After three weeks of intense multiple eliminations, American Idol has whittled down the field to only twelve. Now, we can get to the serious business of advertising and group singing - something has to pad the endless hours Idol is on the air. But before we can move forward, let’s take a quick look back t four contestants we definitely won’t see singing on the Idol stage this week - the four who almost made it to the Top 12.

American Idol: Top 12 Revealed

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial

American Idol’s Top 12 is a big milestone for the show. It marks the beginning of Ford commercials, brings contestants one step closer to the summer-long Idol tour, and usually symbolizes the cutting away of dead wood. But I’ll go ahead and say it - I’m not pleased with the way it all went down. Let’s re-cap.

The night kicked off with a fantastic performance from Season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis, who saucily performed “How Many Words.” He shared a few comments with host Ryan Seacrest before he quickly departed, so that everyone could turn their attentions to twelve empty chairs lined up on the stage.

The surprises. The shock. The “oh no” moments. Everyone who watches American Idol makes predictions, roots for some to lose and others to win. But, there’s no real way to know who will walk away with the top prize until the votes are in…or is there?

Gambling911.com and other sites are offering odds on each of the Idol contestants, providing payouts on correct gambles. Right now, the odds-on favorite is adorable David Archuleta, who blew everyone away during 70s week with his version of John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

American Idol Review: Top 10 Girls

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Features

So it seems that, largely, 70s week was a bust for the American Idol contestants. The theme of both the Tuesday and Wednesday performances seemed to be “pick a better song next time.” But for four of them, there will be no next time.

Carly Smithson ended last week’s performances, slating her in the first place position Wednesday night. I loved her black outfit and the power she put into “Crazy On You,” but there were times when everything didn’t quite sound in key. Randy Jackson called her performance “good toward the end,” but said that she “over-hit” some of the notes. Paula told Carly, “you are an amazing singer” which started off the tone of her mostly generic comments for the rest of the evening. Simon liked Carly’s performance better than last Wednesday’s, but thinks she hasn’t quite found the right song. He did give her one piece of praise, saying none of the other girls in the competition “can touch you vocally.”
