I always associate the Jerry Lewis Telethon with the Labor Day weekend so I was happy to see a couple familiar faces on the program encouraging viewers to give money to cure Muscular Dystrophy. 
Ace Young (Season 5) co-hosted the event and then graced the stage with performances of “It Had To Be You” (one of my favorites since I used it for my first dance at my wedding!) and “Come Together.”  It was a sweet and classy set and, of course, Ace looked as cute as ever!  Check out the video.

Bo Bice (runner-up, Season 4) also took to the …read more

American Idol season 4 runner-up, Bo Bice, and his wife, Caroline, are expecting their third child.  They are already the proud parents of Aiden Michael, 3, and Caleb James, 9 months.

Bo announced the big news to fans on Friday and said: "American Idol has a new winner each year – seems things are the same in our house.  Can’t wait to introduce our new little ‘Idol’ to the world January 31st!"
If you would like to see Bo perform, he will be touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd in August.

There were so many stars on the red carpet last night for the American Idol season 8 finale that I wouldn’t even dream of trying to list them here. 

Of course, there were the finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, along with the rest of the Top 13 and judges but the celebrities (and former contestants) came out in droves to see who would win the singing competition. 

It looks like season four winner, Carrie Underwood, hurt her knee somehow since she’s got her “owie” all covered up with four Hello Kitty bandaids. She still managed to look absolutely …read more

I just came back from the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios and I had a blast.  I’m thoroughly exhausted but it really was a lot of fun.  Disney really knows how to put on a show and I am extremely grateful to them for the fabulous trip!
I will cover the event in three parts (motorcade, American Idol Experience show and the after-party) over the next three days.  Today, I’ll kick things off by telling you all about the American Idol motorcade. 
The blue carpet was rolled out for …read more

I took the weekend off from blogging so I need to do two seasons today to catch up in time for tomorrow night’s American Idol season 8 premiere.  Are you excited? 

The fourth season of Idol ended with a showdown between Carrie Underwood (winner) and Bo Bice (runner-up).  It was a relatively good season, if you ask me, and I genuinely was unsure who would win.  I really adored Anthony Federov and was so upset when he was eliminated and I had an inexplicable fondness for Constantine Maroulis. 
For fun, here’s a look back at that season’s Top 12 …read more

American Idol season 4 runner-up, Bo Bice, sang the national anthem at the Pepsi 500 this weekend.  I love Bo and I respect him as an artist but this was not a great performance.  He was all over the place and I was actually kind of stunned.

Since American Idol is now over for the season, I’m planning on doing “flashback” posts from the different Idol shows from around the world.  The first one is today and it’s Bo Bice from season 4 singing “I Don’t Want to Be.”  Years later, I would love to hear what you think of this performance!

Bo Bice returned to the American Idol stage last night where he performed his song “Witness.”  What did you guys think of it?  I think he sounded good but I would have liked to see him perform one of his other songs from the album since I think a lot of people are already familiar with this one. 
Now, what did y’all think of his hair?  I had some people say that they really thought he needed a haircut to deal with those split ends.  All the same, he seemed like he enjoyed himself and that was great to …read more
