One of my favorite “American Idol” contestants–Alexis Cohen–passed away Saturday morning after being hit by a car in Seaside Heights, NJ (full story). The 24 year-old Allentown native was known for her, uh, rambunctious behavior during her “Season 7” audition. Those of us living in the Lehigh Valley were just proud that Alexis was allContinue reading “Updated::Former AI Contestant Alexis Cohen Killed in Hit-and-Run Accident”

It’s A Cook Off!

A Screechy Night on AI
Poor Simon! I think they should add me to the panel. When I heard that Mariah Carey was this week’s mentor on “American Idol”, I knew it could only spell disaster for most of the contestants.

But he seemed to have a good time and wasn’t scarred by the experience. He’s 44 and from Reno, NV so clearly he wouldn’t beContinue reading “American Idol: “We’re Brothers Forever””

Does American Idol Exploit Mentally Ill?
That’s the question on my mind today after watching the season premiere of “American Idol”, which broadcast the first round of auditions last night. Since my best friend, Sarah, seems to enjoy “American Idol” I go along with watching the show, even though sometimes it makes me wretch. Sometimes they put through some of theContinue reading “Does American Idol Exploit Mentally Ill?”
