'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 9 Premiere Recap: Zombies, Gerbils and an ExorcismThu, 24 May 2012 19:05:33 GMT
Between American Idol, The X Factor, The Voice and America's Got Talent, TV is full of singing competitions and heartwarming sob stories from contestants. But So You Think You Can Dance is in a class all its own.
The New 'America's Next Top Model' Voting System Makes No Sense, but has Hilarious Side EffectsThu, 24 May 2012 16:47:00 GMT
As you may have heard, in honor of Tyra's shiny new Harvard diploma, cycle 19 of America's Next Top Model is going to college. And it's also going democratic. To an extent. Allegedly.
But I don't think they taught a Polling Systems course at that two-week rich-people sleepaway camp that Tyra's been calling her Harvard "business school" experience, because the new online voting system for cycle 19 seems to make absolutely no sense, and it's hard to see how the "votes" can have any impact on the way the show plays out -- unless Tyra and her producers entirely change, and potentially ruin, the way their show plays out.
And seeing that the show is in its 19th cycle, and that the CW has already moved Top Model to Fridays in the fall -- the network's version of putting a show in hospice -- it seems a bit late to completely upend the entire system. (Then again, Tyra already got rid of the heart and soul of ANTM, so why not break its legs and reverse its spine as well?)
Here's how the new voting system, which went operational today, claims to work:

The Singing Battle Continues: 'Duets' Judges and 'X Factor' Sound Off on Rival ShowsThu, 24 May 2012 15:03:20 GMT
For a long time, there was one major singing competition show: American Idol. Then last summer, NBC's The Voice joined the U.S. screen with relative success and later in the fall, Idol's Simon Cowell attempted to bring his British franchise The X Factor stateside. This year Idol and The Voice went head to head, inspiring comparisons and an inevitable rivalry for the top spot in the reality singing genre. With ABC joining the popular category with its new show Duets (premiering tonight) and Cowell rebooting X Factor with new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato for its second season, the competition amongst the competition shows is getting heated - and the new judges on the block aren't afraid to defend their latest crop of shows.
'Bachelorette' Castoff Joe Gendreau: This Season is More 'Surreal' for the Men Than for EmilyThu, 24 May 2012 14:07:00 GMT
Time waits for no man ... even if he puts an allegedly everlasting wish in the Love Clock.
That's the lesson we would have taken away from The Bachelorette if we were Joe Gendreau, the unsuspecting gentleman who got the heave-ho from Emily Maynard on Monday's episode, after accompanying her on what he probably thought was a perfectly lovely first date to the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia. They rode in a private jet! They swam! They shared their deepest wishes with the ancient, all-knowing Love Clock!
But it was all for naught, as Emily revealed that she and Joe weren't meant to be, denying him the rose and his wish in one fell swoop. Sorry, Joe. Maybe next time?
Joe spoke with the media in a conference call yesterday, and didn't sound too broken up about that unfulfilled wish. Here are some of the highlights from his call:

line: "Mom?"

Wednesday night's American Idol finale had its fair share of guest performers. Aerosmith, Chaka Khan and John Fogerty all visited the show - and stopped by afterward to talk with me.
The finale of American Idol season 11 was full of special performances from the Top 12 as well as a few of the judges and other musical guests. Here are my rankings for the best and worst numbers from the final results show.
It's official: Phillip Phillips is your next American Idol. Here's what he, runner-up Jessica Sanchez, and music producer Jimmy Iovine had to say after the results were announced...
American Idol welcomed back some familiar faces for the season 11 finale, including Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams from season 10. Here's what Haley, Casey and more had to say before the show's big finish.
This week on Revenge, will this be the moment we've all been waiting for? Will Emily get her revenge, or will she be too busy trying to help Nolan?
Hundreds of performances later, it has all come down to this. Season 11 of American Idol will crown a winner tonight, after two hours of complete, star-studded nonsense. It is so evident to me that Phillip Phillips will win, that I have decided to view the entire finale episode as a party for him. Nigel Lythgoe's desperate bid to keep Phillip Phillips happy. See this? It's all for you, Phillip!
Phillip had the far superior Winner's Song, and therefor a better lasting impression on the voters. As though people didn't know who they were going to vote for before they watched the final performance episode! But maybe it swayed some people to vote who might not have voted for anyone otherwise. I know I certainly fell under the spell! So now we sit back and relax as our fallen heroes perform for us one last time this season, then see if Jessica Sanchez can maintain composure.

This week America's Got Talent sought out The Big Apple for the best talent. While there was the usual assortment of mediocre dance groups, singers and generic performers, there were a few acts that stood out - either because the talent was of such a high caliber or the uniqueness of the act (or both). Amongst acts like a 21st century ventriloquist and a guy brutally, repeatedly smacked in the nuts, here are some of this week's standout talents.
Many bad people have felt the wrath of Emily Thorne throughout Revenge season 1. But some have suffered more thoroughly than others. In this slideshow, we assign a grade to each of Emily's acts of vengeance.
Predicting American Idol this season has been nearly impossible.
Jessica Sanchez almost went home during the Top 7 and now she's in the
finale. Colton Dixon and Skylar Laine left the competition before Hollie
Cavanagh. And despite being the judges' overall favorite, Joshua Ledet
couldn't even make it to the end.
Dancing with the Stars season 14 has found its new Mirror Ball champions -- Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd. So what contributed to this win? Here are 5 reasons.
