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

American Idol Fan — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:01:57 +0000

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.

According to TVGuide.com, there will be “contests to make the best music video, to promote themselves, and to work with a band and dancers for an awards show-style performance.” Whether or not American Idol will return to the early glory days of high ratings remains to be seen, but some industry observers are expecting ratings to decline from last year after the initial curiosity seekers get their fill. (LATimes)

American Idol fans have been anxious for new cd releases from their favorite AI contestants, and they’re needs have been met by new cd’s released from Season 9 winner Kris Allen, Adam “Glambert” Lambert, Crystal Bowersox, David Cook, Allison Iraheta, Lee DeWyze, Danny Gokey, Jordin Sparks, Chris Daughtry and even Tim Urban.

Previous American Idol contestants Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson cd and complete album downloads are on the top of many people’s to-do list this holiday season. Let’s also not forget to consider the popular who got kicked off American Idol boot song Leave Right Now by Will Young, played at the end of the show each time a contestant gets voted off, my personal favorite boot song to date.

American Idol 4/7/10 Top 9 Results – Who Got Voted Off American Idol?

American Idol Fan — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 01:13:15 +0000

This is American Idol! Last night’s Lennon/McCartney theme brought Idol fans some good performances, for a change. We’re about to find out who amongst the Top 9 will be eliminated from American Idol tonight. Here we go!

Video clips of last night’s performances by the Top 9 are shown, plus clips of comments and criticism from the Idol judges. Ryan says the Top 9 will become the Top 8, unless the judges choose to use the save vote. (Don’t hold your breath) Ryan says we’re in for some “shocking results tonight”, ruh roh! The Idol Gives Back special program starts in two weeks; more info can be found at idolgivesback.org. Special guest performances tonight include Rihanna, Jason Derulo and David Archuleta.

The Top 9 Group Performance is a Lennon/McCartney medley. Lip-synched of course, but ya gotta love Lennon and McCartney songs regardless.

Ford Commercial to the song “Will it go round in circles”. The votes are in.

Ryan has Siobhan stand and has her stand in the center of the stage. Crystal stands and she is asked to join Siobhan. Katie stands and is asked to join Crystal and Siobhan. Nerves!!!

Crystal is safe! Whew!

Siobhan and Katie are both safe!!! All the ladies are safe!

The Bottom 3 tonight are all guys! OMG!!

Adam Lambert mentors the Top 8 next week. Jason Derulo (signed by Kara) sings “In My Head” and is attempting his best imitation of Michael Jackson’s moves. Um no. Michael Jackson wannabe. Twitter peeps don’t like the performance, but Simon says “that was great”. The song sounds good but I’m definitely not liking the Jackson imitation-attempts.

David Archuleta sings John Lennon’s “Imagine” and is playing piano. David is sounding really good tonight. Good job! What’s up with that haircut David? David’s been writing, recording and says his single should be coming out soon.

Ryan says they’re going to form two groups in the center of the stage. Drum Roll….

Lee is asked to stand and is asked to go stand at the far side of the stage.

Michael Lynche stands and asked to stand near/behind Ryan (not by Lee).

Casey James stands and is sent to stand by Lee on the far side of the stage.

Aaron stands and is sent to stand next to Mike, behind Ryan. Ruh Roh!!!

Tim stands and is sent to stand by Lee and Casey.

Andrew joins Michael and Aaron.

One group is safe and the other is the Bottom 3!!! Remember, “shocking results tonight”.

Lee, Casey and Tim are all safe!

Bottom Three tonight:

Michael, Aaron and Andrew!!!

Aaron Kelly is safe and sent back to the stools.

Bottom Two: Michael Lynch and Andrew Garcia!

All this weeks’ tunes are available on iTunes, says Ryan.

Rihanna debuts her new single “Rock Star 101″. Wait, what? Wasn’t Rihanna supposed to sing “Te Amo” tonight? WTH? Rihanna’s wearing a shiny, skin-tight cat suit. “Playing” a black guitar, if you wanna call it that. Twitter peeps are NOT impressed with Rihanna’s performance tonight. No kidding.

Andrew Garcia is safe!

Michael Lynch (Big Mike) is voted off and has to sing for his life, hoping the judges use the save on him! Shocking Results Tonight is right! Wow!

