David Cook Singing “Innocent” (Video)

Although this wasn’t my favorite of David’s performances, my favorite IDOL almost always make it to my video list. Showing the love even on the not so great nights.

Syesha Mercado Singing “I Believe”

I’m posting my Top 4 favorite performances from tonight’s AMERICAN IDOL. I thought Syesha Mercado did a fantastic job tonight and wanted to giver her props for taking on a big song.

AMERICAN IDOL – Top 8 Perform

In celebration of tomorrow night’s big ‘Idol Gives Back’ episode, the contestants were charged with signing inspirational songs tonight.  But I thought the night as a whole was anything but.  There were a few standout performances but maybe only one that warrants watching more than a few times. Here’s my take on the IDOLs tonight. […]

David Cook Singing “Little Sparrow” (Video)

David Cook got my attention this week with his performance of the Dolly Parton classic “Little Sparrow”. I just dig this guy and I hope he takes it all (and by that I mean I hope he comes in 2nd or 3rd so he can make his career his own). Check out David’s performance… It […]

Jason Castro, Michael Johns and Carly Smithson Sing Dolly Parton Classics (Watch)

David Cook is my all around favorite IDOL contestant, but I think others had really strong performances this week. I couldn’t decide on which videos to honor so I went with Jason, Michael and Carly. I’m indecisive…sue me! Michael Johns Singing “It’s All Wrong but it’s Right” Jason Castro Singing “Travelin’ Thru” Carly Smithson Singing […]

David Archuleta Singing “Smokey Mountain Memories” (Video)

David Archuleta came through with an important performance tonight. The girls in the front rows afflicted with Archuletaism (or Archuletitis) and I suspect a few were swooning from the comfort of their living rooms. So for your viewing pleasure, here is David’s performance of “Smokey Mountain Memories”

AMERICAN IDOL – Top 9 Perform

I’ve been such a crazy person running around L.A. this week that it was nice to sit back and just enjoy AMERICAN IDOL tonight. Well, “enjoy” might not be the right word as overall I didn’t think it was a very strong night, but IDOL is still IDOL and it was nice to catch it […]

(March 17, 2010) PREVIOUS POST: In what was a rather shocking episode, another contestant went home on AMERICAN IDOL tonight. Shocking because it was Jason Castro and not Kristy Lee Cook joining Syesha Mercado […]

David Cook Singing “Billie Jean” (Watch)

David Cook pulled out the big ones tonight when he took on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”. A risky performance to say the least given that most of the audience has never heard this particular arrangement made somewhat famous by Chris Cornell. David was my personal fave going into tonight, but now I’m betting on him […]

Michael Johns Singing “We Are The Champions” (Watch)

This is the first time Michael Johns has been a featured post-performance contestant on GMMR. I thought he was fantastic tonight with his rendition of Queen’s “We Are The Champions”. If I’m not mistaken, Michael sang this song during Hollywood Week and it was great then too. This boy certainly loves his Queen (um, what?) […]

AMERICAN IDOL Top 10 Perform

The top ten AMERICAN IDOL contestants are on a mission to make some of us feel very old tonight. How’s that? Well, they’re each going to be singing a song from the year they were born. And as one of the contestants was a newborn while I was a Freshman in High School, well, yeah […]

Syesha Mercado Sings “Yesterday”

A little behind on the AMERICAN IDOL front today, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t post Syesha Mercado’s performance of “Yesterday” from last night’s American Idol. If you’re a regular GMMR reader then you know that Syesha is my girl and I’m glad she had a big week.

David Archuleta Sings The Long and Winding Road (Watch)

Little David Archuleta bounced back from his rough performance last week with tonight’s rendition of “The Long and Winding Road”. Hey, at least he remembered the lyrics. If you stand real still you can feel the energy of the tweens around the country swooning.

Who Went Home on AMERICAN IDOL?

Someone’s hopes and dreams were shattered by the American public. God we suck. But before […]

Brooke White Sings “Let it Be” (Watch)

In the past 5 minutes I’ve received a bunch of emails asking me to post Brooke White’s performance of “Let It Be”. I’ve watched it a few times now and it’s growing on me. Check out the performance. This is for Mandy, Jodie, Steph, Mark, Joe and Becca
