Some horrible accident befell the stage prior to the show starting, so none of the Idols had a proper run-through beforehand. That's interesting, although I don't think it really affected anything. And in addition to their solo songs, the Final...

The group sing to "School's Out" was just awful. Nobody sounded good, Allison in particular sounded really terrible. Sorry! It's just the truth.
Because we were down to four, they had to stretch this mother even more than usual. So we had three...

BOOOOOOOO! Robbed. That's how you spell Celia from here on out: R-O-B-B-E-D. It's markedly different from S-T-U-P-I-D, Aminat. Don't get me wrong, I never thought Celia could win this entire competition. It would be nearly impossible for her to...

Last night saw the debut of Bravo's "The Fashion Show," the unimaginatively titled replacement for "Project Runway," which has fled the network for Lifetime in one of the stupidest moves in recent memory. Bravo has a lot riding on this show,...

The Final 3 got to sing two songs each, one selected by the judges, one selected by themselves. First up, Paula chose "Dance Little Sister" by Terence Trent D'arby for Danny Gokey. That is the most random song choice ever. The only TTD song I've...

I tuned in a few minutes late, after a trip to the bathroom to spew some bile in response Allison gettting robbed on "Top Model." I caught the tail end of the pimpommercial, a horrific vocal featuring the Final 3 singing "Break My Stride" by...

Teyona couldn't even smile in her CG shot! She looked like she would cut a bitch. Unless they've changed the tagline to "Easy. Breezy. Homicidal." I don't think she's what Cover Girl is looking for.

Hello, Zaftig Bushido: This is a fashion competition. Did you think they were going to provide sewers to you? Why would that even enter your mind?

Finale! Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen! Obligatory montage showing the guys' initial auditions (did we ever see Kris's?) up through their greatest hits from the competition! Camryn Manheim in the audience! Each guy sang three songs: contestant's...

The big finish. In the audience: Kimberly Locke. Joely Fisher. Janice Dickinson with, I think, Anna Nicole Smith's baby daddy. Oh, Janice. Ryan said that 624,000,000 votes were cast over the season, with 100,000,000 last night alone....

We're now three episodes in, and I feel like I'm starting to get a real handle on the competitors. Once again I found both of the challenges this episode to be smart and legitimately useful in the fashion industry, unlike many of the "Project...

YAY! "So You Think You Can Dance" is back! For you "Idol" viewers who dismiss the show, let me offer an analogy: "SYTYCD" is the Prince Harry to "Idol"'s Prince William. At first Will seemed like the dreamy one you wanted to cozy up to, then he...

Auditions, Round 2. This time we visited Miami and Memphis. The themes for the evening appeared to be tap, twins, and quizzical decisions by the judges. Tyce DiOrio was guest judge in Miami, and was a SUPER bitch (I loved it; I think he's a...

We wrapped up our auditions in style, with visits to L.A. (with Hollywood director/Broadway guy Adam Shankman as guest judge) and Seattle (with the indispensable Mia Michaels in the third chair, looking like a hot bitch). L.A. produced a ton of...

First things first: they changed the theme song. Lame; I really liked the original. Maybe they thought it was too heavy? I can see that, but this new one sounds like a watered-down version. It lacks any personality whatsoever. In fashion terms,...
