Curtis Finch, Jr. was available on a conference call last Friday afternoon. Following are his comments. Maybe it was his personality rather than his vocal ability that left him as the first of the Top 10 to be eliminated. You can decide for yourself... What kind of album do you [...]

A few days ago on The View, Whoopi Goldberg said of the American Idol judges, “They all must be deaf this season.” She might be right. The Top 10 they retained were hardly a Top 10. As stated yesterday, only two - Kree Johnson and Candice Glover, Jr. – deserve [...]

If American Idol execs could exhibit common sense right now they would simply cut to the chase and put Kree Harrison and Candice Glover in the finals. It’s fairly obvious after the first round of the Top 10 Wednesday night that they are the only two worthy of the crown [...]

This week’s twin shows have the possibility of being two of the most entertaining in recent memory. First, for better or worse we get to hear the Top 10 finialists sing the songs of other past American Idols. Believe it or not there will be some decent tunes for them [...]

“This is American ….Ridiculous.” That’s how Ryan Seacrest should have opened Thursday night’s results show which revealed to us the Top 10 most talented (?) amateur singers in the country.

Unless I am missing something, I still don’t think we know which way this voting procedure in going. The logical move is to let the Top 10 boys perform on Wednesday night like the girls did on Tuesday and then take the Top 10 overall vote-getters to be the finalists [...]

Idol notes from V (Vegas) to Z (Zoanette)…. - We will go backward on this starting with Zoanette Johnson. At the moment her selection as one of the Top 10 female contestants is a travesty. She is no more or less talented than any of the other past “joke” contestants [...]

If it looks bogus and seems bogus then it probably will be bogus in some fashion. So it is with American Idol’s latest voting concoction. It is called the “SuperVote” and will be available via americanidol.com or the American Idol mobile app or Facebook. Anyone using any of those arenas [...]

  Here is the good news/bad news from Thursday night’s American Idol finale of a quartet of shows that resulted in 20 finalists – most of whom have no business being on the list. First, the bad news … they sliced five more male contestants and kept five. Of the [...]
