Syesha Mercado Hit Me Up - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I wish the producers went out on a limb with this song and selected Start Me Up instead of Hit Me Up. I think Syesha would have been able to rock some Mick Jagger. Video of Syesha Mercado singing Hit Me Up:

Syesha Mercado Fever - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Syesha chose the Peggy Lee classic Fever for her choice in song tonight. She did a pretty good job with the song. It was a fun performance, but not really a memorable one. Unfortunately for Syesha, she could have sung the best version ever of this song (and her other ...

Syesha Mercado If I Ain’t Got You - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I'm not sure what Randy was thinking picking this song for Syesha. All season she has been picking songs that are bigger than her voice. This was no exception. Alicia Keys has such a big voice and brings so much to the song that in comparison Syesha's performance seemed weak. ...

David Cook I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I like that David Cook took this well-known Aerosmith song and was able to mix it up and make it his own. Everybody knows this song. Even if you've never (and lucky for you) seen Armageddon I guarantee you know this song. Yet David Cook's version stands out on its ...

David Cook Dare You to Move - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

David Cook choosing this song was no shock...at all. Switchfoot's vocals are pretty much just like David Cook's vocals. The performance wasn't spectacular, and to be honest, he had some much better performances earlier on in the season. I would have much rather seen him add his own (or someone's ...

David Archuleta With You - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Maybe David needs his stage dad. I'm sure Jeff Archuleta wouldn't have let this one slide. I don't think David Archuleta is meant to sing this type of R&B-pop. Maybe he could have saved the performance with some Chris Brown dance moves - then again... I loved Simon's quote "It's like ...

David Archuleta And So It Goes - American Idol

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

This was one of the most boring performances of the night. What was Paula thinking? Wait a minute...she's Paula...what am I thinking asking? I know there are a lot of people out there that love David Archuleta. I'm just not one of them. I think most of his performances are boring ...

Jason Castro On Jay Leno

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Incase you missed, Jason Castro was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno the other night. With the help of Huey Lewis (but not the News), Jason explained his experience on American Idol to Leno. Here's video of Jason Castro (with Huey Lewis) on the Tonight Show:

David Archuleta’s Dad Banned From Idol!

Friday, May 9th, 2008

TMZ is reporting that David Archuleta's dad has been banned from American Idol. Is this a surprise to anyone? It seems that Jeff (David's dad) has been, according to TMZ, a "pain in the ass." Not only has he been messing around with the entire production, but he's been messing ...

Idol Reject Arrested

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Colin Leahy, that creepy dude who considered himself similar to Clay Aiken, was arrested for two counts of child endangerment. While volunteering at a Brooklyn elementary school the 23-year-old was caught sending improper text message to a 12-year-old boy and propositioning a ten-year-old boy. What a creep...
