American Idol Finals, Results – May 24th 2006
Anti-climactically, Taylor Hicks is the 5th American Idol. With the revellation in the last 4 minutes of a much too long 2-hour show, it was even put out pretty much with little fanfare and a sense of haste. The producers have done that for the other male winner, [...]

I’m watching the American Idol finale right now… and I’m realizing how I misnamed both Becky AND Bucky’s family names wrong. I called them both “Carlysle”. It’s Becky Donahoe and Bucky Covington. Sad how I got Becky’s name wrong after finding her so fascinating,
I’m posting just after a duet by Katharine McPhee and Meatloaf. I [...]

That’s right: Finals for this year. Tomorrow we crown the new American Idol, and these posts will be done.
(Well, Canadian Idol starts next week, and I’ll be blogging about it… but many of my readers aren’t here in Canada, so you may not be terribly vested in [...]

American Idol Results Show – May 17, 2006
Well, my imagined finals are 0 for 0… both my picks have now been eliminated!
The voting was all close, to within less than 1% difference — but Elliot Yamin was eliminated… making the finals between Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee.
Now comes the finals. I think that ultimately Taylor [...]

American Idol Performance Show, May 16th 2006
Here we are at the penultimate one, and I have to say the voting will be difficult for you Americans… all three had stellar performances mixed with so-so ones.
My favorite bit of the night came when the judges were down on Katharine McPhee’s first song: they gave her flack [...]

American Idol, Results Show – May 10, 2006
SHOCK. That’s the best way I can sum it up. Tamyra Gray from season 1 level shock.
Chris Daughtry, the guy everyone saw as the frontrunner in the competition, was the person eliminated tonight.
My thoughts of the finals coming down to he and Elliott are now just my imagination.

American Idol, Performance Show of May 9th 2006
Here we go again.
I hope this will be the last year for Elvis week. As I said last year it’s difficult to perform his songs without performing like yet another Elvis impersonator. That’s not really fair to the contestants.
Based on the performances, I think either Taylor [...]

Goodbye Princess P
I goofed and didn’t post yesterday. I just saw the Idol results show though, and came to my keyboard right away this time.
The voting is getting more difficult… ALL the remaining group are very talented. I think now folks are just voting for who blew them away the least.
The bottom two I semi-predicted. [...]
