American Idol
Hopefuls take a shot at becoming an ‘Idol’
- Angelina Heaven Ortiz was told she had the perfect voice for radio. Just not TV.

Fuller endorses David Archuleta
- Often, when faced with two capable candidates, voters can’t see the fire through the smoke. They don’t want to acknowledge the inevitable winner both for the sake of being contrary and because this recognition would slay the underdog, blowing the whistle on the thrill of competition. They get caught up in the pomp and circumstance, enchanted by the rivalry itself.
Three’s a crowd
- Let’s blow right by the obvious fact that Syesha absolutely needs to get the heave-ho this week so we can get to the main event: David vs. David. Instead, let’s touch on more meaningless but curious fare.

Back from the bizarre
- Pardon me. I’m feeling a little woozy — this column is spinning.

The wheat from the chaff
- Two weeks ago, it was Mariah Carey. Last week, it was Andrew Lloyd Webber. This week, it’s Neil Diamond. “American Idol” has really turned up its A-list juice as the show’s popularity has cooked ever hotter. This season, “Idol’s” big-name bake is practically steaming with star power.

Now 6, who’re all in the mix
- If I were to admit in this space that I owned a few Mariah Carey CDs (yes, a few; i.e., minimum of three), that would be pretty gosh darn girlie.

Kristy Lee keeps on kickin’
- If you were surprised by the elimination of Michael Johns, you clearly haven’t been reading this space, which slotted the now-axed Aussie ahead of only the seemingly invincible Kristy Lee Cook. The story of this season is rapidly becoming how long can the Lil’ Engine That Could stay on the tracks, because Kristy Lee is noticably outclassed at this stage of the competition. I, for one, can hardly make heads or tails of it. But there it is. At least Sanjaya was funny.

‘Idol’ gives; viewers take
- Those of you who didn’t quit after wretched Beatles Week Part II were rewarded with a fine bill of ditties courtesy Dolly Parton’s songbook.
God bless ‘American Idol’
- It must have been my week, because not only did this space nail Chikezie’s elimination, but my NCAA bracket rounded out rather nicely, too. I also hoped for one of the “Idol” contestants to transform into a gaudy stereotype — and, suprisingly, it really happened. Just not with the singer I expected. Read on.
