American Idol eliminated two more contestants last night.

Lil Rounds, a frequent occupier of a spot in the bottom three, was the first to go.

Next, Anoop Desai got the boot. A fan favorite, the crooner lacked the vocal chops to go any farther in the competition.

Try to remember being 17, if that age is in your rearview mirror. Now try to imagine a talent or skill that you had in which you could go up again adults with more than a decade of experience. Imagine standing toe-to-toe with them, as well as with professionals in that field, week after week with millions watching you, grading your performance, your looks, even your nervousness…Read more

Authorities have charged Clyde Pickler, 42, who finished a three-year prison term in Florida last year for stabbing a man, with three felony counts of larceny of a motor vehicle and one felony count of obtaining property under false pretense, according to court records.

“He would represent that he had legal ownership and sold them for salvage,” said Stanly County Sheriff’s Capt. Charles Hatley …Read more

Most observers thought she was a lock to go on to the 'American Idol' finale, but Doolittle was eliminated Wednesday night, May 16, 2007. (AP Photo/Fox Television, Michael Becker)Most observers thought she was a lock to go on to the “American Idol” finale, but Melinda Doolittle was eliminated Wednesday night.

The result was a real surprise, considering Doolittle — hands down the best singer there — had the blessing of Simon Cowell. Her departure clears the way for a final showdown between Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis.

“Congratulations to you two. My commiserations, Melinda, ’cause you are one heck of a singer,” said a glum Cowell, who covered his face with his hands upon hearing the news…Read more

Jordin Finale http://celebrities.roserant.com/2007/05/16/american-idol-bettors-predict-a-blake-vs-jordin-finale/ http://celebrities.roserant.com/2007/05/16/american-idol-bettors-predict-a-blake-vs-jordin-finale/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 rose http://celebrities.roserant.com/?p=6468 While it is almost too close to call, the online gambling odds seem to weigh in favor of Melinda Doolittle being voted off American idol this week, leaving a Blake Lewis Vs. Jordin Sparks showdown for the coveted “Idol” credentials and recording contract. It’s no secret that best singer does not necessarily win the contest, and at this point the final three seems cut from the obligatory legitimate talent, Doolittle, the traditional secondary legitimate talent, Sparks, and the freaky guy with the ardent fan follow – and talent – Lewis. Seeing one of the more traditionally talented singers go down to leave it a contest of uniqueness vs. the tried and true is practically poetic.

Last year’s American Idol lineup was a much tougher crowd to siphon through. Amongst the ‘stunt’ players like Kevin Covais and Ace Young, was a large contingent of truly talented singers. This year’s Idol crop was critically lambasted from the beginning for being general banal, with few bright spots. It’s not that surprising that many gambling information websites, like EOG.com, were able to call the final four correctly very early on in the game.

So, just how close are the numbers for the final three? For the winner, not close at all, but for the winner’s challenger it is a tight race indeed. Melinda Dolittle is currently being given odds of 3.5 to 1 to win the contest. This is in spite of the fact that in a purely musical contest, Dolittle would easily walk away with the win...Read more
