Remember American Idol’s Luke Menard?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
He had the right look and a generally good singing voice, but song choice hurt Luke Menard early in the American Idol competition. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe a jarring recollection will: Menard is the one who sang “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” the 80s Wham hit. If he had sung anything different, it’s possible we would all know Luke Menard a whole lot better.
Luke Menard, 29, has been frequently in the audience during the seventh season of Idol, rooting his fellow contestants on from the sidelines. Recently, the former carpet-layer was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer. This sad news is somewhat lightened by one positive: this disease has a very high success rate of treatment. Menard, who is currently in L.A., has plans to return home to Indiana in the near future.

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.

I have been looking forward to 80s week on American Idol with the utmost excitement. Madonna, Cindy Lauper, The Sex Pistols, The Police - the list of great performers from the 80s goes on and on. Instead, the Idol men gave us Wham, Genesis, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, and a whole host of other tunes that added up for another strange song selection night.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial
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: Top 10 Guys Perform
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Features
It’s all about the 70’s this week on American Idol, and upon hearing this wonderful news I was instantly interested. There are many, many fabulous songs from this decade. Last week it was 60’s, now it’s 70’s…okay, I’m sensing a theme. This can only mean the 80’s are to follow, and if this is the case I must make a general plea: please, please, someone do a punk rock song. The 80’s! You can’t deny punk rock. That being said, we’ll get back to the Tuesday night performances. (Though I will say, here and now, that I’m thoroughly disappointed no one picked Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” Tuesday).
