It’s Tuesday which means that along with TVontheDVD we at JoeOnTheTube.com make our guesses as to who’s going home this week on American Idol. Of course last week we saw Lil Rounds finally be shown the door as well as Anoop Desai. Neither were a huge surprise. What was a surprise for most people was that [...]

I don’t know if anyone was truly surprised by who went home last night on American Idol. I think the only real surprise was who wasn’t in the bottom three. In case you haven’t watched it yet, this is where you might want to stop reading. Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai were shown the door last [...]

Now I’ve only been watching American Idol for 3 or 4 seasons now so maybe this isn’t the first time that they have had Disco Night as a theme, but it sure as hell should be the last. Last night we had a great performance, some performances in the middle, and some down right lousy ones. [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m not looking forward to Disco Week. It’s an era in American music that wasn’t short lived enough. As you know the judges used their save card last week to bring Matt Giraud back. So that means this week, two are going home. Who’s it going to be? I for one [...]

I know this is a little late, but I’ve been out of town, so I’m going to go ahead and post it anyway, since I didn’t get to watch the show live and only saw the full episode tonight. Matt Giruad had the low vote total tonight, but he wasn’t sent home. The judges used their [...]

I love the movies of Quentin Tarantino. Pulp Fiction changed the way I watch movies, and Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 rank among some of my favorites; but I was a little surprised when I heard that he was going to be the mentor this week on Idol. First off, he doesn’t sing, and [...]

The rumored theme tonight is songs from movie soundtracks. That is a huge catalog for the contestants to choose from, which as we know isn’t always a good thing. I’m hoping at least one contestant chooses a song from a Muppet’s movie, and that Adam sings something full of teen angst, maybe something from the Twilight [...]

Last night’s American Idol allowed the contestants to pick any song they wanted from the current iTunes catalog. The idea was that it would allow the contestants to pick a song that really suited them and showed who they were as an artist. Well maybe I was wrong about about who’s going home tonight. I predicted [...]

I said yesterday that I really thought Grand Ole Opry Week would be the end of Anoop Desai. Damn was I wrong. Anoop got up the and sang the hell out of some Willie Nelson. I would argue that if he wasn’t the best, he was among the best. The performances were all over the place last [...]

This week on American Idol we see the shift from the songs of the self proclaimed King of Pop to the songs of the members of the Grand Ole Opry. I couldn’t think of a much bigger contrast in styles of music. I actually think it’s a little strange that we are seeing Idol pull out [...]
