Inside Disney’s American Idol Experience
I cannot put up pictures yet of what I saw while I was inside the American Idol Experience attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios but I can tell you a few things! There were five finalists and we were given instructions about how to vote for the person we liked best (there’s a voting panel on the armrests). The only problem is that you can accidentally change the vote of the person sitting next to you, which happened to me (fortunately,… More »
Disney’s American Idol Experience Attraction Opening – Motorcade Pictures
I just came back from the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios and I had a blast. I’m thoroughly exhausted but it really was a lot of fun.

I will cover the event in three parts (motorcade, American Idol Experience show and the after-party) over the next three days. Today, I’ll kick… More »
Jordin Sparks Shines at 2009 Grammy Awards
Did you see Jordin Sparks on the red carpet tonight at the 2009 Grammy Awards? She looked fabulous. I didn’t really like how long her earrings were but I thought the dress was VERY flattering.

American Idol season 6 finalist, Sanjaya Malakar, was on Good Morning America last Friday. Did you guys get a chance to see him?

Gina Glocksen Single “List of Regrets”
American Idol season 6 finalist, Gina Glocksen, has a new single that will be released in iTunes sometime in the near future. The song, “List of Regrets” is an upbeat dance track but still has a rock edge to it (similar to some of Pink’s songs). Click here to listen to it. I like it! What do you think? If you love Gina (what’s not to love?) and would like to keep up with all… More »

American Idol Season 6: Top 12
The sixth season of American Idol brought us a fantastic Top 12. It also brought me to this site. I started blogging on Idol Stalker right around the time the Top 12 was announced that year so, it always brings back fond memories. What do you remember about that year? Was it Jordin Sparks’ winning moment? Blake Lewis’ killer performance of “Shot Through the Heart (You Give Love a Bad Name)”? Sanjaya’s ponyhawk? To… More »

Do you remember when Chris Sligh auditioned for the sixth season of American Idol? I was really blown away by him since I really wasn’t expecting him to sound the way he did.

American Idol Countdown #1 – Jordin Sparks
Jordin Sparks won season 6 of American Idol on May 23, 2007. She had been a dark horse for much of the Top 12 performances and then suddenly surged to the head of the pack with a few weeks left in the competition. Her debut CD hasn’t had the best sales but, hopefully, 2008 will be kinder to Jordin. She’s still very young so I’m confident that with a little more experience and some great collaborations, we’ll be seeing… More »
American Idol Countdown #2 – Blake Lewis
Blake Lewis made it all the way to the American Idol finals and gave two of the best performances of the season (see below)! He was eliminated on the final results show on May 23, 2007. He gave unique, inventive performances that may not have been the strongest vocally but showed his versatility and potential as a post-Idol artist. Since he made it to the Top 2, I’m putting up two performances for him! Watch Blake perform "You… More »
American Idol Countdown #3 – Melinda Doolittle
Melinda Doolittle was eliminated from season 6 of American Idol on May 16, 2007 and it was a sad moment. I was sure she was going to be in the finals. Simon Cowell had expressed his preference for Melinda with lavish praise only to see her get eliminated. He, along with many of us, was shocked to see her go. Here’s her performance of "Nutbush City Limits" Technorati Tags: melinda doolittle,melinda… More »