MICHAEL IS SAVED! THE JUDGES USE THE SAVE ON MICHAEL LYNCH AND HE’S BACK NEXT WEEK!!!!!!

Next week there will be TWO Idol contestants voted off! We still have the American Idol Top 9!!!!

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

American Idol Fan — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:05:17 +0000

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.

Rihanna will appear on Idol’s elimination results show to perform her new single “Te Amo”.

America voted off Didi Benami last night, leaving the remaining top 9 contestants to sing for their lives in America’s “favorite” singing competition, despite the fact that American Idol ratings are dropping steadily.

Perhaps Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell could finally stop the time-wasting bantering back and forth, and get on with the show. Good “time fillers” you’re not.

American Idol Top 9 Contestants of Season 9 are:

Crystal Bowersox
Lee DeWyze
Andrew Garcia
Casey James
Aaron Kelly
Michael Lynche
Siobhan Magnus
Katie Stevens
Tim Urban (for the moment)

We can’t wait to get the Lennon/McCartney catalog song list the contestants have to choose from for next week. We’ll pass it on when we get the list of song choices.

Who Should Be Voted Off American Idol Tonight?

American Idol Fan — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:58:21 +0000

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.

Speaking of yesterday and last night’s performances on Idol, what is it with Siobhan Magnus and all that horrendous screaming? The first time she screamed her bloodcurdling, ear bleeding inducing scream that makes fingernails on a chalkboard seem tame in comparison, three weeks in a row of screaming is just too much. Siobhan, please stop the screaming. You proved you can scream already, so now just stop.

Not only were most of last night’s performances a complete trainwreck, most of the “top” contestants should have received a pink slip and the producers plan a do-over for the entire season. That’s why Simon Cowell and the other decision makers should fast-forward this farce, choose the best four, let America vote for who they want as the winner and be done with it.

Simon can then go off into the sunset and start focusing more of his attention on the X Factor.

So-so talent in this singing competition, especially now that we’re at this stage of the game, makes the show dull and boring. That’s putting it mildly.

Paige Miles and Andrew Garcia will most likely find themselves in the Bottom Two. Deservedly so. If I had to make a prediction of who should be voted off tonight and sent packing, I’d have to go with Andrew.

I won’t be surprised at all if Tim Urban is included in the Bottom Three. Sliding across the stage, with a lackluster singing ability, won’t keep ya in this competition Tim. Sorry.

Of course, I have my personal favorite(s), but I’m not going to tell you who he/she is.

Of those who should not be voted off and allowed to stay around awhile longer are Didi Benami, Casey James, Michael Lynch, Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Siobhan Magnus (if she stops screaming and causing my ears to bleed!).

Everyone else can go home.

Make your predictions of who will be voted off tonight – Who do you think will be sent home on American Idol tonight? Who would you LIKE to see get voted off? Who do you want to stick around and make it to the top 10 and even down to the top 4?

Randy Jackson Leaving American Idol Too…

American Idol Fan — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:17:23 +0000

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.

“Randy was basically told that there was a very good chance he was not going to be asked back after this season,” said the tipster. “Now that Simon’s leaving at the end of the season, they are rethinking the roles of the other judges — and that includes Randy…..”

Randy Jackson has just one more year left on his contract with FOX, and even though Jackson isn’t making an official statement quite yet, Idol fans and Jackson fans might as well start getting used to the idea that all of the original judges for American Idol are walking away from the mega-hit reality show.

What will happen to American Idol after Season 9 is anyone’s guess. Cancelled due to low ratings? Can Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres (and any other judges or guest judges brought in) keep Idol alive, perhaps increase ratings and viewership? Personally, I highly doubt it.

Ellen DeGeneres may do well as a judge on American Idol, we’ll just have to wait and see. With Kara, I can take her or leave her, it makes no difference to me. But now that we know the hype, buzz and rumors about Randy Jackson leaving American Idol are all over the net, it’s a good guess that once Season nine is over and done with, Idol will be gone too.

Replaced by X Factor, with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson as judges.

Simon Cowell to Leave American Idol

American Idol Fan — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:26:49 +0000

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.

Times of London is reporting that Simon Cowell is preparing to make an announcement about a new arrangement with Fox, where the U.S. version of X Factor will air in 2011, and his plans to leave American Idol.

