Idol Stalker - Watching American Idol |
| Heading to the American Idol Experience! Posted: 10 Feb 2009 10:45 PM PST I will be in Orlando, Florida for the next three days attending the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Many of the former contestants, as well as host, Ryan Seacrest, will be there! I'm so excited and I'm hoping to have a lot of pictures, video and stories to tell you when I get back! In the meantime, watch a video about the new attraction! image used with permission Tags: american idol disney, american idol experience, disney hollywood studios |
| American Idol 8 Hollywood Week – Day 4 Posted: 10 Feb 2009 10:32 PM PST We saw the fourth day of Hollywood Week tonight on American Idol and, except for a couple things, I wasn't really surprised. What did you think? I had a good laugh when Tatiana Del Toro, one of the most emotional contestants I've ever seen on the show (okay, she's THE most emotional and high-strung person I've seen make it this far on the show) was taken from one room and moved to another – when she got to the new room, those people got A LOT more nervous since her behavior makes it hard to tell if the judges like her or not. Of the groups, only those in Room 3 were eliminated and they included Michael Castro, India Morrison, Kaylan Lloyd, Leneshe Young, Lacey Brown and Ryan Johnson. I have to admit that I was surprised to see Leneshe eliminated. I thought her rendition of Sara Bareille's "Love Song" was actually quite good. Too bad. I was glad to see a few of my favorites stick around most notably Anoop Desai (who sang "My Prerogative" which seems like an odd song choice), Lil Rounds ("If I Ain't Got You") and Michael Sarver (although, his performance of "All or Nothing" was a bit weak). I hope they make it to the finals! Who were your favorites of the night? images © 2009 FOX BROADCASTING CR: FOX Tags: american idol 8, anoop desai, anoop dogg, hollywood week, michael sarver, Tatiana Del Toro |
| Kanye West Talks to Ryan Seacrest About Attack on Rihanna Posted: 10 Feb 2009 03:33 PM PST Kanye West was on Ryan Seacrest's radio talk show where he spoke briefly As was reported by Rihanna Buff, Kanye heard the sad news just as he was about to take the stage at the Grammy Awards: "I was doing American boy, I was completely devastated doing the performance… I don't want to speak more into specifics, with that situation but all I am going to say is that it's just so devastating …I feel like just as a person…That should never happen, it should never come to that place." I'm not surprised that he had something to say – not only is Kanye very outspoken but he is also very close to Rihanna. I'm waiting to hear what Jay-Z has got to say about this, to be honest. Kanye and Jay-Z are like her big brothers so I hope Jay speaks out on this tragedy soon. Listen to what he had to say on Ryan's show: Tags: chris brown, kanye west, kanye west rihanna, kanye west ryan seacrest, rihanna assaulted, rihanna attacked |
| Carrie Underwood’s Valentine’s Day Plans Posted: 10 Feb 2009 09:47 AM PST Looking for juicy gossip about what American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, will be doing on Valentine's Day? Will she spend a romantic evening with her rumored boyfried, NHL hockey player, Mike Fisher? What about a relaxing day at the spa?
 If you guessed any of those things you would be wrong. The award-winning country music star told Us magazine that she will be on a plane (maybe flying home after attending the invitation-only grand opening of the American Idol Experience?). I hope she, at least, gets to kiss more than those Grammy Awards she keeps winning! Tags: carrie underwood pictures, carrie underwood valentine's day |
| Jennifer Hudson to Tour With Robin Thicke Posted: 10 Feb 2009 08:23 AM PST Jennifer Hudson's return to the spotlight is definitely right on track. It's "I am so grateful – my first Grammy and my first tour. It doesn’t get better than that," Hudson told People magazine. I wish they were stopping somewhere near me – this pairing is like a dream come true to me. Of course, I love Jennifer but I also completely adore Robin Thicke! Have you ever heard his album Something Else? It's really, really good. image: Bauer-Griffin Tags: jennifer hudson tour, robin thicke, robin thicke tour, tour dates |

With 72 contestants competing to be among this year's finalists, it was good to see some people taking risks. The Idol hopefuls were allowed to use instruments during their performance (most didn't). As usual, the performers were split into four rooms after another day of auditions and, of course, you could see how nervous they all were.
