I remember the magic we all felt during the first season of American Idol and watching Kelly Clarkson win it all. But as the show went on, it lost that loving feeling. So much so that this is the final season.
Now almost 15 years later, Clarkson is about to give birth as the show that made her a star is about to die. Before both of those things happen, she graced the Idol stage one last time and sang her song Piece By Piece. A song with so much emotion and heart, that not only wasn’t she able to complete the song because she broke down crying, so did several of the judges, the contestants, the audience and me. It was like that scene in The Natural when Robert Redford hit it out of the park. Instead of sparks raining down, it was tears.
This is American Idol. Too bad the current singers aren’t creating a moment like this. Maybe if they were, the show wouldn’t be ending. But it is, piece by piece.
Remember when Clay Aiken was on The Celebrity Apprentice and should’ve won but didn’t. Instead he came in second behind Arsenio Hall? Well, tonight Donald Trump came in second and American Idol’s runner-up had a message for his TV his boss. He said, “Hey @realDonaldTrump, remember that time you made me come in 2nd place? Doesn’t feel good does it? 😉 I do still love ya, but #karmasabitch.” Booya!
It might’ve taken him almost 4 years to get his revenge, but I am sure it tasted just as sweet!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLYNHICiH00 Clay Aiken decided to watch American Idol yesterday for the first time in a long time and he had some choice words about the new judges, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr on Twitter.
Below are his Tweets:
Watching @americanidol for the first time in a decade. You never know what you’ve got til it’s gone. #idolpremiere
Well… now I know why the ratings are down. 😴
Oh good Lord… those boring ass responses from the judges!? Where is Simon when you need him!? That guy need a hook to pull him off stage.
It’s VERY clear now that @SimonCowell was the reason @AmericanIdol was a hit. I’ve watched root canals more entertaining than these judges.

Now that #Raleigh has shown out and these judges have put me to sleep! I’m changing over to watch my girl @tyrabanks on @black_ishabc
Then he explained his Tweets:
When your favorite team that you’ve cheered for for years happens to play a shitty game, you’re absolutely allowed to be upset about it.
We’re all more critical of the things we care about most.
When you really love something you only want the best for it, and you have high expectations from those you know are capable of it.
Does anyone disagree with him? I gave up the show when J-Lo joined it. I know we are not alone because the numbers kept dropping every time they added one of the current judges. Which eventually lead to the show getting cancelled after spending many seasons on top of the ratings charts.
They never should have let Simon Cowell go. The original judges knew talent and that is why no contestant has been a chart topper since the King of Mean left.
Simon Cowell is known as the King of Mean, but you would never know that about him from this arfdorable photo. The America’s Got Talent judge posed with his 3 puppies in front of the Christmas tree and Santa Claus moved him from the Naughty List to the Nice one after he saw it.
Seriously, doesn’t he look warm and cuddly here? You would never guess that he is the judge we love to hate!

We know that Carrie Underwood likes to let Jesus take the wheel, but yesterday she let James Corden do it when she took a ride with him to do Carpool Karoake on The Late Late Show.
Since the CBS late night host is new to the United States, Country Music is new to him. He asked the American Idol winner to take him shopping, so that he can look like a Country star. He put on some snake skin boots, a Cowboy hat and a leather vest. Then he asked the salesgirl how much it all cost, and he hit notes that only Carrie can hit. The shoes are $800, the hat is $200 and the vest is $2,000. $3,000 for all of that? I’d rather be a Rocker where you can get a whole new look for 1% of that! Rock on!
And that is exactly what they did when they got back in the car to see who could hold a note longer. Poor Carrie lost that fight, but the hills will always be alive with her even though they let her down in that car.
One note I forgot to mention is that I love when she admitted that she finds it hot when her husband, Mike Fisher, knocks out another player’s tooth during a hockey fight. I am totally down with her on that. It is totally hot! It’s the only reason to watch hockey!
Lastly, am I the only person who wants Underwood to release an album of all Wham! covers?
