Opinion: "Idol" Conversation: Adam Lambert

Written by Rich Heldenfels
Yeah, I can see that being a risk. Luckily, my experience on "Idol" was colored with a lot of different styles. Like, I took songs from different genres and did them. So hopefully, people will be ready for an album that is eclectic, and a collection of different sounds.

Written by Richard Lawson
Dear me, Kris Allen. He sang "The Way You Look Tonight" and, sorry y'all, but it had just been good. Perfect song choice to arouse the squealing laydays, perfect suit, perfect sideways triangle mouth anime smile. The criticism was just and slobbery, until Simon did a bit of course correction...

Written by Richard
Yeah. Some songs were contemporary, like Matt Giraud's cover of a Fray song and Anoop's Urrrsher pastiche, but Adam Lambert, Scott Whosie, Lil Rounds, Kris Allen and Megan Joy all sang old ditties. I don't even know what Gokey sang. Who cares, though.

Opinion: American Idol/ Tuesday April 8 | Virginia Breeze

09 Apr 2008 12:33:55 PDT

Written by DAvid
Table of contents for 2/American Idol Andrea and Katherine American Idol / March 25 Review American Idol/ Tuesday April 8 This week’s performances left me wondering who is going to demonstrate on a consistent basis that they have what it takes to be the next American Idol. Jordin was doing it week after week at this stage last year. And so was Melinda for that matter. Michael Johns sang Dream On and once again did a popular version of a song almost as good as the original. I am beginning to wonder if he has any original bones in his body. Please Michael could you add your special flair to a song just one time. You do have something special for us don’t you? Syesha Mercado sang I Believe and made a good choice. The judges liked Fantasia’s version better. We th...

Tuesday, April 1, 2008 American Idol 7 Top 9 Sang Dolly Parton While I'm not too crazy about Dolly Parton's music, it was great to see her on American Idol.

Tuesday's "American Idol" audition episode gave the choice closing slot to a young Irish singer named Carly Smithson. The judges obviously thought she was great before she’d even opened her mouth to sing. Smithson was a shoo-in to the Hollywood round.
