BANFF, Alta. — “American Idol” shouldn’t try to replace Simon Cowell now that the sharp-tongued judge has left to helm a new reality series, says former “Idol” producer and “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Nigel Lythgoe. The variety show guru, who worked on “Idol” until 2008, says the singing competition should stick with three judges and pay more attention to the music after a lacklustre season. “It’s never been my opinion that four judges work on that program because it should be about the talent,” Lythgoe said in a recent interview from New York before heading to Alberta for the Banff World Television Festival.





Yep! Our boy and American Idol Season 9 champ, Lee Dewyze, will be singing in the NBA Finals. This is his own solo appearance after they (with Crystal Bowersox) “toured” TV shows and Radio Stations. Both Lee and Crystal already appeared in Ellen’s show, Regis and Kelly and most recently, NBC’s Today Show. What’s next now is for the both of them to separate ways (maybe?) and start promoting themselves. So oaky, Lee’s singing for the NBA finals but guess what because Chicago Bulls already did their early exit. So Lee’s just following the American idol tradition: singing in the NBA finals, meh!
Hohummm… this is literally boring! I’ve no idea who’s next to replace Simon Cowell. A lot of folks, including Howard Stern and Perez Hilton gets mentioned while the ninth season is still running. Now the show is over and look at what we got… Brett Michaels! Yup, that 48 year old glam rocker from the 80s is said to be replacing Simon Cowell. Of course, this is NOT confirmed yet. Just to give you an idea. My opinion is this: Brett is ailing. He is said to be suffering from brain hemorrhage and is diabetic. The thing is, who will replace Brett if he dies? Ah ah, not saying that Brett is dying, just my own speculation – since all of these were just speculations, so why so serious?
There’s been a lot of talk that Paula Abdul will be returning in this finale of American Idol (Season 9). This 9th Season is indeed one of my favorite after David VS David finale. Not only that this season is controversial, it is also the last one with Simon Cowell. So next year, there will be a new judge but that’s too soon to discussed. I’ve made a lot of posts back then if who’s replacing Simon but all of them is just ‘rumors’ so it’s useless to speculate things at this point. Anyways, back with our Crystal Bowersox VS Lee Dewyze finale. It’s not easy watching this battle since it’s a close fight!
The road towards revealing the Top 2 is here! This 9th season of American Idol has been a looooooong way of giving wild guesses on who’s leaving/who’s staying in the show – but tonight, only two lucky contestants will battle for the finale and only one will be crowned the champ, and that’s next week! Tonight, we will be saying goodbye to the odd man – because guess what… three is a crowd, right? The results might be good or bad to some, but public decision is the law around here. Whether you like it or not, the results are in! Anyway, I think the results is not so surprising at all…
Tonight it is the Top 3 competing on American Idol. That’s Crystal Bowersox, Casey James, and Lee Dewyze. Whatever these performances might bring to them, it is surely a life changing moment after American Idol. Of course, tonight we are expecting the obligatory ‘parade and mini-concert’ among the Top 3’s hometown. Don’t get the least, because your favorite contestant will be singing TWICE tonight. For their next round, they’re singing the judges song choice for them. Sounds familiar? Ok, then watch the stream below…
