Now, don’t get me wrong, My mother was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, my relatives live in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. But haven’t we had enough New Jersey on TV?

I am pleased that a Michael Grimm won the show this season, instead of a novelty act. He is the real deal, having heard him live many times, I can tell you he is even better, in-person

I will start with my never ending surprise when a singer that I know to be excellent, beautiful, and quite capable, is auditioning for American Idol and doesn’t get past the first set of producer

Ellen DeGeneres is gone, i understand, having two shows must have been gruelling. Also, she was too nice to want to hurt anyone”s feelings.

OK, get ready, July 17th in Nashville, and August 19th in San Fransico, are the two locations that stand out. Los Angeles is on the map, but no date.

I know more people who have been to a Daughtry concert, then a Carrie, or Kelly, Ruben, or Fantasia one. It doesn’t matter who wins next week

The facts are in, Mike and Crystal were in the bottom two. These are the strongest singers in the competition. This is a telling verdict indeed.

First of all Kara looks good tonight with no bling. Second, Jamie Foxx will be fun.
