Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” is Surprisingly Good
When I first heard that there was a “new” Michael Jackson song that was being released as a single in conjunction with the upcoming release of the concert film “This Is It,” I cringed a little.
Review: Your New “American Idol”!
As predicted, Mt. Prospect, Illinois paint salesman Lee DeWyze emerged victorious at the Nokia theater in Hollywood, thus capping the unusual 9th season of American Idol
Review: Crystal vs. Lee!
Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox met while waiting in line and became friends. Little did they know that many months later, they’d be the last two standing at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles…and deservedly so.
Review: Casey Places 3rd

The highly-touted “Girls Year” has now turned into “The Year of the Girl,” as the elimination of Siobhan Magnus leaves lone female Crystal Bowersox to duke it out with four guys.
