The Top 24 Contestants of the Farewell Season of American Idol have officially been named and for the most part, I was in total agreement with their decisions (although honestly at this point we’ve only been exposed to what they want us to be exposed to – you know?). There are some contestants that still seem a little too green to me for this competition, … Continue reading Idol Thoughts: Hollywood Week & The Top 24
I’ve been blogging on and off about American Idol for several years now, telling you guys who I loved and who I hated and it’s been fun to look back and see who I rooted for early on and who took my by surprise near the end.

Here’s your cheat sheet to this week’s American Idol performances by the Top 8 guys and the Top 8 girls. There were a few disappointments for me this week as I knew there would be. We had to say goodbye to Trevor, Savion, Shi and Shannon. 😦 But a lot of my favorites are still in the competition. My favorite performances by the guys this week … Continue reading Idol Thoughts: The Top 16