“He is considering standing down as presenter of American Idol, which appears on the Fox network in the US, after its next season. The X Factor is due to begin filming in Los Angeles in September 2011, to be shown on Fox and presented by Cowell.

Cowell is currently paid about Â£22million a year by Fox to act as a judge on American Idol, which is owned by Cowell’s fellow music and TV producer Simon Fuller. For the past five years it has been the most successful TV show in America.

The filming schedule means that Cowell will be able to front at least one more series of The X Factor in Britain.

Negotiations with ITV are expected to conclude soon, people close to the deal said. Cowell has said that his loyalty is with ITV but wants it to pump money into The X Factor.

If Cowell switches from American Idol to presenting The X Factor in America, it would mark the end of his long commercial relationship with Fuller, the former Spice Girls producer.”

Cowell told a BBC interviewer that he definitely plans to launch the show (X Factor) in the US. “It has to go to America. There has to be an American version of the show,” he said. “To not take ‘The X Factor’ to the biggest market in the world would be crazy.”

One can only speculate about the reasons why Ellen DeGeneres was brought in as the new fourth judge, but with Simon Cowell apparently leaving Idol, what’s the point of hiring a new judge? Tick, Tick, Tick goes the time bomb perhaps?

What will happen to the American Idol show is yet to be determined, but do you hear the tick, tick, ticking of the time bomb yet? Will you stick around to watch American Idol with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul both gone? Rumor has it that if Simon Cowell leaves American Idol for sure, instead of the regular teasing of staying vs. leaving, Idol will cease to exist in no time flat.

Simon Cowell 50th Birthday Party

American Idol Fan — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:49:00 +0000

Happy Birthday Simon Cowell! Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday party was a lavish, extravagant party in celebration of Simon turning 50 years old on Wedneday, October 7th 2009. The American Idol music mogul got the birthday party started early on Saturday, October 3rd, inviting 400 guests to the party event held at billionaire Sir Philip Green’s mansion in Hertfordshire, England.

Birthday boy spared no expense entertaining family, friends and A-list celebrities including Sir Elton John, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, singers Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue and chef Gordon Ramsay, with an estimated cost said to be a whopping 1.5 million dollars, including 75,000 for a fleet of limousines to bring birthday guests to the event. Speaking about the party’s hefty price tag, the birthday boy said, “I always pick up my own tab whether it’s for four people or 400.”

Simon Cowell treated party guests to vintage champagne and performances by boyband Westlife, X Factor winners Lewis and Alexandra Burke, as well as a Happy Birthday rendition from supermodel Kate Moss. Several of Simon’s ex-girlfriends were also in attendance, including Terri Seymour, Sinitta and Jackie St Clair.

Waiters for the private birthday party wore masks of Simon’s face, with large photo images of Cowell plastered all over the party. Party guests dined on a Simon-themed meal fit for the American Idol judge, including ‘Simon’s Chicken Soup’, boasting pasta shapes in the music mogul’s name.

Simon’s Rolls Royce Phantom was damaged during preparations for the birthday party, when a delivery man bringing 960 bottles of Sapporo lager dropped the first case, sending shattered glass all over Simon’s prized possession. See photos here.

Birthday wishes from David and Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston were pre-recorded and played on giant screens at the birthday party. Simon Cowell’s birthday party guest list included Idol host Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Olivia Newton-John, Jennifer Lopez, Leona Lewis, David Hasselhoff, Katie Price, Paula Abdul, Piers Morgan, Kelly Brook, Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts, The X Factor winner Shayne Ward, and Simon’s 82-year-old mum Julie. Susan Boyle, who shot to fame on Simon’s reality-tv show Britain’s Got Talent, reportedly skipped the party bash because she was too busy with her family in Scotland.

Simon’s Cowell’s birthday letter to “my shallow, reckless, cocky younger self” answers questions of why Simon is always dressed down, why working very hard and never giving up to get to the top is so important makes for an interesting read:

26th September 2009
Dear Simon,
First things first, how are you? On second thoughts, don’t answer that. I know exactly how you are feeling. It is the early Nineties and you are frustrated, exhausted and worried sick. Life at this moment is not great. Yet just a few years ago, you felt like you were the king of the world!
However, your dazzling reign turned out to be rather short-lived, to say the least. The record label you co-owned went bust and you lost everything – the big house, the car, everything.
So the sun went down on your shiny empire and you had to go back to living with Mum and Dad. That was, as I am sure you and I agree, humbling to say the least. Yet what is harder – much harder – is trying to claw your way back up the ladder.

