Last night, the contestants paid homage to the disco era--with the exception of Kris, who sang '80s pop, but that's okay because he was awesome. Adam did not suck at all. Danny was a menace. Allison's one note got played out. Lil still didn't know … [Continue reading]

Last night, the Idols celebrated songs from the year they were born--except for Gokey, who sang a cover of a song from the year he was born. Apparently, it is Gokey's mission in life to make me throw a brick at my television. Gokey is the new … [Continue reading]

April 8, 2009 By
Wow. This season is just flying by, isn't it? Last week, we lost what's-her-face, with the tattoos and the voice and shimmy-shimmy. Now we're left with eight individuals with the potential to become stars, but who, in all likelihood, with just be … [Continue reading]

Last night, the Idols got their iTunes on. There were bad song choices, bad performances, and most horrible of all, bad hair. Tonight, another soul gets booted with nothing to show for it but some snarky blog commentary from people like me, and the … [Continue reading]
