The two Davids go head to head tonight in the two-night season finale of American Idol. The CORNY opening depicts a boxing match with both Davids decked out in boxing robes and sporting gloved punches in each other's direction. How lame. There's a freakin' Coca-Cola logo littering the screen - not just in the backdrop, but in the forefront too. I don't think I can do this whole watching, let

What's worse, the choices we have for the next American Idol or the choices we have for the next American president? Vote in the poll on the upper left hand side of your screen. Judges, producers and the contestants themselves were responsible for choosing tonight's songs. Judges' Choice David Archuleta"And So It Goes"/Billy Joel/Chosen by PaulaThis is, perhaps, my favorite Billy Joel

If American Idol wants me to keep watching for years to come, just put Adam Levine on stage. That was the ONLY highlight of tonight's show - Maroon 5. I'm not sure yet, but M5 could ultimately make the fourth slot on my list of all time favorites. I don't even have one in that position right now. Adam Levine definitely keeps me coming back for more. If you don't have their albums - buy them.

It's down to David Archuleta, Jason Castro, David Cook and Syesha Mercado. I'm so old. David Cook is singing a song from 1982 - the year he was born. It just happens to be by one of my favorite groups of all time - Duran Duran. I've only seen the in concert six times. I need to work on that. Giving "Hungry Like the Wolf" a try - I'm just not feeling it. This is a song that only the vocals

I'm a little late posting tonight because the husband and I just got home from seeing Carrie Underwood in concert. Despite the over modulation of the sound system, it was a great concert and, of course, she ended with "Before He Cheats." Maybe I'll blog more on this later.In the meantime, you've probably already heard Brooke was sent home. Her first song last night is what probably did her in.

It was my junior year at the University of Georgia and I lived on the third floor of Creswell Hall. Within the first week, I made friends with one of my dorm neighbors who was a HUGE Neil Diamond fan. I'm a fan too - just not like she was. I'm pretty sure she went to concerts and collected memorabilia and stuff like that. Me, I'm more into the Carpenters.Tonight, our five finalists sing two songs

My day started out well. Then the afternoon was crappy. So I went home after a longer night at work with the intention of enjoying a glass of wine while relaxing to one of my favorite shows because surely someone who deserved to be going home tonight would be going home.WRONG!!!!!!!!!Carly is with us no more.

Good evening...this is The Husband guest blogging as Her Beautifulness, The BQ, is unable to watch live tonight.By my amazing bad luck, I get to blog about Mariah Carey songs tonight. Does Mariah really jump out and say "American Idol?" Not really, but could her good friend, Randy Jackson, have anything to do with her being on this week? Her new album is out today. What an amazing coincidence

The vast majority of last night's "Idol Gives Back" extravaganza was prerecord Sunday night but the 2 1/2 hours dedicated to the Wednesday night airing was not enough. Not only did the show go over, a lot of stuff was cut out. Fortunately, most of those segments will be sprinkled throughout tonight's show, or so I hear.Because the show went over, those who set the Tivo missed one of the better

Because it's "Idol Gives Back" week, our contestants are singing songs with the hope of inspiring us. I'm not sure what Paula is trying to accomplish, but her breasts are about to explode out of her attire.

Will all my hopes and dreams come true tonight? Will Ramiele be sent packing?

First of all, why in the world was Carly Smithson in the Bottom 3 last week? There's no sense in that kind of bull dooky. I'll do my part to make sure that doesn't happen this week - unless she totally stinks it up. This week our Top Ten will perform a hit song from their year of birth.

Ryan needs a new hairdo. Maybe some highlights again. Come to think of it, me too.In its 7-year run, this is the first time American Idol has carried a theme over an extra week but I think most of us would agree the Beatles merit more time. Besides, Paul McCartney could use the extra royalty money to help recover (yeah, right) from this week's divorce settlement with a money hungry, attention

More than 29 million votes were cast after last night's two hours showcasing Season 7's Top 12 contenders. Tonight, one of them will be sent home. My prediction is for Ramiele.Mr. Jim Carrey is a special guest tonight promoting some animated movie in which he apparently voices an elephant. Appropriately, he is dressed as such.Right before introducing the Top 12's s Beatle medley, Ryan reveals

What kind of stupid 80s montage will our group of 16 youngsters subject us to tonight? Good news! It doesn’t look like there will be one. Thank goodness! Instead, we’re treated to a performance from last year’s American Idol Runner-Up Blake Lewis. Last year’s batch, with the exception of Melinda Doolittle and to a degree Blake, was a dismal bunch of losers. I’m liking this Blake ditty but the

I don’t know about you, but I’m still upset about Alaina’s untimely departure last week. It doesn’t make sense because it’s not like I know this girl. At this point in the competition, emotions have not been vested in her as a contestant. If you can explain, click the comment button below. Enough boo-hooing though.

