American Idol Season 9 Top 2 Finalists Revealed
May 20, 2010
It was three seasons ago when we last saw a battle of the sexes finale on American Idol when Jordin Sparks won over Blake Lewis on Season 6. Season 9 will again see such rivalry as Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze battle it off Tuesday for the title of American Idol!
Bowersox has been a strong contender for the title at the early stage of the competition while DeWyze matured as time progressed. His Top 3 performances proved that he is a worthy contender for the title. This will surely be a treat to rock fans as both artists falls on that side of the genre.
Who do you think will be Season 9′s American Idol?

3 Lady Idols In Danger
March 11, 2010
American Idol Season 9 contestants Katie Stevens, Paige Miles and Katelyn Epperly are in danger of not making it into this season’s top 12. All four judges are not that impressed with their performances.
Katie Stevens sang “Breakaway” and judge Randy Jackson thought it sounded close to karaoke. Kara DioGuardi thought Stevens is yet to find the kind of artist she wants to be.
19-year-old Katelyn Epperly’s rendition of “I Feel the Earth Move” didn’t impressed DioGuardi either. The lad judge thought that Epperly was just “going through the motions”. Judge Simon Cowell likened her performance to request night at a restaurant.
Paige Miles sang “Smile”. Randy thought that the song was too big for the Houston-based contestant. The way Miles interpreted the song can serve like sleep-pills. Judge Ellen Degeneres said instead of being inspired, she felt sad.
Now who among three will say goodbye to their Idol dream or does America has someone else other than these three in mind?
American Idol Season 8 Favorite Guest Appearances
May 26, 2009
American Idol Season 8 is through and what a season it was!
There are a lot of theory that surfaced on how Kris Allen won against Adam Lambert but I do not want to discuss all that now. It was a good season with a star-studded finale that I guess everyone enjoyed. “Anticlimactic” as the ending may have been for some, accept it that Allen is Season 8′s American Idol! Wohoo! 
Seriously, this was a good season and here are 13 guest appearances that I marked “My Favorites!”
American Idol Season 8: Top 11 Elimination Result
March 19, 2009
This week’s Elimination Result pains me since two of my favorites were in the bottom three and one of them eventually got voted off. I failed to watch the performance night but read in the net that she indeed delivered an unimpressive performance. The judges are willing to use their veto vote on her granting she can deliver a good reprise performance. But how could you impress someone with the same piece that got you in this mess? And so Alexis Grace goes home…
Next week, Idol goes Motown.
Why David Osmond Didn’t Made It Passed Hollywood Week?
March 16, 2009
If you are reading this post from another site other than www.iRonnie.com, this post is STOLEN.
One of the many talented contestants that failed to make it through American Idol Season 8′s Hollywood Week is David Osmond.
David is the fourth son of Alan Osmond who is the eldest of the performing Osmonds. David auditioned in Salt Lake City with Take 6′s Something Within Me as his piece. Based from the clips shown on television, the judges were not that ecstatic with his song. Regardless, I was hoping to see him as one of the Top 12 or 36 the least. But he didn’t. Since the show failed to give him, nor his group, airtime during Hollywood Week, fans might be wondering and speculating the reason behind the early end of his Idol journey. Surely, he seems more talented than some who made it to the Top 36.
Wonder no more as David himself recalls what happened to him that day…
What a crazy night, huh!? Unbelievable actually. It’s really weird that they didn’t show anything from our group from that day, because it was without a doubt one of the freakiest days that I have EVER had in my entire life. Let me explain…

American Idol Season 8: Top 13 Result
March 12, 2009
Though none of those eliminated is my favorite, I was surprised to see Jorge Nunez go. I was expecting that he’ll have the whole Puerto Rico’s support on his Idol quest. He did made a bad pick. He may have made it for another round if he sang She’s Out of My Life.
Jasmine Murray is the other casualty of this week’s double elimination. At her young age, she’ll have a lot of time to polish her talent. I do not have any problem with her being serious or sentimental if that is her personality. I just feel something unnatural with her whenever she performs.
It seems that the judges will be having a power to veto the voters’ decision for this season. However, with the way votes are favoring the judges’ favorites (i.e. Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds), they may not be needing to use it after all. They will all advance to the next round together with Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Megan Corkrey, Michael Sarver, and Scott McIntyre.
Next week, only one Idol hopeful will be walking down the road. If he gets saved, two will go on the following week.
America Completes Season 8′s Idol Hopefuls
March 10, 2009
America have completed its new set of Idol hopefuls with one contestant more than originally determined.
Twelve Hollywood Week survivors battled it out during Round 3 of the Top 36 and the following stood victorious:
- Lil Rounds – 23 years old from Memphis, TN
- Scott McIntyre – 23 years old from Scottsdale, AZ
- Jorge Nunez – 20 years old from Carolina, PR
Eight contestants who were previously eliminated from the Top 36 round were selected by the judges to compete for the Wild Card. Four made it through:
- Jasmine Murray – 16 years old from Starkville, MS
- Megan Corkey – 22 years old from Sandy, UT
- Matt Giraud – 23 years old from Kalamazoo, MI
- Anoop Desai – 21 years old from Chapel Hill, NC
Sadly, unlike the first half, none of their qualifying performances impressed me enough to be my favorite. However, I commend Matt Giraud and Megan Corkey for an enjoyable performance.
