American Idol: Final Performances

Posted on May 20, 2008 by Jason

Live blogging the AI final performance. Weird, cheesy boxing intro. Although I like the Rocky theme music. All right, enough with the boxing theme. It’s a bit of overkill, don’t you think? We get it. They’re going to duke it … Continue reading →

American Idol: Final 3

Posted on May 14, 2008 by Jason

Last night’s Final 3 episode was pretty strong, in my opinion. Round 1: I think all three performers really shined here. The judges picked out some great songs; I especially liked Billy Joel’s “And So It Goes” for David A. … Continue reading →

A Week’s Worth Condensed Into One Post

Posted on May 4, 2008 by Jason

I should probably go ahead and let you know that things will probably be pretty boring here at Already & Not Yet this week. I’m planning on taking some vacation time and it’s doubtful that the blog will receive much … Continue reading →

American Idol: Top 5

Posted on April 29, 2008 by Jason

All right, first of all, I have no idea what Paula was talking about. I don’t know how you get so mixed up that you think Jason sang twice. Neil Diamond? Who comes up with these themes? Could we find … Continue reading →

American Idol: Top 6

Posted on April 22, 2008 by Jason

Tonight I’m going to do a little live-blogging experiment with my AI post. Here goes: I don’t think I’m going to like Andrew Lloyd Weber night. Not my kind of stuff. I’m betting I’m not alone on this. Syesha: She’ll … Continue reading →

American Idol: Top 7

Posted on April 16, 2008 by Jason

I don’t know who’s picking these themes, but somebody needs to intervene. Mariah Carey? Seriously? (While I’m at it, we finally got around to watching Idol Gives Back the other night. Great show, loved the message, but who lined up … Continue reading →

Second Verse, Same As The First

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Jason

So I “heard” that Michael Johns was eliminated from American Idol last night. I say “heard” because I didn’t get to see it for myself. Once again, nothing but the blue screen of doom. This is getting annoying. Anybody else … Continue reading →

A Different Post

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Jason

I was going to make a different post today. I had a post that was percolating in my head about Idol Gives Back, Oprah’s Big Give, and social justice. Thanks to Dish Network, though, I didn’t get the chance to … Continue reading →

American Idol: Top 8

Posted on April 8, 2008 by Jason

This was an odd week for me. The “inspirational songs” theme is appropriate in light of the Idol Give Back campaign this week (which I love, by the way). But it led to some pretty lackluster performances, in my opinion. … Continue reading →

American Idol: Top 9

Posted on April 2, 2008 by Jason

No time for a full-fledged post today. Just an American Idol prediction: Ramiele and Kristy Lee will be the bottom 2, with Kristy going home. Also, the new Counting Crows album Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is great. If you’re … Continue reading →
