David Cook will win “American Idol”

David Cook has got the smug attitude of a rock star, the purposely messed-up hair style of a rock star and the overpriced wardrobe of a rock star.  After tonight’s “American Idol”, odds are good that he will be able to live out his rock-n-roll fantasy.
Cook outperformed his rivals David Archuletta and Syesha Mercado.  He [...]

Jason Castro must go now from “American Idol”

When are “American Idol”voters going to wake up, smell the coffee and get rid of the marginally talented Jason Castro?
Sometimes Castro is charming. More often than not, though, his dreadlocks seem to be wound too tight. He has turned in some godawful performances such as tonight’s butchering of the Neil Diamond classic “Sweet Caroline.” For [...]

Jason Castro surprisingly “inspired” Idol performance

Jason Castro, the dreaded freak, surprised me tonight on “American Idol.”
His version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was enjoyable, the best performance of the night. Brooke White’s “You’ve Got a Friend” wasn’t bad as was David Archuleta. The rest of them were pretty forgettable.
As of now, the bottom three are Kristy Lee Cook, Carly Smithson [...]

Hillary Clinton lies about being under fire in Bosnia

When politicians lie, they better make it good. Hillary Clinton seems to have forgotten that adage as she repeatedly exaggerated her foreign policy credentials, including being “under fire” during a trip to Bosnia. I find this fib unfathomable.
First of all, her whole life as first lady was videotaped. People saw her comings and goings [...]

American Idol milk The Beatles again

Sometimes, too much of a good thing isn’t good. Tonight’s second Beatles theme night on “American Idol” is a case in point. Maybe the show’s producers are running out of ideas. Maybe the Beatles were getting some sort of divine payback for all of that sex and drugs. Maybe Michael Jackson needed the money.
Whatever the [...]

Brooke White’s “Let it Be” steals show on “American Idol.”

Brooke White struck gold again. On tonight’s Beatles-themed “American Idol” program, the barefoot girl next door managed to bring a freshness and honesty to “Let it Be”, one of the most covered pop songs in history, that showed why she is the contest to beat in this season’s competition.
My wife asked me whether she really [...]

Will Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama join forces?

from TVCrazy.netHillary Clinton has been coyly hinting that she might be interested in joining forces with Barack Obama, proving that she knows which way the wind blows.

The former first lady has been gaining ground since winning the closely watched contests in Texas and Ohio. She is in good shape to win the next big battleground in [...]

Barack Obama trumps Hillary Clinton’s fundraising news

Leave it to Barack Obama to rain on Hillary Clinton’s parade.
The New York senator’s faltering campaign thought it would get some positive press when it “announced one of the best fundraising months of American political history, and the best of her campaign,” according to Politico. While the $35 million figure is indeed impressive, [...]

Barack Obama holds off Hillary Clinton in latest debate

tsevis (via Flickr) Throughout the campaign, Barack Obama has proved to be a far more likable candidate than Hillary Clinton. Tonight’s debate was no exception.
The Illinois senator sounded calm, poised and most importantly presidential. Obama didn’t fall into any of Clinton’s rhetorical traps such as when she criticized him for only “renouncing” and not “rejecting” [...]

David Archuleta vaults ahead of American Idol guys

David Archuleta’s haunting rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” was one of the best performances in the history of “American Idol.”
I can’t believe that a voice like that can come from a 17-year-old who probably doesn’t even shave yet. The performance stood head and shoulders above his incredibly mediocre competition tonight. There were a few [...]
