A grey-haired white dude is YOUR AMERICAN IDOL. Let us all say AMEN… Not only does the union stay strong but American Idol as we know it is finished. Taylor Hicks is the most “unholy” of American Idol picks. An aberration. A freak. A BLUE-EYED SOUL BRUTHA! Never in a gazillion years would I’ve imagined a BLUE-EYED SOUL BRUTHA winning. Not a white dude trying to sing like a black dude. But a genuine BLUE-EYED SOUL BRUTHA (you tired of me saying that?). American Idol will have to re-tool to bring back some normalcy. Gone are Randy, Simon, and Paula. In are Celine...

After watching last night’s American Idol, I called some of the Mystic Negro disciples and we had a grand ol’ discussion. We all came to a consensus: A WHITE DUDE HAS TO WIN AMERICAN IDOL THIS YEAR! Yes sir! For the first time in American Idol history, we have three strong white male singers. Not half-ass singers. Not funny, weird singers. But down to da bone singers! This the time folks. Now, I do like Katherine and I absolutely love Paris (she is a bonafide jazz gurl and that always gets me) but they sadly are women. And women have dominated AI (with the exception of...

Dean said the following about yesterday’s terrible American Idol show: Okay, so this episode sucked. I think part of it is simply that if you pick songs that have been released only in the last 5 years, then, you’re very limited. don’t know what the classic familiar songs of this decade will be because we’re still too close to it. Also, as much as people make fun of him, Barry Manilow probably helped last week, since he really is a world-class producer and arranger (entirely outside his own work, which I don’t care for, I recognize his talent). On his 2nd point, I...

…American Idol winners! This is when the show officially starts. Only 12 left, the big stage, Ricky Minor and the smokin’ band expanded… Gotta love it. I’m going to be pigbacking off of brutha Dean’s post since he always beats me to them. The theme was the legendary Stevie Wonder. Talk about a last name that accurately describes someone. Mr. Wonder has written and sung so many unique and wonderful songs that it boggles the mind. But as Prince said in a recent interview on my Sirius satellite radio, “Stevie Wonder’s songs will trip you up vocally...

It’s weird how much how like the above two female American Idol contestants. Mandisa (left) and Kellie (right) have personalities that have just grabbed me. Like Dean, I thought Kellie’s whole innocent angle was fake. Not anymore. And I don’t think it’s all about her being innocent as being extra excited about the whole AI experience (hard knock life for her). Mandisa has such a warm and inviting vibe about her. Love her to death. And Mandisa and Kellie are just so darn cute. Especially when they smile. Oh the singing… Almost forgot. Mandisa brought...
