This is Not My Year
by Mordant Monkey
Tonight we’re in Dallas, which is, I assume, the home of Kelly Clarkson, as well as Renaldo “I Am Your Brother” Lapuz. So this should be good. Ryan is on the roof (what is it with roofs this season?). And this … is American Idol!
A “herd” of 11,000 hopefuls show up to the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium. And the Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleaders are there. Nice! “This is my favorite day ever at work!” announces Ryan.

Shock filled the Conway, AR 23 year-old Kris Allen as Ryan Seacrest announced the American Idol Season 8 winner. It could not have been more of a surprise. He did manage to thank his fans after insisting that Adam deserved the honor and that he had captured. The night was not without surprises and entertainment. At the top of the list were a Bik...

It's not too often that I repeat a phrase that everybody has known for almost three, count them 1, 2, 3 decades. I find myself doing so now even though I'm no stranger to listening to an ancient relic from radio past as I drive along daydreaming about meaningless crap.

It was okay night. The reasons for which seem to be self-evident even to the thickest of heads. Still need me to itemize them? Okay, for one Quentin Tarantino didn't sing, dance, do anything utterly stupid or even show up. Jennifer Hudson convinced me that I should wa...

Can I Get a Refund?

It was pretty. It wasn't even okay. In short, the Quentin Tarantino hosted version of American Idol left most of us asking for our money back -- So badly that I'm re...

Ryan reminds us that when this group began their journey, the odds of becoming a superstar was 1 in 100,000. But now … on this show, anything is possible because …

There’s a bunch of screaming, and then Ryan introdudes our judges, who come out from behind the curtain, so this is kind of new and weird. Ryan and Simon shake hands weirdly, and Ryan is in his element with his teeth flaring and everyone is screaming and the contestants are ...
