The spaces to fill on American Idol are multiplying.
After one, much ballyhooed season, Ellen DeGeneres announced Thursday that she is leaving the show, citing the demanding schedule and her distaste for “hurting people’s feelings.”

It’s often been said that “American Idol” is really just a popularity contest. Sure, singing and showmanship is important, as is a contestant’s back-story and TV persona, but when it comes to advancing in the competition, many an inferior vocalist have managed to make it well past their expiration date. And [...]

Many of the contestants’ songs have been available to [...]

Just a few months ago, ‘American Idol’ was the country’s most popular television show. It was a juggernaut that most believed couldn’t be matched.

The results of the finale were a little disappointing for me as a viewer. I honestly felt like anybody with a semblance of fair play could tell you that Crystal Bowersox wiped the floor with Lee Dewyze, but, it was America’s choice and they decided to go with the young Dewyze. Quite an upset, in [...]
