On this third day of the countdown to American Idol 8, here are three of my fave performances from last season (in chronological order). These may not be the typical favorites, like Billie Jean, so I guess I will call it three great overlooked performances from Season 7:
First, David Cook wowed us with his rendition of Lionel Richie’s Hello. I would call this his break out performance.
Next, Brooke White, when she sang Let It Be. Maybe not the best vocal, but such a great and moving performance!
And last but not least, the moment Syesha finally came alive, singing One Rock and Roll Too Many:
So on Day 2 of this countdown, I give you two shiny happy photos of Gina Glocksen’s recent New Year’s Wedding. Jordin and Haley were bridesmaids…they all look so pretty!
This pic though, not so pretty.
Not sure how I feel about the juxtaposition of the red rocker streaks with the barn in the background.
Hi kids! Happy New Year, and happy New Idol! I am crawling out from my hibernation to tell you that American Idol Season 8 (I can’t believe we are already at 8!) begins January 13 meaning there are 12 days until we resume the craziness. Here at IdolReview, because I want to get back into the Idol spirit (and because I have yet to de-Christmas my life) I will be doing the 12 days of Idol, meaning a fun new post with a new gift for you every day until the premiere. Today, the first day of Idol, you get one new masthead (see above). Yay!
TMZ is reporting that Nigel has left the building. Yes, our dear ExecProducer of Idol, Nigel Lythgoe, will no longer be involved with AI. I feel a shark jumping…
So long, Nig. I shall miss complaining to you. [Link]
I know i said I would blog this show. I know. But I’ve been lazy. And really busy. But I have been watching, and was SO SAD to see my fave act voted off last night. I <3 you Pearl <3!
I like Gabe and Melissa, but I am really sick of Shawn - she is so awful! And I want to like Coffey but his vibrato is worse than Carmen Rasmussen (who is knocked up, btw.) But lets talk about who should really be voted off next. Yes, Billy Ray, I’m talking to you. Where is Ryan? Honestly.
