– I watched both shows from the week late Thursday night and decided to combine the notes because I really didn’t have much to say about the results episode. – The judges’ style on Wednesday left a little to be desired. JLO’s hair was a mess. I know Randy wears some outlandish articles of clothing,… Read more »

– I thought one of the bigger items of the evening occurred at the top of the show. Jimmy Iovine went above and beyond words to co-sign on Joshua Ledet. The singer may not have won “Idol”… yet, but he’s apparently already won a record deal. Iovine stated that Interscope would do everything in its… Read more »

– Loved Stevie Van Zandt as a celebrity mentor. He is the only mentor that could really put Jimmy Iovine in his place. The two go way back, to the days when Iovine was an engineer on Bruce Springsteen’s records, and it showed. Iovine and Little Steven play off each other so well, they should… Read more »

– I was over this whole “Queen on ‘Idol’” thing yesterday, but that opening number was pretty cool. – The TMZ bit was brilliant, one of the best segments of the season. Another example of “Idol” evolving as a show. Although, as per my notes last night, it’s obvious the two entities are in bed… Read more »

– “Idol” might as well come out and announce their public relations partnership with TMZ. Once again the gossip rag broke a story less than an hour before air time, although this time it didn’t involve a contestant but host Ryan Seacrest. The newly re-signed presenter was noticeably fatigued and his voice at times sounded… Read more »

– Condensed notes this week due to my crazy schedule with TV. Hey, my radio show doesn’t produce itself yunno! – Very classy tribute to Dick Clark at the top of Wednesday’s show. There would be no “Idol” without Clark. There probably wouldn’t be a Ryan Seacrest either, right? – No celebrity mentor on tonight’s… Read more »

– I did not like the way in which the bottom three were presented, with singers being told to take different sides of the stage and then one side pronounced safe and the other as the bottom three. It was weird and awkward, and the contestants who somehow aren’t in the bottom three shouldn’t be… Read more »

– I like how “Idol” is evolving as a show by bringing us more than just footage from the house where the finalists live, or clips of what people are saying back in their home towns. I think Tommy Hilfiger and Jimmy Iovine add a lot to the show – and I really feel moving… Read more »

– Ryan Seacrest’s line about Steven Tyler loving the attention… I mean, duh. – ANOTHER finalist sick? This time it is Joshua Ledet. This is strange, no? Hollywood week all over again… – Watching the Jennifer Lopez/Pitbull video debut felt like déjà vu. By the way, maybe the video was “fun” for you and your… Read more »

– I vote for Gwen Stefani to be a guest mentor every week. Seriously though, I thought her and Tony Kanal were great. – Love when Jimmy Iovine tells the old-timer stories, like him passing on the “Flashdance” soundtrack. – I’m sorry but I think I’d rather have a shorter show than the duets. We… Read more »
