Not only does this diva have the distinction of being the very first American Idol winner, she's also been far more successful than any of her successors so far. With her powerhouse vocals and down-to-earth cha... read more
  • Episode Recap: Top 10 Guys | American Idol | 2/27/2008
    Ah, the '70s. Like the judges, I love this era of music (and I was glad no one was tempted to sing disco). This is going to sound crazy, but I think I actually agreed... with... Paula most, of all the judges tonight. She was, dare I say it, sane, wise and insightful. Simon, meanwhile, went on the record Tuesday afternoon — even before last night's show — to tout David Archuleta as the one to beat this season. (You can read the full news story in our Great American Idol blog.) Young David's take on "Imagine" perhaps only cemented that opinion. But more on that in a bit.All in all, this was a more successful performance night than the boys had last week, and there were a few standouts. But there are still more than two of these fellas who should definitely get the ax before American Idol heads to the big stage and the eliminations get harder and harder.As for the performances...Michael Johns, "Go Your Own Way": I'm trying to figure out what it is about Michael; I really... read more
  • Episode Recap: Omaha Auditions | American Idol | 1/30/2008
    Amid all the cornfields and comforting Midwestern vistas, who knew Nebraska would be a hotbed for some of the freakiest freaks we've seen on American Idol yet this year? And I don't mean necessarily the freaks with costumes and gimmicks — though there were a few of those, as well — I'm talking bona fide weirdos, folks who are just plain odd. Like Sarah Whitaker, the goth former pro wrestler with the creepy laugh who sang something akin to Tiny Tim's version of "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight" — only her voice was even more twangy than a ukulele. Or how about Johnny Escamilla, who said, "Pretty much I'm one of the weirdest guys you'd ever meet," then proceeded to sing and sort of flop around to "Shout" while Paula hiccupped and looked a little, shall we say, out of it?Maybe the best reaction of the night came, oddly enough, from another reject, namely super-Kelly Clarkson fan Chris Bernheisel, whose lackluster "Since You've Been Gone" really was... read more
  • American Idol's Top 10 High Notes | The Great American Idol Blog | 1/17/2008
    I have never seen any show transcend the boundaries of age, race, religion, weight and politics as beautifully as American Idol has in the past six years. I can discuss it with my husband's 70-year-old uncle (who thinks Sanjaya should be shot), my cabdriver (who cries when he hears Kat McPhee), my gynecologist (who thinks Paula's hysterical... in a bad way), and my 6- and 4-year-old cousins, who think the sun rises and sets with Simon Cowell. That's right, you heard me, they like Simon (not to mention all the cute boys on the show). So I asked some of my peeps what they thought were some of the best moments from American Idol, and this is what we came up with. — Erin FoxKelly Clarkson, "Stuff Like That There" | Watch on YouTubeThis was not only the moment I knew Kelly would win the first Idol title, it was the moment I knew she could literally sing anything.Fantasia Barrino, "Summertime" | Watch on YouTube I don't think there was a dry eye in America after this stunning,... read more
  • Spice Girl, Idol Dressed Down by Mr. Blackwell | Today's News: Our Take | 1/9/2008
    Victoria Beckham — aka the Spice Girl whose calling card ostensibly is her façionable-ness — this year "tops" Mr. Blackwell's list of worst-dressed women. As the king of sartorial snark puts it, "In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty [Beckham] can really wreck 'em." Rounding out the top five are Amy "I Am Not Janice from Friends" Winehouse (whose look is described as a "'50s car-hop horror"), Mary-Kate Olsen ("a tattered toothpick in a hurricane"), Fergie and Kelly Clarkson ("Her... voice soars above the rest, but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best"). Slots 5 through 10 go to Eva Green, Avril, Jessica Simpson, LaLo and Alison Arngrim (finally, Nellie Olsen gets hers!). See 'em all in our new photo gallery!Britney was saved from derision, says Mr. B, because "her personal life is in such upheaval." In other words: free pass for flashing her... hoodies!Among those earning a thumbs-up from Blackwell: Reese, Beyoncé, Angelina, Nicole, Katie... read more
  • Avril, Kelly Clarkson Targeted By SNL Music CD | Today's News: Our Take | 9/6/2007
    The first CD of Saturday Night Live performances in nearly 10 years will be sold exclusively at Target beginning Sunday, says Reuters. Live from SNL! features 11 tracks from the past four seasons, including tune croons by Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5 and the Foo Fighters. (What is "foo," by the way? Always wondered.) Anyone looking for Ashlee Simpson's "live" performance need simply cue up any of her prerecorded CDs.Plans are being made for a separate compilation of R&B/hip-hop SNL performances, as well as a DVD counterpart. read more
