Right, isn’t this too early to make speculations about who will replace Simon Cowell? Yesterday, I’ve posted Howard Stern, since he keeps on repeating this issue on his radio show – but apparently, American Idol Staff denied that they (AI) approached or ‘considered’ Stern as the most suited person to replace Cowell. People were like being turned as dummies here, ‘who will replace who?’. That’s interesting, but to came up with new names every week is useless. At the moment, make your wild guesses if who will replace Simon Cowell by simply clicking here…
Since there are just too many speculations regarding ‘who will replace Simon Cowell’, I didn’t mind this one at first. Now the man has spoken and sounds like a real deal this time around. Last Monday (9th February 2010) shock jock, Howard Stern, told his Satellite Radio Listeners that the rumor is certainly true. Producers of American Idol were considering him as a replacement of Simon Cowell and Stern just got tsomething to say, like “I’ll do that for $100 million.” Stern said. “For $100 million a year, to judge a karaoke contest? Ok. Why not?” It was reported that AI producers are very much willing to match Howard’s recent current salary.
The auditions were all over and American Idol is finally heading to Hollywood. A place where dreams will be severely crush – perhaps, more “painful” than your dreams being crushed while auditioning in your hometown, right? So, as audience, we are here waiting for tomorrow’s first Hollywood Week episode of Season 9. You all got your favorites but we’ll see how far they can go once they are there with other contestants that ‘can sing’. Are they good enough to stand out from the rest…
Finally, it all comes down to this: the last auditions before moving on to The Hollywood Week. So this is most likely what Ryan Seacrest promised, a ’save the best for last’ show, or is that really a promise? The Hollywood Rounds will be airing next week and that is the battle of the best and the deserving to perform in the finale. This episode is mostly a recap of what happen during the auditions within the seven cities…
Denver… this is the last audition for American Idol this 9th Season. So far the last one is, very average – not bad at all, and we’re back seeing Victoria Beckham once again as a guest judge. Nothing’s changing, same style of judging and she’s not even smiling this time around. It started with a montage of Chris Daughtry, who happens to be hailing from Denver back in Season 5. Here’s a complete recap…
American Idol alum, Carrie Underwood, takes home a trophy this recent Grammy Awards, but perhaps she should have taken two trophies instead of one. It was a bit disappointing that she got beaten out of the Best Female Country Vocal Performance by Taylor Swift. Swift sweep the awards, and anyway… the next American Idol episodes will be the last Auditions in Denver and we’re back with Victoria Beckham. Maybe she might be able to contribute on the judging panel this time around.
These second group of confirmed Hollywood Week contestants were posted below. There might be an endless update to this but if you’ve watched the first six episodes, I’m sure you are already familiar with these guys, so take your pick.
