American Idol season 7 cutie pie, David Archuleta, has again teamed up with DoSomething.org to help those in need. Dunkin Brands’ Community Foundation is working with the organization to provide a $500 grant every week to teens who are taking action around disaster relief. That’s amazing!

If you’re looking for suggestions, consider organizing a canned food drive at your school, church or in… More »
Have you heard David Archuleta’s song “Zero Gravity” yet? It isn’t on his album and it hasn’t been released anywhere but he performed it live during a performance in Richmond, Virginia last week. I like it a lot but it’s pretty different from anything on his album (which I loved when I reviewed it!). I think you can tell that he hasn’t performed this song too often since, even though he was great, he didn’t seem as comfortable as… More »
American Idol season 7 finalist, Brooke White, was on the results show last night where she debuted her new single “Hold Up My Heart” and I’m guessing viewers really liked it because it’s already doing really well! On Twitter today, Brooke wrote the following: “GOOD MORNING!! MY SISTER JUST CALLED ME AND SAID "HOLD UP MY HEART" IS #4 ON THE ITUNES POP CHARTS AND #12 ON THE OVERALL CHARTS!! WOW!LOL!” It was closely… More »

Here are the planned tour dates: April: 21 – Wolverhampton Civic 22 – Blackpool Opera… More »
Did you catch Carly Smithson and Michael Johns performing “The Letter” on the results show tonight on American Idol. They are both good singers (and actually really nice in person) but I wasn’t fond of this performance. Did you like it? … More »
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 »
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. Disney really knows how to put on a show and I am extremely grateful to them for the fabulous trip! 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 »

American Idol season 7 winner, David Cook, created a video blog for his fans (I love technology!). He showed his appreciation for how well the tour has started. He acknowledges that people have been whining about the fact that there aren’t enough shows or tickets but he does promise to try to add more dates in the future. He looks awfully tired but oh so cute! … More »

The finalists get to try out for… More »
With opening chords that sounded eerily reminiscent of Daughtry’s hit song “Home” the infamous, Josiah Leming, covered “The Freshmen.” You may remember him as the emotional (but outstanding) contestant whose elimination from the Top 50 last year on American Idol shocked a lot of people (even Ellen Degeneres had him on her show and felt he deserved some good prizes). Anyway, so back to the cover. I’m a real fan of The Verve Pipe’s “The… More »
American Idol season 7 runner-up, David Archuleta, is going on tour this spring. I was over on the Archuleta Fan Scene site and I spotted these dates. They are saying that the average price is about $25 per ticket which I think is a great deal! Most of the planned shows are in March but there are a couple in February. I’m sure they will add more dates in the near future. February 02/24… More »

American Idol cutie, David Archuleta, recently sent out a message to the judges on the popular singing competition which I first spotted on the J-14 website (thanks to Nikki of Junior Celebs!). It was, of course, an adorable little video with David telling Randy Jackson that he misses all the “dawg” comments, thanking Paula Abdul for all the nice (but weird) things she said about him, telling Simon Cowell that he’s very cool even… More »
This is it! The last look back at a previous season of American Idol before the new one begins!!! Are you ready? Are you excited? The seventh season ended with the battle of the Davids as young David Archuleta went up against the more experienced David Cook. It really was a hard-fought battle with Archie delivering some incredible vocal performances while Cookie dished out riskier ones. In the end, Cook’s gambling paid off and he was… More »
