Let me just put it out there – I love American Idol. I love watching the kids come in, hearts on sleeves, nervous, hoping against hope they will get their “golden ticket to Hollywood”. I love watching their families and friends so anxious to see them do well. I don’t, however, enjoy the delusional truly […]
I’ve already talked about my immigration to NBC’s The Voice from FOX’s American Idol, but I’m still watching the latter and as The Voice moves out of those awesome auditions and into a format far more similar to Idol‘s Top 10/11/12/13 format, the competition between the two is getting at least a little bit closer. […]
(see Part I- “Abandoning Idol…“)… which brings me to the show that’s very quickly replacing American Idol in the ratings and has long since replaced it in the minds and hearts of discerning, modern audiences. The Voice. The high-concept competition was a risk for NBC and the format, though a good one, could have done […]
Let me start this article by saying that I used to be the biggest American Idol fan around. I’ve always loved Kelly Clarkson (and always will, more on that in Part II of this article, entitled “… for The Voice”, because I’m abandoning American Idol for The Voice). I literally yelled when Clay Aiken lost […]
*The following is a joint article with My Music. Go check out the original posting on our newest branch* Last week Project Runway played host to Saskatchewan- based rock band The Sheepdogs. The winners of Rolling Stone’s “Choose the Cover” competition, the guys became the first unsigned band to grace the cover of the famous […]
If there’s one thing you learn from American Idol it’s that song selection is everything (and that Steven Tyler is a god). That rule has never been more true than for this week’s episode of Glee. “Born This Way” had some meaningful moments (here’s looking at you Santana!) and some trite ones (sorry Quinn, when […]
The Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance, Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, Top Chef, Project Runway and The Bachelor dominate my TV season by airing at least 2 seasons or versions of themselves a year (Bachelor AND Bachelorette, SYTYCD AND SYTYCDCanada, etc…) But some of the biggest (and the smallest) reality shows of […]
I realize I have fallen behind on the many many things happening in the TV world right now. It’s finale time, which means it’s My TV Season Wrap-Up time so my plate is quite full of writing to be done. In the mean time, in case you haven’t been following @MyEntWorld on twitter (which you […]
1) Nigel announced who the female hip hop master is going to be for the SYTYCD All-Star pool and it’s the least surprising news since he announced the male hip hopper (Twitch). It’s season 4’s Comfort Fedoke, the best female popper the show’s ever seen from easily its best hip hop season. 2) I’m pretty […]
1) I love Ellen but don’t you think that an American Idol permanent judge should know at least something about the music industry? The recent announcement that Ellen will be taking Paula Abdul’s spot at the judging table already annoys me- and I don’t even watch the show. 2) What I do watch, however, is […]
Paula Abdul has officially left her post as resident shoulder-to-cry-on on the American Idol judging panel. An irreconcilable contract dispute (aka being replaced by the vile but knowledgeable Kara DioGuardi) has left Paula out of FOX’s upcoming 9th season of the ratings juggernaut. Beloved by contestants for being the one consistently supportive voice on the […]
This is what a singer sounds like- season 8, LISTEN UP!
Last night I watched American Idol for the first time in almost 5 years. After season 3 I just sort of quit the reality juggernaut. So going back to it was a bit of a strange experience. I, of course, knew of all the changes, but I didn’t expect it to seem like a completely […]
