American Idol - He Went Down In A Blaze of Glory
Posted by Kim on 03 May 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another week, another elimination. First I have to say Bon Jovi week has been the best of this season. Rock music seems to inspire the contestants to take risks and be more creative than usually, which was saw this year AND last year during Queen week. I can only hope this inspires them to come up with more current and entertaining themes next year....how about Female 80s rock week? Or just 80s week would be fine with me!

American Idol 6 - Top 6 Rock Week
Posted by Kim & Tiff on 01 May 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After last week's charity event, 'Idol Gives Back,' where nearly seventy million dollars were raised, the sixth place finisher was not eliminated. So, going into this week, the top six performed again, and tomorrow night the two lowest scorers will face elimination instead of one. Scandalous contestant Antonella Barba, and also Gina Glockson were in the audience.

This week's theme is songs by Bon Jovi, and he served as the mentor.

Tiff:First tonight was Phil with "Blaze of Glory." I think Phil's voice has come a long way since his initial audition. Also, this song was probably a really good one for his voice. I thought the first few notes were a bit iffy, but it got better, especially toward the end. He seems like he's a lot more comfortable on the stage now than he used to be, and he does well with the bigger, longer notes. Randy thought other than country week, this is his best performance on the show. Paula thought it was the best opening to the show they've had all season long. Simon wasn't even that mean, but he didn't think Phil would be around next week.

Kim: I don't think this was one of his top two performances, but it was definitely one of his best. But why is he first when he's NEVER been last, and Melinda has been three times? Wow, talk about blatant favoritism...

Tiff: Second was Jordin singing "Livin' On A Prayer." I'm actually not surprised she chose this song. She has a big voice, and depending on how this song is done, it can work really well with her style. I really so far prefer Lukas Rossi's cover from 'Rockstar: Supernova,' but the more traditional arrangement (as Jordin did it) is good too. Vocally, I thought this was weaker than some of her other performances, but it wasn't horrible but I didn't like it like others she's done. She looked cute, and I loved her hair. The judges weren't big fans of her performance, but they credited her effort to a degree. She was really honest that she struggled with the song, specifically the verses, and that rock isn't her thing. I liked that.

Kim: I like the slowed down version of Livin on A Prayer, but the original was one hot track! It wasn't Jordin's best vocal but it sure was entertaining! Simon was a little bit too harsh saying it was "terrible"; not even.

AI Bon Jovi Week Song Suggestions
Posted by Kim on 29 Apr 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week on American Idol Bon Jovi will be lending the contestants his songs and coaching them as well. I say it's about time we had a cool, rock based theme and not something straight out of the 50's. I've been listening to some of their old tracks this weekend and I had no idea they had so many good tracks! Man, why don't they make music like this anymore? Here's what Tiff and I think the contestants should sing this week:

Tiff's Picks

Blake - "Livin' On A Prayer" / "Bed of Roses"
Phil - "Thank You For Loving Me" / "Who Says You Can't Go Home"
Melinda - "Livin' on a Prayer" / "I Believe"
Chris R. - "It's My Life" / "Runaway"
Jordin - "The Distance" / "Blame it on the Love of Rock 'n Roll"
LaKisha - "Next 100 Years" / "If I Was Your Mother"

Kim's Picks

Blake - Livin' On A Prayer... OR.... If I Was Your Mother
Phil - Who Says You Can't Go Home .....OR... Thank You For Loving Me
Melinda - Bad Medicine
Chris R. - Dead or Alive
Jordin - You Give Love A Bad Name
LaKisha - Always

I think everyone will do fine with this theme, I just have an extremely hard time hearing Chris' voice on any of the tracks!

Jessica Sierra Arrested
Posted by Tiff on 29 Apr 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember Jessica Sierra from 'American Idol' season four? She made the top 10, but was kicked off not long after? After her run on 'Idol' she had problems with a stalker and talked to several magazines about how she'd feared for her life.

Now, the 21 year old has been arrested. Sierra was arrested for felony battery with a deadly weapon after she hit a man with a glass, and, she was charged with possession of cocaine and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility. She supposedly had a small amount of the drug on her when she was searched.

It seems like 'Idol' really doesn't help some people.... I didn't know a glass could be considered a deadly weapon, but that does make sense. Oh, and the man is okay, he had a cut over his eye. I wonder what he said to cause the attack?

ETA: The mug shot...

If that doesn't keep the kids off of drugs, I don't know what will...

I've never heard of this magazine but I LOVE this picture of Katharine. So edgy, and the make up totally works. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos.

Oh yeah, she also got the runner up spot in FHM's Sexiest Women in the World. Well, go her I guess!

Sanjaya In People Magazine
Posted by Kim on 27 Apr 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, they didn't exactly name Sanjaya one of the 50 Most Beautiful People, but he did make the issue! It's awesome that this kid is getting so much attention, he could be the next William Hung if he plays his cards right (get an agent quick!).

Maybe THIS is what's in the future for Sanjaya:
