    Idol's Louisville Auditions Provide Viewers With Job Ideas

    So, last night, American Idol took its tone-deaf dog-and-pony show to Louisville, Kentucky. But, really, does it matter where we were? Louisville was the same as Phoenix, which was the same as San Francisco, which we all know is going to be just like Tuesday's show in Jacksonville. There's the ho ... More >>

    'Idol' Hollywood Week 2: The Return of Kai Kalama

    Paula's necklace scares the bejesus out of us.So before we delve into Tuesday night's episode of Idol, I need to pose one very pressing question: What the eff was Paula wearing around her neck?! Abdul has worked some pretty funky neckwear over the span of Idol, but this particular piece of hardware ...

    Reality Show Results Episodes: The 11th Plague

    So after sitting through two hours of complete pap Tuesday night as American Idol's first group of 12 attempted to stay on key long enough to get halfway-decent remarks from the judges, you'd think we'd deserve a break, right? In the Land of the Sea-douche, however, there is no rest for the weary, a ... More >>

    Scottsdale's Scott MacIntyre Blindingly Good On 'Idol'

    So, it'd be easy to reduce blind singer Scott MacIntyre to a series of puns about his visual impairment (read: the title of his post). Lots of other bloggers refer to him as Blind Guy, and he's actually got a good sense of self-deprication about the whole thing, so we don't think he would really min ... More >>

    Scott MacIntyre Does an Awesome Chair Dance, Makes 'Idol's' Top 12

    There was never really too much doubt that Scottsdale's Scott MacIntyre would make the Idol Top 12, but last night "America" (as Seadouche condescendingly refers to the tiny percentage of the American population that actually watches the show) made it official. Scotty the Body (as Seadouche condesce ... More >>

    American Idol Top 13: Battle of the Crying Young Mothers

    CAW CAW to you too, Megan Corkery.

    Caw Caw: Megan Joy Flies the Coop on 'Idol'

    Oh Megan "Joy" Corkery. We hardly knew ye. Wait, scratch that--we actually knew ye really well, and that was the problem. A crazy-ass, cawing milk-it-for-all-it's-worth single mom whose voice went from interesting to nails on chalkboard within a matter of weeks. Even you, with the exaggerated faces ... More >>

    'Idol' Keeps it Classy With Rat Pack Week

    Think she's got one more week left in her?So before we review last night's episode, can we please discuss the guest judges or the celebrity mentors or whatever they're calling them this season?

    Time to say goodbye, Giraud.During his tenure on American Idol, Matt Giraud was like the Little Dueling Piano Player Who Could: Snubbed by the voting public in the Top 36, the judges made him one of their "judges choice" picks for the Top 13.
