The second week of Idol auditions seemed to repeat the first, giving us plenty to think about after Thursday’s two-hour special, but leaving us a little high and dry after Wednesday’s one hour offering. Perhaps this arrangement was deliberate, leaving the audience wanting more for next week rather than ending on a bad note. Either […]
American Idol XV: Two-Night Premiere
The doors to the 15th and final season of American Idol opened Wednesday night with a nostalgic note, delivering a montage of the moments where each of the previous winners claimed their title and leaving us wondering who would be “the bookend to Kelly Clarkson” that would come from this season. Big shoes to fill, no doubt, […]
Why Mermaids Are ‘Real’ with Mako Mermaids Star Allie Bertram
As much as we’d all like to believe that one day we’ll get that letter from Hogwarts or that we too could join Frodo on his quest, we recognize that fantasy is just that: fantasy, but for Canadian actress Allie Bertram, the fantasy blends into reality as she takes on her role as Mimmi, one […]
Is It Possible to Drink Too Much Water? – The Dangers of Over-Hydration
Like most people, I was taught to drink my eight glasses of water a day, especially on a hot summer day or at the gym. But what I didn’t know, until recently, was that it is possible to drink too much water when you’re dehydrated.
SYTYCD12: The Winner Is Revealed
After we found out Season 12 of So You Think You Can Dance would be a radical change to the format of the show as we knew it, it was hard to know what to expect. How would this season’s “Team Stage” and “Team Street” stack up in comparison to the previous eleven seasons, where the contestants […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 4 Try To Win It All
Tonight we saw the remaining four contestants battle it out without the stress of imminent eliminations on their mind. They’ll have to wait a week to find out who will be crowned America’s Favorite Dancer, but before that we got to see them all dance together and with another all-star to try to prove that […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 6 Fight for the Finale
As Cat Deeley reminded us at the top of the show, tonight would be the night where she reveals the Top 4. Those results, however, would have to wait until the end of the show, which meant each member of the remaining six would have to dance their hardest since their votes tonight would count […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 8 Hope to Be Great
It’s hard to believe that just over a month ago was the first time the Top 20 took the stage and now, we’re staring down the barrel of the finale with only six contestants left after tonight. But even the harshest critics of the show’s new Stage vs. Street format have to agree that the […]
Carly Rae Jepsen Shows ‘Emotion’ on Her New Album
Back in the summer of 2012, Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen rose to stardom after Justin Bieber tweeted about her uber-catchy hit single, “Call Me Maybe.” Jepsen was subsequently signed to the same label as Bieber, Schoolboy Records, and released an album (called Kiss) later that year. This summer, she’s back and making waves […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 10 Join Forces With The All-Stars
Despite some great routines up to this point, I think it’s safe to say that most SYTYCD fans wait for the night where the show’s best alumni, the “all-stars”, join the ten remaining contestants for some routines that are just that much better for the involvement of a pro and we definitely had a few of those […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 14 Dance Again and the Top 10 is Revealed!
Last week, our consummate host Cat Deeley spilled the unfortunate beans that we’d be losing four members of our talented Top 14 and with the deck so stack, especially on the Street side of things (at least, in my opinion), I knew we’d likely lose at least one dancer before their time tonight, but before we […]
SYTYCD12: The Top 16 Deliver Some Sweetness
Perhaps executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe heard the cries of fans for more pairs routines, as they’ve produced some of the season’s most memorable moments thus far, or maybe it was always in the plans, but last night’s show was arguably the season’s best yet as some of the night’s duos had some tricks up […]



























How to Send American Idol Off in Style
by Andrew Rogers on December 28, 2015 in Film & Television, Music, News, Television
In just over a week, on Wednesday the 6th of January, American Idol will begin airing its final trek around the country to find a star and the pressure is on for the franchise and the judges (Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. are all returning) to find one last superstar, while simultaneously […]
