The American Idol Results show for week 10 of Season 7 live performances saw the contestants cut by one more and left us with only 5 hopefuls remaining. The results this week were surprising to almost everyone, but I’m not going to say they were totally unexpected. With only six contestants remaining in the show, there was a better than average chance that this week’s ousted contestant would be an “upset.”
Believe it or not, but we’re already in week ten of American Idol 2008 live performances. After last week’s elimination of Kristy Lee Cook we’re down to only six performers. With only six people left in the competition and one of the top two spots already all but named after David Archuleta the performers didn’t have time to slack off even a little bit. This week’s theme: Andrew Lloyd Webber…?
The American Idol Results show for week 9 of Season 7 live performances saw the contestants cut by one more and left us with only 6 hopefuls remaining.
The results this week didn’t turn out the way I expected them to, but they did turn out the way a lot of people, it seems, were hoping [...]
Week nine of America Idol 2008 live performances brought us the Top 7 contestants and the very noticeable absence of another. Last week’s shocking elimination of Michael Johns was still being felt as the final 7 took the stage to perform Mariah Carey songs. Mariah Carey herself was there this week to act as mentor to the young hopefuls.
The American Idol Results show for week 8 of Season 7 live performances came a day later than usual which must have been an excruciatingly long wait for the Idol hopefuls. The show was postponed for it’s usual spot on Wednesday night because of the Idol Gives Back charity event which was so successful last [...]
Week eight of America Idol 2008 live performances brings us the Top 8 contestants fighting to stay in the game. With pretty much all of the weaker competition now out of the running, the contestants have no choice but to step up their game if they want to stay alive. This week was Inspirational Song week so the Idol hopefuls had plenty of song choices to pick that perfect song for their style. As usual, however, some did better than others.
The American Idol Results show for week 7 of Season 7 live performances chipped away at our Top 10 once more and narrowed the remaining contestants to only 8. As usual, the results show had a minor surprise and a Dolly Parton song will forever spell doom for one unfortunate Idol hopeful.
We’re now in week seven of American Idol 2008 live performances and we’re down to the Top 9 contestants. It’s actually a good time for the show since we’ve seen most of the pretenders get voted off, the show has been cut down to only an hour long, and we have the first of our musical mentors. This week Dolly Parton dropped by to lend her considerable talents to the show.
The American Idol Results show for week 6 of Season 7 live performances knocked the first person out of our Top 10. Being the first out of the Top 10 stinks, of course, because you made the tour only to be the first one gone with absolutely no bragging rights whatsoever. Well, other than over those who didn’t make the tour.
Week six of American Idol 2008 live performances find the top 10 contestants in a neck and neck, week by week race to see who can go the distance. There are definitely some early favorites, but at this stage it’s still anyone’s game. That fact was proven last night when some of the early favorites stumbled while some who have been stumbling turned in some of their best performances.
The American Idol Results show for week 5 of Season 7 live performances concluded the top 11 and gave us our Top 10. The Top 10, of course, are the 10 luckiest Idols of all because they get to go on the Idol tour where they do tons and tons of concerts in a very limited amount of time for what I can only assume is a very small remittance.
Week five of American Idol live performances find the Top 11 contestants trying to up their games to try to stand out among the crowd and make the prestigious Top 10. Unfortunately, more of the eleven sounded like they were just trying to skate by than they were trying to win the whole thing. It wasn’t an impressive display of talent.
The American Idol Results show for week 4 of Season 7 live performances concluded the top 12. On Wednesday night we got our first taste of how the voting public really feels about the remaining contestants (well, the bottom ones anyway) and we said goodbye to one of our top 12.
Week four of American Idol live performances finds the men and women finally combined into one group of twelve - the Top 6 Men and the Top 6 Women. After three weeks of especially strong performances by the men and increasingly strong performances by the women we expected this to be the best Top 12 [...]
American Idol entered week three last night with a vengeance. There are 16 contestants remaining, and last night’s show was the Top 8 Men. How great were the performances last night? They were far above and beyond what the men gave us last week and much closer to what we expect from American Idol 2008. [...]