Read more of Simon’s letter to himself.

Happy 50th Birthday Simon Cowell! Aren’t ya thrilled that Simon Cowell is NOT leaving American Idol after all? We’re still really upset though that Paula Abdul is no longer an American Idol Judge.

Randy Jackson loved this performance, “it shows us what you can do in the music business in the future”. Kara said it was a “competent performance”, but says “you gotta hit it out of the park” and not behind the piano, taking more chances. Paula Abdul says “there was a bum note” but says Kris deserves to be in the Top 3. Simon tells Kara she and Randy can’t choose a song for Kris to sing but then blame Kris for doing the song with the arrangement he chose, saying Kara and Randy should have chosen the arrangement.

Kara says Adam is a “strategist”, able to make performances “unbelievable”, doing his “own version” of the song. Paula jokes about sitting next to Simon “gloating over Adam’s performance”.

Paula says “bravo”, “I commend you”. Simon thought it “was a lame song choice” and had “literally written you out of this competition, but that’s all changed after that performance”. Good job Kris!

Kara wonders “Who hits those notes? Adam Lambert”. Paula says “We’ll see you in the finals”. Simon Cowell says he’s “not going to suck up”, but tells Adam that Adam fans need to vote for Adam because he deserves to be in the finals based on talent.

Over 47 Million Votes came in last night! Wow!!!

Idol host Ryan Seacrest asks Simon Cowell what he thought of last night’s Rat Pack performances and Simon says “everyone was good”. Taylor Hicks, Natalie Cole and Idol Mentor Jamie Foxx will perform tonight.

Here comes the Ford Commercial

Top 5 Group performance “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Got Rhythm”. It was okay; the group performances are always pre-taped and lack the WOW factor of singing/performing LIVE.

A few Idol Top 5 Birthdays were celebrated in one weekend. Video of the Top 5 in the kitchen “making a cake” but turns into a food fight.

The kitchen was a huge mess, with the food fight supposedly being started by Danny Gokey. Danny was handed a “birthday present” which was a $6000.00 bill to clean up the mess.

Matt Giraud is asked to stand on the right side of the stage. Danny Gokey is asked to head to the left side of the stage. Allison Iraheta is asked to stand next to Danny on the left side of the stage. Kris Allen is asked to stand next to Matt Giraud. UH OH Kris! Adam Lambert is asked which of the two groups of contestants he thinks he belongs in. Adam Lambert initially takes the side of the stage with Allison and Danny, but Ryan Seacrest moves Adam Lambert into the group with Matt and Kris.

The Bottom 3!

Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert!!!! Idol fans on Twitter are freaking out at the news that Adam Lambert is in the BOTTOM 3! Quite an UPSET on American Idol tonight! No one would have predicted that Adam Lambert would EVER find himself in the Bottom list!

Natalie Cole is singing “Something’s Gotta Give“. Natalie Cole’s career spans almost 4 decades. Rumor being discussed on Twitter is that Natalie Cole is “sick” and needs a kidney. She definitely looks very very thin.

Taylor Hicks is singing “Seven Mile Breakdown” from his album “The Distance”. Taylor Hicks has lost a few pounds, and his hair is cut much shorter than before.

Joining Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey in the TOP 4 is KRIS ALLEN!!!! That means Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud are the Bottom 2 tonight! WOW!

Idol “mentor” Jamie Foxx takes the stage singing the #1 song in America, “Blame It On The Alcohol“. THAT’S the #1 song in America right now? WHY? Yawn….

Ryan Seacrest is now asking Jamie about working with the Idol contestants and says the Top 5 are all “artists” and will have a great career regardless of who wins American Idol Season 8.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol tonight?

After 47 million votes, the highest of the season, ADAM LAMBERT- is SAFE!

Matt Giraud was voted off American Idol tonight!

Your Top 4 American Idol Finalists:

Adam Lambert
Allison Iraheta
