American Idol Recap: The Final Moments of Season Eight
This season of American Idol started with a girl in a bikini and ended with a bona fide surprise ending. So in some ways, Wednesday's two-hour finale — which packed in performances from Cyndi Lauper, KISS, Queen, the Black Eyed Peas, and all of the year's top 13 — was the perfect culmination.
You're already telling me what you think of the winner, but what did you make of Wednesday's blowout finale?
American Idol Rundown: The Final Showdown
Tuesday's final American Idol performance show was, as Ryan Seacrest said, "the acoustic rocker vs. the glam rocker, Conway vs. California, the guy next door vs.
American Idol Rundown: The Top Three State Their Case
Remember when the night of the final three on American Idol used to have three songs per contestant? When the producers got to pick a song for the contestants in addition to the judges' and singers' picks? When the top priority in this competition was, y'know, singing?
American Idol Rundown: The Top Four Rock Out
So, here's my question: Is it fair to have duets on the performance edition of American Idol? It's a competition that's judged on individual singing, we vote for each contestant separately, and it's often hard to tell which person in a duet is better than the other — so what's the point?
If the point is to be entertaining, then I'd say the duets on Tuesday's Idol show actually worked.
American Idol Rundown: The Top Five Sing the Standards
Can every night be snappy suit night on American Idol? Tuesday's Rat Pack theme was a solid excuse to drag out the skinny ties, fedoras, and — in one case (and I bet you can guess which) — shiny dinner jackets. Even Allison's stylists calmed down and helped her look all cute and vintage.
American Idol Rundown: The Top Seven Do Disco
Well, I've got to give credit to American Idol. This week, the producers managed to get the show in mostly on time with all the judges speaking. This shouldn't be tough for America's most-watched show in its eighth year on the air, but hey, my standards have been lowered.
American Idol Rundown: Seven Cinematic Songs
OK, I'm officially annoyed with American Idol. After last week's Lambert-eliminating overtime debacle, the producers decided that this week, to get the show in on time, they'd only let two of the four judges talk for any performance. Then, about five or six performances in, they started to run late and cut even those comments down to single sentences — and the show (not the performances, just Lil and Simon's bickering and the recap) still ran into Fringe.
American Idol Elimination: Seven Is Heaven
This week on American Idol, we said goodbye to a person who made it pretty darn far — but who would have pulled off an upset by lasting even a week longer. I'm pretty satisfied with these Idol results, and I'm guessing a bunch of you will be, too. Ready to chat about it?
American Idol Rundown: The Top Eight Go '80s (and '92)
Songs From Your Birth Year night on American Idol this year basically boiled down to '80s night, with the bulk of the contestants taking on songs from the middle part of the decade. There were some power ballads, some soulful rocking-out, and one performance that made me think Idol should just name its winner right now and spare us the next seven weeks.
I always get a kick out of this night for all the baby pictures and stories about the contestants as kids.
American Idol Elimination: We've Got Eight
So, American Idol has said farewell to another singer. At the top of Wednesday's elimination show, the judges each hinted that they were mostly disappointed by this week's performances. Randy said it's funny how many singers chose older songs given the large contemporary songbook at their disposal.
