American Idol Season 5

Season 5 of American Idol was, I honestly believe, the last good season of American Idol. There was a lot of strong talent and personalities present in the talent pool. We had our favorites, but we were never sure if they would win because results always could go another way. These were some of my favorite performances. Elliott Yamin "Somebody To Love" I thought Elliott was the most talented contestant and singer the show had. He had the least amount of training, but he continued to deliver such great vocals every week. This is my most favorite performance of Elliott's (during Queen...

American Idol Season 4 Moments

And now we're in Season 4 of American Idol and my favorite moments of this season. I think in Season 4, there were a lot of talented contestants. The pressure was bigger for them because you never know who was gonna come out on top among the stronger performers. Vonzell Solomon "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" This was the song that cemented Vonzell's talent for the entire season, but it was a hard competition. Like I said, there were a lot of strong performers that season. And I think Carrie's edge here was the fact that she had...

My Favorite Idol Moments

Season 9 of American Idol has started again, and now, more than two months later, the Top 10 are performing on stage. On the first week of the finals, the contestants performed songs from The Rolling Stones. Last week, the Top 11 contestants performed Billboard #1 Hits with teen star, Miley Cyrus as a mentor. This week, Usher serves as the contestants' mentor for R&B/soul night. Okay, I have a confession to make. I still watch American Idol, even though it's not really as good as it used to be before. It used to be all about talent before. And...

American Idol

Is it just me, or was the audition round of American Idol just flat this year? The great auditions weren't all that great. The bad auditions weren't as funny as in the past. I don't know if they ran through the very best and the very worst and we're left with something in the middle or if it is just a case of "we've seen it all before". Either way, the show has left me nonplussed so far this season. I go way back with Idol.  Season 1 far back.  Justin and Kelly far back.  It's...

Reality on TV

Reality shows have been played on TV for what seems like forever now. And I don't think they're going away for a long, long time. Reality shows have a contrasting effect on people. People either love them or they hate them. There are some shows that are always interesting and I look forward to watching every season, like Project Runway, The Amazing Race, etc. And then there are reality shows that are just bordering on unnecessary, superficial and plain annoying. These are the shows that make people curse the existence of reality shows because these shows are sometimes headlined by...
