Lionel Richie has been around since almost all of us have been alive. And we have been pronouncing his name incorrectly. I thought it was Lie-nole, almost as though it were one syllable.
However, KeKe Palmer told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that is not how he says it. He calls himself Lie+nell, so he breaks up the Li and the nel when he says it, and forgets the o.
And now that is what I am going to try to call him from now on. But since you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, I probably won’t. Even though the way he pronounces is so much more fitting for him.
Side note: I tried to find him saying it, but no such luck. I will make my friends who cover American Idol find out if it is true or not, and I will get back to you!
I am sure you have seen that meme, “You’ve seen Elf on a Shelf, but have you seen…?”
Well, Luke Bryan saw it too, and a lightbulb went off in his head. So he called his friend and American Idol co-judge, Lionel Richie, and asked him to come on over!
Then he had the Commodore sit on some shelves filled with records so that we could have Lionel on Vinyl.
I wonder if they also have a jukebox there, because then it would be Luke on a Juke. Or better yet, they can go to a zoo so we can get Bryan on a Lion. Although that might be the last thing we get from the Country star.
Every year, we wonder which judges will be returning to American Idol. And for the last few seasons, Luke Bryan has teased that he will not be returning. So did he make good on that tease this season?
Nope! ABC announced that Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood, and the Country singer will be returning to the judges’ table this Spring.
Not only that, they also announced that producers’ auditions start tomorrow and will hit all 50 states between then and throughout September. To see where and when they will be near you, then you can see the list here.
If you think you have what it takes, then don’t miss your chance to be the next American Idol!
Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood are some of the biggest musicians in their genres, but that is where their triple-threat talents stop.
Bryan shared a video of himself and the other two dancing to Montell Jordan’s This Is How We Do It, and that is not how you do it. I don’t know what they were doing, but it was not dancing.
While Dancing with the Stars is not in the future, American Idol is, as they are now back with the live shows.
Things we know about Gene Simmons. He is the singer of KISS, is married to Shannon Tweed, and has a very long tongue.
So, yesterday, when he was a mentor on American Idol, he posed with the singing competition’s judges. And if you are going to pose with Simmons, what do you do? You stick your tongue out. So, here are Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie doing just that.
That is why Simmons is known for his tongue, but they are not.
