American Idol Christmas: Paris Bennett "A Royal Christmas"
If you are looking for a more urban/R&B holiday album, you might like Paris Bennett’s A Royal Christmas. Mind you, there are tracks that diverge from Paris’ style such as "12 Days of Christmas" (which is more of a throwback to the sounds of yesteryear) and "Away in a Manager" (has a real jazz influence to me). There are some originals too so, if you enjoyed Paris on the fifth season of American Idol, you might really enjoy… More »

Canadian Idol 6 Top 3 – Mitch MacDonald
Mitch MacDonald chose “Heat of the Night” for his first performance last night for Bryan Adams week. I did not like that song choice for him nor did I like the performance. For his second song, he picked “When You Love Someone” and it was a bit better but guess what? It still sounded whiny and nasally to me. I know some people think he reminds them of Jacob Hoggard and I can kinda see that but he’s not… More »
