Idol Results for April 26, 2006
I think it showed great integrity for Simon Cowell to apologize to Katherine McPhee on the show!
The end result was what I predicted last night, but it was also an expected result for the person cut, Kelly Pickler. She also showed a lot of class when the result was announced.

American Idol Performance Show – April 25, 2006
First off: Paula Abdul did nothing to quell the theories that she has a drinking problem tonight… she was crying at Elliot’s performance, then stood up to cheer Chris about a half hour later. Such inconsistent behavior is questionable at the least.
It was a really mixed bag, the [...]

Jazz Artist Interview – Chick Corea@ jazzreview.com
Chick Corea is a perennial favorite at the Montreal Jazz Fest. Anything he produces is worthy of study to me, and to many here.

American Idol Results – April 19, 2006
I said the results often surprised me, and Wednesday was no exception!
I was sure Kelly Pickler would get cut tonight, but she was safe. The Bottom Three had two of the best singers in the group, Chris Daughtry and Paris Benet. Fortunately, neither were cut. Instead Ace Young got [...]

American Idol Performance Show – April 18th 2006
We’re down to a very talented 7 right now. Ace is still too nasaly for my tastes, and every week I like Katherine McPhee more. The camera really loves her.
Of the current group, I’m guessing Kelly Pickler will be cut this week. I could still be surprised, but [...]

Out of touch
I read a newspaper article last week about the Burlington Jazz Festival, and realized that I’m out of the loop when it comes to the newer stars of the musical genre… I read the list of several performers — not all of them — and realized that I didn’t know most of them!
It’s [...]

American Idol Results Show – April 12, 2006
I didn’t get to watch the show (the first Passover seder was far more important), so I read the results on the Idol Website:
Buh-bye Bucky.
Regular readers of this site know I’m not a fan of his, and I’ve been surprised he wasn’t Bottom Three-bound many times before… at [...]

American Idol – April 11, 2006
As I expected, coming up with new interpretations of songs given iconic significance by Freddie Mercury was challenging, to say the least.
Based on the performances, I think Ace Young will get voted out this week. His was the least interesting of the performances.
Paris‘ performance to end the show both surprised [...]

American Idol of April 5, 2006: Goodbye Mandiva
The results show has been over for more than an hour now, and I have to echo what Kenny Rogers said: I was heartbroken by the results this week.
I was sure that based on their performances this week either Taylor (who really didn’t sound comfortable in the country [...]
