Major Cuts Coming on American Idol

Besides contestants who sent themselves home before we even got a chance to vote them out (I’m looking at you Kaya Stewart, who totally left Fire hanging, and the mysterious 26th contestant who left, making room for Paige Anne), last week was our first chance to vote for the 26 singers on American Idol.

She’s scrappy and clawing her way to a better life for herself and her daughter. How can we not be on the sidelinesContinue reading “American Idol – Top 5 Hollywood Performances”
