American Idol XIII: Top 12 Performances – Home Run or Heading Home?

Perhaps it’s exactly what Harry said during the results show this week. Maybe mentor Randy Jackson just isn’t spending enough time to these kids to make sure they give the best possible performances they can. On Wednesday night the judges honesty, if inconsistent, seemed to drag the show down. I appreciate them giving feedback to […]

More Than A Sharp Pair of Stilettos: BANSHEE’s Hoon Lee

I love television—I always have. I love being swept up in a story and having the opportunity to get to know captivating characters, to get to return to their lives week after week. As I’ve gotten older and started to explore film-making myself, my appreciation for shows that take risks has really grown. I admire […]

American Idol XIII: Top 13 Performances – “This Is Me”

After a rushed Rush Week, I didn’t know what to expect coming in this week’s show. Would the talent we saw in the Auditions and (somewhat) in Hollywood Week finally shine again or would we get another sloppy set of performances where we were forced to pick the best in a bunch of mediocre performances. […]

The Pete Holmes Show came back at the beginning of this week to start it’s 13 week run, after being renewed following it’s 6-week test this fall. The show airs on Monday-Thursday at 12am on TBS, following Conan. While it hasn’t enjoyed high ratings, that does not fully represent the quality of the show. In […]

American Idol XIII: Rush Week

Now that the Top 13 has taken shape, I think it’s time to comment on each of them. For statistics purposes: I got 8/10 girls picks right and 7/10 guys picks right (including the bold Ben Briley prediction). I will say that some of their choices to sing shocked me, but some proved me wrong […]

American Idol XIII: The Top 31 Takes Shape

American Idol XIII: Hollywood Week Part 1 and 2

Despite our love affair with Idol even after 13 seasons, there are a few things that bug us about the show. New captain Per Blankens has done a good job adjusting a lot of those things, but one that he didn’t is Group Day. Sure, the challenge seems to test contestant’s abilities to work with […]

American Idol XIII Ep. 5 and 6: Salt Lake City and Omaha Auditions

Well, we don’t know about you – but we can’t believe the auditions are already over. Maybe it’s because we have judges who are actually okay with letting the talent be the focus of each episode. We’ve loved hearing so many singers over the past few weeks and even though we know that not all […]
