Posted on 14. Jan, 2010 by fondue in Comedy, Entertainment, Video
They should call the first few weeks of American Idol “American Idiot,” since most of us are watching to see the crazy, awful singers that show up thinking they are bound for stardom. Yes, it’s a little sad, but oh so entertaining.
The high point of Wednesday’s show was the very last audition, featuring 62-year-old “General” [...]

Posted on 17. Dec, 2009 by Chuck Rocker in Entertainment, News, Video
Ok ok, I’ve been putting off writing about this kid for long enough. The American Idol star has proven he deserves to be in the spotlight and I’ll be damned if he’s going anywhere. Let’s face it…the guy is a star. He is the complete package…glit, glam and attitude (oh, and did [...]

Clay Aiken ripped this season of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert on his website; saying Lambert singing Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” was “contrived, awful and slightly frightening.” Aiken also said he thinks the series favored Lambert and has focused on “slick productions and polished contestants” instead of raw talent.

After one hundred million votes, the new American Idol is Kris Allen.
