Janell, Ashley, Joe, and Tyler Tell All
The morning after Janell Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, Joe Muoz and Tyler Grady were eliminated from Season 9 of American Idol, they opened up about their American Idol experience on a press call.

Many of the semifinalists experience problems with song choice their first week out, and thats what Janell struggled with too. I think I knew exactly what [the judges] wanted from me...

It Was Verging on Stupid What You Did.
by Mordant Monkey
Here we are, separating the men from the boys, Ryan tells us. “This … is American … Simon, stop talking!” Well, that was one of the weirder ways we’ve started this show.
Two of the guys are wearing purple (!!), two have a hideous scarf around their neck. There’s an overlap between those that makes it that much worse. Ellen rocks, Randy is wearing a Bill Cosby sweater, I can’t even describe what Kara is wearing—shou...

This Isn’t Going Particularly Well for You, Is It?
by Mordant Monkey
Hallelujah. We’re finally—finally!—going to hear some actual singing and see some actual performances. I was starting to wonder if I was trapped in some sort of audition limbo for the past month and a half.
There’s Ryan on the stage, and he walks through the lines of women on one side and men on the other. Most of them are trying to not giggle as Ryan announces that this is, indeed, “American Idol.” Well,...

You Have A Horrible Voice
by Paulette Frank
So it’s the final audition night, and Ryan claims they’ve saved the best for last, so I’m thinking it’s sort of a best-of-the-best show, but I’m skeptical when the first contestant they focus on is “Pants On The Ground Guy”. Yes, yes, it’s a nationwide phenomenon, blah blah blah. There are bluegrass versions, acoustic guitar versions, a capella group versions, and apparently, it’s even made it to congress, or town hall, or som...
