10 Truly Real Moments on Reality TV
By this point, most audiences have a pretty good sensibility about reality TV shows not being 100 percent ‘real.’ Episodes are edited and aired out of order, and people often stir up drama or amplify their reactions in order to get more camera time. But when something truly real happens on a reality show, it makes for incredibly compelling television. More »

Between The Lines: Why Crystal Bowersox is Better Off Than Lee DeWyze
Grass is green, the world is round and Lee DeWyze is the worst-ever winner in the history of American Idol.
As a loyal viewer of the Fox competition since day one, I stand by that statement. Lee has some talent but no stage presence, no real of selling out stadiums like Carrie Underwood or even doing Broadway like Taylor Hicks. Tellingly, he’s the third unassuming guitar guy in a row to win the Idol title after Kris Allen and David Cook…. More »
Between The Lines: Why ‘American Idol’ Is Selling Lee DeWyze
For today’s installment of Between the Lines, our feature exploring the hidden aspects of popular culture, I will address the judges’ always-glowing endorsement of Lee DeWyze on American Idol despite Lee’s lack of stage presence, vocal power and potential to win the ninth season. Add to that his predilection for bad ’90s alterna-rock (Chris Daughtry also had this issue, but his ridiculous talent trumped his bad taste). Call me a cynic, but I don’t see a Daughtry-like future in the… More »
‘American Idol’ Blues: I Won’t Give Up This Fight
You know how you know American Idol has officially jumped the shark? Appearances by Diddy, Usher and Justin Bieber are far more memorable than this season’s contestant pool. Man, everyone but Crystal Bowersox is weak, the show is tedious as hell and the judges have nothing good to say.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: What is WRONG with season 9?
Last night, when Didi whatsherlastname got voted off, and I couldn’t care less, I came to the… More »
‘American Idol’ Top 12 Results: You Got It Right, America
Well, America, thank you for actually picking three of the weakest performers as your bottom three on American Idol this week. Just one beef: Why’d you have to wait a week to do it? On tonight’s results show, Tim Urban, Lacey Brown, and Paige Miles received the least amount of votes.
It was no surprise that swoon-worthy Tim made it out safely, and to be honest, Lacey and Paige seemed pretty interchangeable in their mediocrity. Lacey ended up getting the boot,… More »
Kara Sobs, Ellen Gets Huggy on ‘Idol’
There was lots of hugging and crying on tonight’s American Idol — it was like Paula Abdul was back!
Sadly, no. But wow: Ellen Degeneres actually jumped up from her perch on the judges’ panel to hug contestant Tim Urban for doing an impressive job on that old Idol standard “Hallelujah.” And Kara Dioguardi let her steely guard down, sobbing uncontrollably over new dad Michael Lynche’s R&B stylings.
What is going on?! Tim’s cute and all — and Michael seems like a really… More »
