    American Idol - Season 9

    I've never liked Black Eyed Peas so can totally relate to Josh's statement. As noted, Stairway was "interesting". Oddly, I got the feel that Orianthi was "too good", so to speak. She was just playing as fast as she could, which she certainly can, but it just overwhelms the genius of Page's...

    Don't get the reference to "42" on the football jerseys, unless it's the Hitchhiker's Guide's "answer to life"?

    American Idol - Season 9

    I seem to recall posts in previous years saying that under-18 contestants would receive counselling before the results show if they were getting booted, and hence they would know in advance whether they were actually going (since they had been counselled about it) or not (either by not being...

    American Idol - Season 9

    I was wondering about that, when Ryan also said that "Idols" have had something like 231 #1s. (I assume an "Idol" is anyone previously in the top 12 of the past 8 seasons, making 96 -- actually 97 because of last season's 13). I didn't think that they've been THAT successful, perhaps Kelly...

    American Idol - Season 9

    I have to agree about the hypocrisy. On the one hand, contestants get slammed for doing the same thing each week, refusing to step out of their comfort zone etc, yet Crystal has done the same kind of thing week after week and keeps getting kudos for "knowing what kind of artist you are/want to...

    American Idol - Season 9

    I don't doubt Orianthi is a good guitar player, from what little I've seen so far (haven't seen This Is It yet), but did anyone else think her singing was, well, weak? It was exactly the same when she performed on the Tonight Show. Perhaps she does better in the studio, but singing live she...

    American Idol - Season 9

    Little dispute with who went home, and the nearly-dumped will almost certainly go next week. I must say I really like Siobhan, she's so quirky that she's really distinctive and stands out, but she sure can belt a note! But at the same time, given that this is AI, she won't win this. Curious...

    American Idol - Season 9

    It was pretty obvious: the whole time he was looking in another direction, and just seemed entirely distracted. Seacrest even ribbed him on it, and Cowell claimed he was looking at his girlfriend. As for the switch, how blatant can the producers' support for Bowersox get? I don't recall any...

    American Idol - Season 9

    "Not so much" is one helluva understatement. Taylor's been dropped by his recording label, at the very least. Oddly, Kris Allen just performed a concert here in Singapore. Bit surprising that he'd bother to come here. Perhaps our teeny-boppers are particularly keen on him? Years ago (back...
