A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Thursday, February 25, 2010. First Cuts: Idol Says Goodbye to Four. Tonight's results were a bit shocking for me! It was far too early for her to depart, I can't even say much more than that. I almost wonder if her 11 on the Gorgeous Scale of 1 to 10. Worked against her.but thankfully, she handled the ouster with great grace and class. Shout out to you, Janell! Allison Ireheta was a Season 8 favorite of mine and I was thrilled to see her tak...

All Things Idol: April 2010

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. The bigger news was that Casey was served! I was expecting either Mike or Aaron to be sitting next to Siobahn on the Bottom Stools of Dread.I still think Casey will make a better model than a singer anyway :). Similarly, I thought Sons of Sylvie and Lady Antebellum were great although if it was supposed to be country night, why in the ever-loving heck was Shakira there? Looked beautiful but hmmm.connection? Shania ...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. LA (AKA Least Appealing) Auditions. The second type of Idol watcher is the opposite.hates the audition episodes because they find it unacceptable to, essentially, make fun of people. This watcher skips the first few weeks entirely and only tunes in when/after the Top 12 (or so) are chosen. Again, I know.hard to believe that anyone could skip an episode of Idol! Which type are you? Poll is to the left. Kara's "110% ...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Guy Next Door is Season 8's Winner. Unbelievable.I couldn't have predicted it. Understated underdog and dark horse Kris Allen is your new American Idol. I could see the shock on Simon Cowell's face (or was that a smug grin because he underhandedly orchestrated it yet again in a classic case of reverse psychology.see how jaded I am? Kris's duet with Keith Urban. How brilliant of a pairing! Love that she did it on a da...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Elimination Drama in the Idoldome. Can I just say, Danny and Allison both seemed genuinely shocked to learn they were safe (well, Allison did). I liked how the judges were asked to comment on the B3 and Simon remembered to say, let's give props to the two who are through. Nice. I love these two and am looking forward to hearing them next week! I go for that! Predicable (still) elimination for Matt and likely speed-...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Monday, December 29, 2008. Season 7: Where Are They Now? As we enter the final stretch of 2008, and are just 13 days from Season 8 of American Idol, I found myself wondering what the Top 10 finalists from AI7 are up to these days. We certainly hear more from some than others, but I. Blog/website links where I've been able to find them, and would encourage you to use those to keep tabs on your favorites from Season 7! As part of the. Left the...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Lee Vs. Crystal: Who is your Next American Idol? Not so sure. Are Big Mike or Siobahn the next Daughtry or Jennifer Hudson that will surprise us in 6 or 12 month's time? I don't think so.but I love surprises :). I will rank tonight's performances in order of my favorite to least favorite.but before I do that, I have to give props to Ellen! Which I had noticed myself. Finally, she told Crystal that if she makes a re...

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Final Auditions in PR and NY. The promos leading up to tonight's auditions featuring the "twin" cities of San Juan, Puerto. It was nothing. The hotel/place at which they were holding auditions had some sort of sunscreen mounted up against the windows so that Paula didn't get too pruned, and at one point those screens very dramatically collapsed (putting no one at risk). Whatever. I had read earlier news pieces.

A Minivan-Driving Mom of Three Muses on American Idol and Life. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Top Three: Hallelujah Lee! Wow, tonight's show was a real fight to the finish IMO.I enjoyed each performance and can't wait for more hometown footage tomorrow and the announcement of our finale performers! I know you're shocked, but my favorite tonight was Lee, my hometown boy! And I loved to see him smile. Simon says he crushed it.I agree! And I also think it's a bit contradictory to call out the contestants for choos...
