http://idolspot.com Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:04:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Only two more hours left, finally! And really, the only thing that interests us about tonight is that it's Simon's last episode of Idol ever. Wish we could say the same for ourselves.Things get underway with a cheesetastic performance of "School's Out" by the top 12, complete with a guest ... http://idolspot.com/?p=146 Finale week. Thank God. Tonight there are three rounds- round one is contestants' favorite from the season, round two is producers' choice, and round three is the coronation song. And Crystal Bowersox won the coin toss and will be performing second.   Lee chooses "The Boxer" as his favorite song of the ... http://idolspot.com/?p=145 Welcome, boys and girls, to the most predictable Idol results show of all time. We predicted the finale at the beginning of the season, and we knew before the show started last night who'd be going home tonight. And in case it wasn't already going to be boring enough, there ... http://idolspot.com/?p=144 Top three week is here, which means there's only one more week to sit through. Oh, and it also means the contestants are each performing twice tonight. They'll be singing a song of their own choosing, and a song chosen by the judges.   Casey James starts the contestants' choice round with ... http://idolspot.com/?p=143 37 million votes last night, and we still expect the results to be completely predictable and anticlimatic. But, oh well- at least there are performances from Daughtry and Bon Jovi to look forward to. Fantasia as well, but we're not so much looking forward to that one.   Speak of the devil, ... http://idolspot.com/?p=142 Tonight, we're actually excited about the show for once. That's due largely in part to the fact that the theme is "Songs From The Movies," which means we might actually hear some songs from this century for the first time all season. Also, the mentor is Jamie Foxx, and he ... http://idolspot.com/?p=141 It's results night again, but before we find out what we actually care to know, we'll have to sit through performances by Harry Connick, Jr. and Lady Gaga. Wait. Lady Gaga? On Sinatra week? Well, that's awkward and inappropriate. Oh well, guess they have to fill that hour somehow.   First, the ... http://idolspot.com/?p=140 Sinatra night. What a great theme idea, since the judges are always crying about how the performances aren't young and current. Note our sarcasm. Also, the mentor is Harry Connick, Jr. We can't think of too many people more annoying than him. And he's also responsible for all the arrangements ... http://idolspot.com/?p=139 Last night, 33 million votes rolled in. Tonight, we learn the results. There will also be performances by Rascal Flatts and Shakira, Sons of Sylvia and Lady Antebellum.   Things get underway with the first Rascal Flatts performance of the evening, "Unstoppable." We like Rascal Flatts, but these vocals are weak. The ... http://idolspot.com/?p=138 In lieu of a generic "country" week, we'll be treated to a bunch of dudes singing Shania Twain. Should be interesting. And, of course, she's also the mentor. Well, at least she isn't Miley Cyrus.   Lee Dewyze opens the show with "You're Still The One." We love this song, but this ... http://idolspot.com/?p=137