If the pattern holds, we’ll revisit my favorite decade this week on American Idol. But first, can we get past all the controversy? I knew from the very beginning that David Hernandez wasn’t being all that truthful when he said he sang in dinner theater or something like that. I remember telling my husband there was something "different" about this guy. Sure 'nuff … his work has been in nude

After Ryan’s announcement that 31 million votes came in last night, we’re left wondering why he didn’t include the number of votes cast Tuesday night considering that two girls from last night and two guys from the night before are going home. But before they do, a montage flashing back to the 70s proves slightly more digestible than last week’s 60’s offering except for the annoying and

Last week's blog closed shop earlier today and a whopping three people voted that they believe this year's American Idol will be a girl. With that in mind, we settle in for the evening as we continue to celebrate the 70s with the girls taking center stage.Carly Smithson, 24, San Diego, CAHeart’s "Crazy on You"Very polished vocals.

Perhaps a trend is afoot. Last week our American Idol 2008 contenders belted out hits of the 60s. This week … hold your breath … we’re jumping forward a decade to the 70s.

Who did we NOT vote for last night? The two guys and two girls who garnered the least amount of the 28 million votes sent in over the last two nights are going home tonight. Of course, we have to sit through some crap before we find out. By crap, I mean all 24 of these kids are dressed in 60s’ garb as they perform perhaps the worst group medley in American Idol history.

According to the husband, who evidently doesn’t have as much work on his plate as I do, he scanned American Idol-related blogs today and discovered that Carly Smithson was missing from the audience during the guys’ performances last night. Of course, that got the rumor mill flowing today but as tonight’s show opens, Carly is at the front of the line. You know that flu bug that was going around

Did you see Prison Break last night? OMG!!! Can you believe the state of Georgia is considering a University of Florida license plate? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! As us UGA grads like to say, "Don't say the 'F' word!" Oh, you're here for American Idol, I suppose. It's the first day of Hollywood week with 164 contestants arriving on a Monday with nothing but their dreams of stardom. We're promised bigger

Thank you once again for your patience. I'll do better next week, promise! I wound up working late again last night so I was determined to leave on time tonight. That didn't work out so well either but at least the husband and I were able to power up the DVR and watch last night's show featuring the best and the rest.The first one we see going to Hollywood is Amy Davis, and it ain't got a

Sorry for the delay in this post but every now and then, you're stuck at the job that pays the bills. If only I could actually find a way to make money at this blogging thing. After all, I have three of 'em. Pathetic, I know.Speaking of pathetic, I was really looking forward to American Idol's return visit to Atlanta. I wasn't born there but at the tender age of 7, my parents packed up their

As odd as it may sound, I can basically tell who is visiting the Idol America blog based on how they vote. With that said, a big "Howdy" going out to my peeps back at the AGN. So, it was a tough vote for me between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Simply because she was the sole reason I even started watching Idol, I had to pick Kelly. Here are the results of last week's poll:Kelly

There are a lot of songs out there about Miami but will Miami be home to the next American Idol? We've got a long way to go before we'll find that out.In the meantime, Shannon McGough is up first. The backstory here is that she works in her family's meat market. Not only can she handle some meat, she has an odd ability to burp. Unfortunately, her attempt at Janis Joplin is absolutely dreadful

Did you ever watch Animal Kingdom growing up? When I asked the husband, I was reminded I'm six years older. Not directly, it was his look of confusion that gave it away. Okay, I digress from the ever-important topic at hand.

Tonight's episode of American Idol takes us to Charleston, South Carolina. I've been there once to the campus of the University of South Carolina. Never had a reason to go back.After some auditions more hideous than a Monday morning, I ask my husband "Where in the heck do these people come from?" His response: "Reproduction."Just when I thought the southerners couldn't get any scarier, the

If American Idol has proven anything, it's that just about anyone can get on television these days - and that's not necessarily a good thing.This is Idol's first trip to San Diego.DAY ONETetiana Osta-something-or-another is up first and while she doesn't do anything for me, there's a sultry, yet tender, quality about her voice. Simon doesn't think she's as good as she thinks she is. "Let me

Now that I've had a chance to reflect on last night's season opener of American Idol, I've come to two conclusions. First, the format needs to change. It's a formula that has worked for six years, but after that length of time, we need something new, something fresh. Along with that, are you growing tired of the showcasing they give to the obvious no-talents as I am? Do a vignette/montage to

When American Idol first hit the scene back in 2001, I thought it was a passing fad and a big waste of my limited viewing time. While not a passing fad, I am beginning to question whether or not it's a big waste of my even more limited viewing time, let alone continuing a commitment to blogging about the whole experience. But because of American Idol, I have had the opportunity to make new

Talking to my 84-year-old grandmother Tuesday morning, I learned she planned an evening in front of the television just like me – glued to the two-hour premier of American Idol’s much anticipated sixth season. It’s a bit ridiculous, quite honestly, to devote as much time as I do to a show that I swore up and down I’d never watch. But, like Grandma, I really like that Simon. While there’s a

So it seems the Fall TV season is in full swing and due to a busy travel month, I haven’t really had the opportunity to peak at everything I would like to. Based on what I have seen though, here are a few of my thoughts. Prison BreakFor all my homeys at the AGN – PRISON BREAK, PRISON BREAK, PRISON BREAK!!! And because it’s worth repeating – Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller are absolutely HOT!
