Haley Survives Vote But Karen Rodriguez Doesn't

On Thursday nights "American Idol" result show Haley Reinhart was in the bottom three again this week but she survived the vote for another week. Joining Haley in the bottom three was Naima Adebapo and early stand out Karen Rodriguez who has not had a good couple of weeks. The bottom three wasn't really a surprise although some may be surprised that Karen was there; Karen is a good singer but she has had several boring performances and it wasn't really a surprise when she was voted off. The last few weeks it seems a divide is forming with the same few contestants in the bottom every week the question is an they step up their game or will the rest continue to pull away i guess we will see next week.

Our Pick For Going Home On Idol Tonight

Our pick for who is going home tonight on the "American Idol" result show is Haley Reinhart she has a nice personality and is cute but her voice isn't strong enough. There is a couple of other female singers that could also be voted off this week but Haley is our pick sorry Haley.

The Save Returns Again Tonight On “American Idol”

On last week’s result show finalist Ashthon Jones was eliminated after she received the fewest number of votes from the American public. The contestants performed songs by their music idols and Ashthon a twenty four year old from Valdosta, GA performed ‘When you tell me that you love me.” The fact that she was sent home wasn’t really a surprise as it was one of the weaker performances. On last week’s result show it was announced that the Judges Save returns this season which the judges get to use one time up until the final five finalists remain. The save works the same as last year where the judges have the option to save the contestant with the fewest number of votes from being voted off but to use it the judges must be unanimous. If the save is used the two contestants on the following week that receive the lowest number of public vote will be eliminated.

Ratings Down But Show Better

Fans & Ryan At New Jersey AuditionsThe ratings for this seasons premiere episode of "American Idol" were said to down 13 percent from last year which is a shame considering the show is better. The fact that the shows ratings were down with Simon Cowell gone isn't really a surprise but i would have thought more people would have been curious about the debut of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez as judges. The new judging team is good although i wish Steven Tyler would be tougher the problem with performers as judges is they feel for the contestants too much and don't want to be too tough. Jennifer is showing a softer edge than people may be used to but she has to be careful as she is starting to look more and more like Paula Abdul as she is very emotional; The fact Jennifer Lopez has emotional outbursts is okay but without Simon's hard edge to balance things out the show could get too sugary. 

“American Idol” Finally Premieres

Ryan Seacrest talks to the contestantsLast night after months of tabloid stories about the show as well as months of advertising the new season of “American Idol” premiered on FOX with Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez joining Randy Jackson behind the judges table. I was kind of expecting a mess and I was nicely surprised with last night’s show as both of the new judges did very well. Steven Tyler is wacky as expected but his comments are straight forward, Jennifer Lopez was expected to be like Paula with emotional outbursts she was sensitive but also held her own.  Both of the new judges were very comfortable in front of the camera which isn’t surprising as both of them are performers but it brought a relaxed tone which the show didn’t see last year. Yes I do miss Simon but it looks like Steven will somewhat fill the role of the one that is plain talking. The third judge Randy Jackson has sensibly not tried to compete in star power and moved in to a supportive role of the other judges on the desk. I’m sure last night’s premiere had big ratings as people tuned in to see the new judges the question is will the same audience stayed tuned to the show over the next several weeks. It will be later in the season before we see what the effect the new judges have had on the show which has seen declining ratings over the last few years but has still been televisions number one rated show.
