  • Video Q&A: Amanda Overmyer Happy to Be Out | Great American Idol Blog | 3/27/2008
    Amanda Overmyer dropped by TV Guide shortly after her exit to sit down with our Idol blogger/enthusiast, Erin Fox.

  • Amanda Not Rocked by Exit: "I Had a Different Agenda" | Great American Idol Blog | 3/21/2008
    If you're looking for Amanda Overmyer to sing a sad song over her elimination from American Idol, get in line with the patient bunch waiting for the gal to serve up a power ballad. Speaking to reporters the day after her dismissal, Amanda acknowledged that Idol "benefits anybody with any kind of distinction because it gives us that platform to start from and get... the biggest exposure we could ever get." But when it comes to making a legit run for the crown, "You have to look at the demographics of the voters and the people watching American Idol versus the demographics of your particular genre. I know that I target an older audience and a different audience maybe than American Idol provides." Still, Amanda was thrilled to see the support she got from those who did stand by her. "With someone like me, who is completely different [and] cut out of a different mold from everyone else in the competition, I found that very warming," she said. So, why didn't the rocker nurse zig when... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • The Top 10 Revealed! | TV Show Recaps | 3/20/2008
    Hey guys! Erin Fox here again. First off, I still have no news about Nina and her baby... which means she's dealing with some seriously long labor! I thought for sure she'd have him last night, but alas, Baby Boy Hammerling-Smith is a stubborn little guy. Send lots of positive thoughts her way! Secondly, I know all about Chikezie-gate 2008. I swear he was not left out intentionally, it was just computer error… as in my computer kept crashing and I had to keep re-entering my recap (it was not a fun time at my house late last night!). Poor Chikezie was temporarily dissed, but I made sure to add him back as soon as I could.Now, I have to admit something: I hate the elimination shows. I never watch them. I just can't stand the cheesy group numbers and bad product placement videos. But, let's hope they prove me wrong, and I'm thoroughly entertained. We start with Ryan making a pretty huge announcement: The four mentors this year include, Dolly Parton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Neil... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Jeers: Amanda Overmyer — Make It Stop! | Cheers & Jeers | 3/19/2008
    Jeers to Amanda Overmyer for another overbearing performance on American Idol. The shouter with the two-tone hair steamrolled the Beatles' "Back in the USSR" (oh-so-cleverly changing the lyrics to "the Ukraine boys" and "Moscow guys"). What was Paula Abdul thinking — or drinking — when she called the painfully derivative Overmyer "quintessential and authentic"? Has she never heard Janis Joplin? I have, and I didn't like the original either. Simon Cowell's not known for understatement, but he was too kind (imagine that!) when he said Amanda's "actually in danger of becoming a bit boring." All I can say is: Don't wake me when it's Overmyer. read more be the first to leave a comment
  • The Top 11 Perform | TV Show Recaps | 3/19/2008
    Big news, everyone! Nina is at the hospital this very moment giving birth to Baby Boy Hammerling-Smith! It seems fitting that she'd have her baby on an American Idol night. I'm Erin Fox, and I'll be filling in for the fabulous Nina until she returns from maternity leave.... I know how much you all love her, and I'll try my best to do her proud. The night starts with Ryan asking the judges about what they expect this week from the contestants. Paula actually has a cohesive opinion, without stumbling or using colors to describe how she feels. Way to go, girl! She's very sparkly tonight, too. Then Ryan points out that a fan has a sign that says, "Simon Is Sexy." Like he needs any more encouragement to be full of himself!Ryan transitions into a taped piece that explains to America how important the Beatles are to our musical history. I really hope this is supposed to be geared toward 8-year-olds, because it's almost insultingly simple. It's the freakin' Beatles! You'd have to live... read more be the first to leave a comment
