My TV Musings

Monday, September 14, is the date set for the final 10 contestants to compete for the $1million prize plus a contract as a lead act in Vegas. I have a few favorites, one of whom is the gorgeous Drew Stevyns who sang the dark version of Careless Whisper, the best song ever done by [...]

With Carly gone I’m firmly backing David Cook to go all the way, but America doesn’t always get it right!
If you’re as ready for Lauren Holly to leave this show as I am, then you will be glad to know that one of the team will be killed off soon. I’m just worried it’ll [...]

Broadway has always been a euphemism for some lesser status of talent for Simon. He seems to equate it to karaoke and amusement park entertainment.
This week was different because the contestants were mentored by none other than Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer behind such great theatrical shows as Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of [...]

We now have our top 24, and the Irish girl was one of my favorites. Carly Hennessy Smithson has come under fire recently when it was discovered that she had previously signed with MCA and, despite billions of dollars being spent on her career, MCA dropped her due to some of the worst results [...]

I’ve been watching the early shows this season and finding there are many of the singers shown who actually go on to Hollywood. I always thought the early episodes were dedicated to the funny, really bad singers and I was wrong! Some of the best singers are presented and even come with a [...]

A lot of folks were surprised last night but I’m not one of them.  While I really like Melinda a lot, I think she just didn’t make the cut because she’s not going to be a mainstream type of singer like Blake and Jordin will be.  She’s been around longer and knows what she wants [...]

Who would have thought BonJovi week would be one of the best for Melinda and Lakisha? Poor Jordin couldn’t keep it up and Blake certainly made that song his own. And Chris didn’t whine this week, actually pulling off Wanted Dead or Alive, though Chris Daughtry did it better last year. I’m [...]

After last week I’m not sure anymore how any of the finalists is faring as far as votes. We might assume that Chris and Jordin were the bottom 2, but were they? The way it was handled last week left me worried about Jordin. I would prefer her even to Melinda at this point because [...]

I have to say Woo Hoo, America finally got it right kicking out Sanjaya! Not too surprised Lakisha is in the bottom 3, but BLAKE? What? Chris needs to go before Blake. And Jordan and Melinda are fighting it out to the end!
But, I digress…This Tuesday and Wednesday, American Idol Gives [...]

…in fact there was a time in the middle of his song when he actually had some strong notes, unlike most of his weak singing I’ve grown accustomed to. And the others were singing so much Miami Sound Machine music that I was longing for Gloria Estefan to come out and belt one out! [...]
