After American Idol: Syesha Mercado

Most of the media was treating Syesha Mercado’s elimination as a foregone conclusion before the results episode of American Idol aired this week. Now, everything is going as planned (and predicted) while Mercado makes the press circuit. Recently, Syesha spoke with Entertainment Weekly.
The questioner actually put it to her like this: “The whole country seemed to know it was going to be a David versus David finale. How was it, being on stage when you knew your fate?”
I wouldn’t have been able to find fault with Syesha Mercado if she called a halt to the interview and walked off in a huff right then and there, but she didn’t. “Well, I didn’t read the press. I didn’t get the memo,” she joked, “I heard rumors that it was going to be a David-Syesha finale.” She clarified, “David Cook,” a moment later.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest recently sat down with CNN guru Larry King to talk about - what else - the final episodes of Idol’s seventh season, and everything that led up to them.
When asked about David Archuleta, Ryan Seacrest answered “David Archuleta is extremely comfortable and poised and powerful when he sings.” Ryan admitted, “He’s a little uncomfortable and fidgety when he’s not singing, but he’s a master with the songs.” Seacrest went on to say “David Cook is very different. He’s a rocker. He’s a nice guy. And he’s been through quite a bit.”

After nearly 15 years apart (they last performed on stage in 1994), the New Kids on the Block kicked off their reunion tour this morning in a very rainy New York. Nevertheless, some eager fans waited nearly two days to get in line for the mini-concert.
During their Today show appearance, the group performed a number of songs including a medley of their older hits. (You can see several more of those clips after the jump.)
Those unable to make it to Rockefeller Plaza today can find more information on tour dates here.

American Idol: Make Way for the Finals

Editorial

The American Idol will be named next week, but before the finale extravaganza can begin there was one last piece of business to deal with: elimination. For this special night, all the judges and contestants dressed in black and white (or, one or the other).
The Top 3 Idols danced around the stage and judges’ island singing “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now.” I didn’t really love the performance, but nerves probably played a big part for the singers. The week’s Ford video followed, Idols crooning “Heaven” inside an MTV Cribs theme. This one was actually pretty cute, which is more than what can be said of weeks past.

Which of American Idol’s Top 3 Will Survive?

Editorial

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest called this year’s Top 3 competition the “closest race this show has ever seen,” but that was before the three performed their three songs. Now that the music has faded and the votes are in, there’s only one question left: who will make it to the finals, and who will make it only as far as elimination?
Each Idol contestant visited their own home towns last week, a traditional event for all Top 3 American Idols every season. For this year’s crop it meant a visit to Murray City, Utah (David Archuleta), Kansas City, Missouri (David Cook) and Tampa, Florida (Syesha Mercado).

Archuleta’s Dad Banned by American Idol?

Gossip
A recent article from the Associated Press reports that Jeff Archuleta, father of popular American Idol contestant David Archuleta, has been banned from the backstage and rehearsal areas of the show.
Some of this could stem from David Archuleta’s version of “Stand by Me,” performed recently on the Idol stage. Rumor has it that Archuleta pressured his son into using lyrics from “Beautiful Girl” in the ditty, causing FOX to fork over additional funds for publishing rights. Some sources say Archuleta was warned not to make the change.
In a past interview with Us Magazine, Jeff Archuleta defended himself against all the bad press, as rumors of his stage-controlling ways have been evident since very early on in the competition. In the interview, Archuleta called himself a “musical consultant” for son David.
