DWTS’ Melissa Rycroft Gets Another Chance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip
Once again, Dancing with the Stars fans proved they love to see a comeback story. But will their votes have been in vain?
Even though a rib injury kept her from performing on Monday, Melissa Rycroft’s supporters rallied to keep her around for another week. This despite no guarantees that she will even be able to dance again.
During last night’s results show, Melissa updated the audience on the status of her hairline fracture. “We’ve started new treatment and we’re kind of optimistic that it will be effective,” she explained.
Since the former Bachelor star was spared elimination, the ax had to come down on another couple. Although they went into the evening with 5 more points than Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough were the ones sent home. But is there a possibility that they could return?
Should Melissa discover that she can’t continue as previously hoped, would the producers bring back the last pairing? Or would that all depend on the timing of her decision? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Anoop Desai on Life After Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
“I am definitely going to pursue a music career,” Anoop Desai announced at the press conference held after his American Idol ousting. “Singing is what I am the happiest doing. It’s what I do the best,” he added. Desai, 22, was attending post-graduate courses in North Carolina before his journey to Hollywood.
Now, he’s not going back. Desai has decided to forgo the rest of his classes to concentrate on his music, which he has some pretty clear ideas about already - “pop and R&B” will be featured on his first album.
In the meantime, Desai - along with the rest of the Top 10 - will be a part of the Idol summer tour.

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.

Did American Idol Spill the Elimination Secrets?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors
This is really interesting. Since the Top 24 Idols were revealed, American Idol has over-promoted its new deal with iTunes to be sure everyone in the world knows how to get these performances for themselves. But on Wednesday, before the Thursday elimination results were revealed, the Idol page on the iTunes Store was mysteriously missing two singers: Robbie Carrico and Jason Yeager.
All contestant performances are supposed to be available through iTunes, but the mistake goes deeper than a simple error. During the Thursday results show, Robbie and Jason just happened to be the two guys who got the boot. The iTunes error was corrected Thursday, but not before the cat was let out of the proverbial bag.
Want to know who’s leaving, but can’t wait for Thursday shows? Apparently, all you’ve got to do is see who gets kicked off the iTunes page.

American Idol Loses Four More
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial
American Idol’s Thursday elimination show started off on a cryptic note, as for some reason Seacrest threw it to Randy Jackson to start off the night. Jackson applauded the songwriting from “yesteryear” (when was that, again, Randy?) and said it’s all about whether or not the contestants can “work it out.” The show then wasted a little time talking about Simon Cowell’s half-Bullwinkle look (he has a habit of placing one hand, splayed, against his temple) before it got on to the business at hand: narrowing the field of contestants.

Ousted American Idols Speak Out
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
They came, they sang, they got kicked out. It’s never easy to be eliminated from American Idol, but being sent home the very first week is the absolute worst. At least, for these early eliminations, the ousted contestants have some company. Recently, the first four to leave the stage shared their thoughts on being booted from the show.

The One Thing American Idol Lacks
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Gossip
There’s something a little malicious in the way American Idol gets rid of its contestants. You got voted off, no one likes you - now get on stage and remind everyone why they hate you just one last time. Already these young singers are standing there with the world collapsing around them - in front of a live audience, no less, on the most popular show on TV - and now they’ve got to sing their final song. And we love -or hate- every moment of it.
Time and again, the Idol voting process has been called into question. It’s obvious the judges and producers of the show have their special favorites - contestants who get more camera time, kinder comments and lots of positive reinforcement even when they sing badly. For favorites, having an off night is no big deal. For those who are meant to be voted off, having an off night is a true death knell. It’s voter influence, and it’s a time-honored tradition that’s been a part of every single Presidential election this country has ever held. So why not do it for reality TV?

First Four Idol Castoffs Fail to Inspire Tears
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Video
Call me cold-hearted, but I did experience an element of delighted, albeit mean-spirited, glee during Thursday night’s American Idol elimination show. With the exception of one contestant, I was singularly pleased with the results. (America, so far you are choosing well.) Again, with the exception of one. But Thursday nights on FOX are less about eliminations and more about shameless self-promotions, as the strange show proved.
First, props to the producers for listening to me. After I pointed out the disgraceful lack of style and fashion sense among the males, some kind stylist got ahold of them all and put them in perfectly matched black suits. Even their white button-ups were identical. This is what I’ve been saying - if the contestants can’t dress themselves, please someone do it for them. Before they take the stage next time, mmkay?
