen songs like it could be their last time on stage – because someone is going to be voted off next week and sent packin’. Yes Tim, it’s past time for you to be shown the door and sent home.

Idol’s final nine contestants will choose songs from the John Lennon/Paul McCartney songbook. This is the third season in the history of Idol that contestants have access to songs by Lennon and McCartney – excluding Beatles songs written and owned by George Harrison and his estate.

Who Should Be Voted Off American Idol Tonight?

Written by on March 24, 2010 · 3 Comments

American Idol will announce tonight who got voted off of Season 9, reducing the Top 11 down to the Top 10. Finally. Reading a number of American Idol fan blogs, it’s obvious that I’m not the only one who feels that Season 9 is the worst season in the history of this show.

Sure sure, there are some talented people who made it this far into the competition. Emphasis on the word some, which should probably be changed to a “couple” of Idol contestants who can consistently sing and sing well.

Wouldn’t it be great if American Idol producers and big-shots would make the oh-so-awesome decision to go straight for the jugular and allow us to vote for who will be the Top 4 contestants and get this show on the road? Everyone else can just go home. I’d vote for that decision like yesterday, and so would MJ.

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.
