Season 8's lovable red-haired rocker slowed things down for Los
Angeles' KISS 102.7, where she performed three acoustic tracks off her
recently released debut album
Just Like You.
Even slowed down, Allison still shows the spunk, multi-colored hair and undeniable vocal talent that enamored the judges and America so much last season. Listening to Allison perform these songs, I still feel a tinge of shock that she wasn't one of the final two standing at the end of season 8. She may not have been America's Idol, but with pipes and presence like that, I suspect she'll have a richer career than many who've taken home the
Idol crown.
Danny Gokey. Has any generic
American Idol contestant ever been more
controversial? Having missed much of last season, save
Oscar's recaps,
I never fully understood why any one cared either way about the mild-mannered music teacher from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But you do,
enough to leave countless comments both defending and deriding The
Gokey.
Sorry to say that Gokey's just released video for his song "The Best
Days Are Ahead of Me" won't be changing anyone's mind about him. If you loved him and his church-perfect voice and message during
Idol,
you'll love the video and its power of positive thinking slogans and
message. If you thought Gokey was cheesier than cheddar, those same
slogans and positive phrases, are going to have you reaching for a barf
bucket faster than you can say "sob-story."
This year during the AFC and NFC games, we saw and heard Jordin Sparks and Kris Allen grace us with the National Anthem but for the big game, Super Bowl XLIV, they called none other than Carrie Underwood, season 4 winner of American Idol.
Carrie has outsold all other previous winners and contestants on american idol and is a four time grammy winner. This marks the third straight superbowl where an idol contestant has sung the national anthem, the previous two being Jordin Sparks and Jennifer Hudson.
Being the football fan that I am, I was already getting geared up for the game but now I will make sure I’m there for the start because Carrie has an amazing voice and I know she will do America proud on the song.
Will any of you watch the game now that Carrie is singing?

FOX has figured out a sure-fire way to avoid season 8's chronic
inability to finish on time, add more hours to
American Idol. The
network has announced they'll be extending the Top 11, Top 10, and Top
9 performance shows to two hours each. As has been the case in previous
seasons, the Top 12 performance show will also be a two hour event.
That means from the Top 24 performance to the Top 9 results show,
Idol
fans will experience a full 24 hours of
American Idol.
Our feelings on the additional hours of
Idol are mixed. On the positive
side, it hopefully means no one will miss the best performance of the
entire season because their DVR stopped recording at the regularly
scheduled end time. (No, I'm not at all
still bitter about missing Adam
Lambert's "Mad World" last season. Not. At. All.) Also in the positive
column, is the lessons learned from the fall season of
So You Think You
Can Dance, who's hour long performance shows felt manically rushed
without intro packages and "filler."
