Between the phone records, the answering machine message, the corroboration of the parents, the photos of them together, the detailed knowledge of of Abdul's home and habits, I have very little doubt that SOMETHING interpersonal occurred between American Idol contestant...

American Idol (Week 8): SCOTT BOUNCED
It's the American Idol results show and first thing that happens: Anthony appears with an "I'm so dead" look on his face. And we're thinking, yeah, you are so dead. Then Ryan, wearing a hideous Reynolds Wrap tie and a honeydew-hued pseudo...

American Idol--Scott Savol is Banished
It took weeks. Weeks upon weeks. Weeks had sex with weeks and created....more weeks. It felt like prison. Scott Savol could not get kicked off the show. It seemed like a cruel joke. The joke has mercifully ended. Scott was...

American Idol: The Show Does Indeed Go On
For a long week now, the Premature Departure of Constantine Maroulis had cast a long shadow over tonight's American Idol show. I imagined that, instead of snuggling up in the overstuffed with that bright "how lovely, dinner with friends!" feeling,...

American Idol: Singin' in the Rain (of Troubles)

    What is going on with America...are they all tone deaf? Someone with star quality is voted out and Anthony and Scott are still continuing. I don't think I will ever watch American Idol again...it gets more ridiculous every year. The judging should be left up to professionals who really know music and what it is all about.

    I agree with your sentiments ladies, but remember that surprise and outrage are part of what make the show go

    It's more about the 'brand' and merchandising opportunities than music per se! A shameful pleasure.

    How darn you people of America elimate Arwar so soon. He is amazing and has a unique voice. He should of been in the top two. If I lived in America he would of got my vote.

    The past winners in order are:
    Kelly Clarkson 2002
    Ruben Studdard 2003
    Fantasia 2004
    now Carrie Underwood (whom shouldn't of win)

    And I only agreed with Ruben Studdard, at least with Ruben as winner I hear more about my fav. Clay Aiken.

    Season 5 is certainly shaping up to be a worth while watch.

    I am not much of a fan of the audition round: too much emphasis on tragically deluded fools who suck out loud
