American Idol – Top 6 – Queen & Their Choice
Once again we’re behind and watching off the dvr. We don’t really watch live tv anymore, it just doesn’t fit into our schedule.
Tonight the kids are singing songs from Queen and a song of their choice. Brian and Roger from Queen take some time to talk with the kids and answer their questions. My Thoughts On Performances Inside…

American Idol – Top 7 (Take 2)
This should be an interesting week with the top 7 singing a current hit and a classic soul song. I’m wondering how Jessica will respond to being the bottom vote getter last week. My preshow thoughts are that Hollie and Elise are the most at risk this week but Jessica and Joshua need to be careful because they obviously aren’t drawing big votes.

American Idol – 80s Week for the Top 8
Tonight the top 8 sing songs from the 80s and based on what I’ve seen of their song choices they are going ballad crazy. It should be interesting to see who stands out and who flubs it big time. We’ll be treated to four duets tonight as well, can’t wait to see who pairs up. [Read more →]

American Idol – Top 10 Perform
Yeah, I know I totally flaked on last week’s reviews. I have them and may try to post them in a little while. Finals week just got to be too much.
They open with shots of Shannon’s elimination and all the kids boo-hooing before the top ten photo. Some of them are really going to have to toughen up or they will all be pulling Brooke’s before the halfway mark.
This week they are singing the songs of Billy Joel and I’m thoroughly prepared to hate it. I grew up listening to these songs and the Idol renditions never quite live up to my expectations.
The kids will be getting style & fashion advice from Tommy Hilfiger, and music & performance advice from Jimmy and Diddy. Reviews Inside…

American Idol – Top 13 Perform
Wow, it’s the first night of the American Idol finals, actually it’s the wee hours of the morning after, and I haven’t blogged about it yet! I have to admit that the pall of last year’s all country teen finale has left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m having a hard time getting revved.
Ryan announced that this is the 400th episode and I have to wonder how many are left. It’s boys against the girls with the boys singing the songs of Stevie Wonder and the girls singing the songs of Whitney Houston. This is sure to be full of train wrecks.
A surprise announcement is that only the bottom boy and bottom girl will be revealed and then the judges will chose who to send home. Seems like Nigel may be trying to slowly shift Idol to the SYTYCD format. Reviews Inside…

SYTYCD – The Top 20
Last night was the coverage of Vegas week where the dancers were cut from 160 to 31! Too much happened to try and write about it all here. Tonight we get our top 20 and a first look at them dancing in their own styles. Nigel tells us that the top 20 will dance together until there are 10 of them, then they will dance with the pros like last year. This kind of gives us the best of both worlds and maybe helps to cut down on the number of injuries.

SYTYCD – Salt Lake, NYC & LA
Just the quickest of run downs on the last 2 SYTYCD shows. This season they have done a great job of focusing on the good dancers instead of the bad/crazy. There were an abundance of contemporary dancers, some hip-hop, some street dancers, an Irish step dancer, sisters, and a girl who did something she called whacking. I’m looking forward to the Las Vegas rounds next week and then on to the live shows.
