Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen: American Idol’s Finale Face Off
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
Who will win the American Idol crown? The question may be the same each May, but somehow the contestants are always vastly different. This year’s final two male finishers aren’t a bit like the David-David combination that became a staple of American Idol 7. So how do Adam Lambert and Kris Allen compare to each other?
Is it even possible to compare two such vastly different personalities? Lambert and Allen, this year’s Top 2, couldn’t be more contrasting.

Danny Gokey: From Musician to Model?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
“I want to come out with a line of glasses,” Danny Gokey revealed after his third-place finish on American Idol. “I would really like to start a Danny line or a Gokey line.”
But why stop there? Gokey wants to try his hand at modeling those specs, too. “I would love to be an eyeglass model. I’m serious,” he added. “That would be so cool.”
Danny Gokey doesn’t seem too downtrodden about his elimination from the nation’s most popular reality show. In fact, he doesn’t seem all that concerned with music. “I would love to do anything glasses-wise,” he made sure to hammer the point home.
Well Danny, guess we’ll be seeing a lot of you in vision ads in the future (sorry about the pun).

Simon Cowell Still Singing the Same Tune
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
For many weeks, American Idol judge Simon Cowell has made no bones about throwing his support - and prediction - behind one standout competitor. Now that the contest is winding down and a winner will soon be declared, Cowell hasn’t changed a note of the song he’s been singing.
Idol’s famously critical judge is still supporting Adam Lambert. Just recently the judge appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show singing the crooner’s praises. “He’s got swagger,” Simon smiled. The judge has said many times that Lambert will win the contest.
And they way the judges, the media and the producers of the show have been pushing Adam all season, Simon Cowell will probably be proved right.

Jennifer Hudson’s Behind-the-Scenes Idol Appearance
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Spoilers
Jennifer Hudson will, at long last, return to the American Idol stage this week. The only trouble is, most of us won’t see it for a good, long while.
The Oscar-winning actress won’t be featured until after the live broadcast has ended. Hudson’s performance will be taped, not to be aired until some distant future episode FOX has yet to name. According to reports, ticket vouchers for this week’s results show promise “special performances by Jennifer Hudson and Ruben Studdard.” Studdard’s appearance has been confirmed by Idol.

American Idol 8: Alexis Grace Talks Elimination
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
“I feel kind of like I let my state down,” petite Alexis Grace spoke with reporters following her American Idol elimination. “I’m from the South, and we’re supposed to do country well.”
“I think I actually sing country pretty good. So it was a disappointment,” she admitted. Alexis plans on pursuing her career in music, with or without American Idol.
Grace was cut from the show just shy of making the Top 10, which means she won’t be part of the summer tour. But don’t write Alexis Grace off just yet. “If you want to do anything in life, if you want to pursue a dream, you’ve got to work hard at it and believe in yourself,” Grace remains positive when it comes to her dreams, though she had her hopes dashed when she thought she might be saved from elimination Thursday night. “It’s early in the game, and it wouldn’t be good for TV if they did it so early,” Grace said of the judges’ save. “It just wasn’t the right time.”
Before she kicks off her post-Idol career, Alexis Grace is heading to Memphis, Tennessee for some family time. When she does get ready to record her own tunes, Alexis expects that her sound will be something like “Joss Stone, mixed with Carrie Underwood, mixed with Sheryl Crow.”

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
“The most rewarding thing for me has been to perform,” said Jasmine Murray, 16, the first Top 13 contestant to be eliminated from American Idol 8. “That is what this competition is all about: singing and getting up and showing everybody what you can do.”
“I am so happy,” she said, highly cheerful words on what was surely a low night for the young diva.

American Idol 8: Third Group Results
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors, Video
The third group of Top 36 performers had to wait the longest to find out whether they would be moving on…or going home. At the top of the American Idol Wednesday hour, they all gathered to - finally - learn their fate.
“I think we have an amazing start of a Top 12 going on. I’m very proud of all of them,” Paula Abdul said of the contestants. Speaking of the Top 12, the first half (the six contenders who were voted in over the preceding two weeks) looked on from the sidelines as they, too, waited to hear who would join them in places of Idol honor.
The twelve performers of the week performed an upbeat version of “Hot and Cold,” yet another unrecognizable song performed by the Top 36 over the last three weeks. Despite somewhat lackluster choreography, they delivered what is arguably the best of the three group performances we’ve seen from the 36 semifinalists.

American Idol 8: Third Group Performs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
As the first half of American Idol 8’s Top 12 looked on, a dozen new hopefuls took to the stage to sing out their hearts - and hopefully, to win ours.
During the pre-performance banter, host Ryan Seacrest talked about Simon Cowell’s penchant for picking on contestant song choices. Seacrest asked the judge why he doesn’t simply pick the songs himself. “Well, I will,” Cowell responded. “We’ll have a Simon Cowell week.”
I’m getting a vision of the greatest Idol week ever. But before that happens, we have to get through this last group of Top 36 contenders.
