Almost Famous: The Eliminated American Idols Speak Out
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
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.

American Idol: Top 8 Girls Give it a Go-Go
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial

American Idol‘s Wednesday ladies night started out with the usual nonsensical judge-host banter. Ryan Seacrest asked if Randy Jackson is “too nice” this season, then turned his attention to Paula Abdul. “The 80s was a big year for you,” he said. Guess again, Seacrest. The 80s actually encompassed an entire decade - and if you ask me, it was Madonna (not Abdul) who will for ever be the queen of those ten years. Yet, no one sang Madonna. I’m disappointed, ladies.

American Idol Loses Four More

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.

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.”
