11. Mar 2010 Comments 16 comments

Well, tonight was probably the worst set of results on American Idol… ever. Favorite contestants were being ejected and forgotten left and right like minor characters from Lost. And guess what? This was pretty easy to see coming. When there are so many contestants of a similar genre and style there will be casualties. Katelyn [...]

Why did Ryan introduce the contestants like he was a butler announcing guests at a fancy soiree on a southern South Carolina plantation in the 1850s? “Ma’am, I have the pleasure of announcing Miss Delilah’s suitors for the evening. Michael.” “He’s black.” “Hmm… well, it appears I have not done a good job picking out [...]

Well, in about 12 hours we will have 12 butts to fill the uncomfortable, but oh so wanted, top 12 chairs.  Who will fall short?  This week, it was really hard for me to pick which guys will be leaving.  I am actually thinking of splitting the votes for the Joe’s Place Idol Weekly Pool [...]

American Idol Top 16 Week Discussion: What Should the Contestants Sing?

08. Mar 2010 Comments 13 comments

It’s make or break time for these contestants, who’s performance means the finals of American idol, or a quick trip home.  It is all about performance this week, as well as song choice.  What do you all thing the kids should sing?  It is once again, the ever popular Billboard Hot 100 theme: i.e. “Sing [...]

The Top 16 – Who is Safe? Who is in Trouble? Commentary by Matthew Chisling

06. Mar 2010 Comments 16 comments

Another day, another four contestants go home.
After nine seasons of American Idol, few eliminations in the semifinal rounds genuinely surprise me. While momentarily, the eliminations of Michelle Delamor, Haeley Vaugh, John Park and Jermaine Sellers are frustrating, they are hardly unjust. After all, would you rather see Jermaine in the competition than Tim Urban? Jermaine [...]

The NGH Report – Thoughts on American Idol Top 20 Results

04. Mar 2010 Comments 4 comments

John Park said good-bye after a brief run on the Idol stage. This was probably the hardest elimination for me, though I did predict it (NAILED IT!), because John had such potential and it never came to fruition. Honestly, if he had performed on Tuesday the way he had on Thursday he might still be [...]

Whispers were growing louder throughout the week that Idol standout Crystal Bowersox would be disqualified due to medical reasons.

Let’s hope she can make [...]

First of all, let me just say… wow. Even the worst performer tonight was still better than at least 3 of the guys, not to mention I’d put my top 3 above the best guy last night. So much happened tonight, and I feel like the show really started. I feel bad, because I don’t [...]
