Vote for the Worst strikes again?
Is Tim Urban this year's Sanjaya?
Let me start by saying that I’m aware that “American Idol” is a seriously cheesy show, and getting worse every year (I actually haven’t watched a full season since the one with Melinda Doolittle, and I’m not entirely proud of myself for watching it this season. And hey, I also watch “Lost” and next month I plan to start watching “Glee.” Other than that I pretty much stick with news and other more dignified programming, so don’t judge me…) Okay, now that we’re past that, is it possible that VoteForTheWorst.com really does have the power to influence the show? How else to explain how Tim Urban — perhaps the worst singer ever to make it this far (so much so that Ellen once asked if he can act, as an alternative to singing) — got into the top 12 and not Alex Lambert, who has a fantastic recording voice, even if not nerves of steel? Or Paige or the utterly unmemorable Katie Stevens, whose name I had to look up because she was so utterly unmemorable??? It’s hard to know if VFTW has the pull they think they do, but the result of this show is pretty bizarre otherwise: Read more
Could Andrew Garcia be the first Latino ‘American Idol?’
I know it’s way too early, but from his audition on, this guy is special:
Monday TiVo: General Larry Platt to perform on ‘The View’
“Pants on the Ground” goes daytime Monday. Set your TiVo or DVR now so you don’t miss it! In case you haven’t gotten with the Idol hit (with a great message) yet, here you go. Oh, and here’s a pretty good re-mix. And here’s the Neil Young version, as performed by Jimmy Fallon. Hilarious, much-needed comic relief! (And General Larry just might finally end a really ugly, ridiculous fashion trend once and for all! Here’s hoping…)
Entertainment – A star is born: General Platt rocks Idol with ‘Pants on the Ground’
You’re about to witness the best … American … Idol … contestant … EVER. 62-year-old “General Larry” Platt of Atlanta is a certified hit! He got the whole Idol crew and fellow contestants singing along with his original, and very timely, rap song. And after tonight, nobody had better walk around with their “pants on the ground.” If you don’t love this guy, you’re dead inside (or maybe you’re looking like a fool with your pants on the ground…) Watch:
Now … where do I get the ringtone?

Will Adam Lambert ‘tart up’ the CBS Early Show?
Lambert’s AMA performance: the most offensive part was the singing…
CBS mornings may never be the same. The excitement-challenged morning show will grab ABC’s sloppy seconds, booking Adam Lambert for a morning concert performance. (Onlookers may want to stand back to avoid the whips.) As for ABC? Well, they’re taking a pass on a second helping of the caterwalling, over-the-top, Idol runner-up who seems determined to become an asterisk in the music world by overdoing the theatrics and under-doing the song and vocal quality. It’s a shame. They guy has a good singing voice (when he’s not shrieking like a banshee). He kind of had us at “Mad World,” and probably should have left it at that.
But you know who’s thanking him right now? That other kid, you know, the one who won Idol. His stock just went way up with the family values music buying crowd.
UPDATE: CBS lets Lambert explain himself, and then they step into some gay type controversy of their own by blurring out the man on man action. Um … maybe it’s just me, but isn’t early morning too early for images of someone shoving another person’s face into their crotch?
Can her man tag along? Posh to guest host ‘Idol’
I might start watching “American Idol” again if Posh hosts, as long as she brings Becks along! But I still think Paula Abdul is crazy to leave the show…
