American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

Top 10 American Idol Alumni Songs

  With the live shows starting soon, the time will eventually come for me to start commentaries on the contestants. In preparation for that, this is a list of some of the most notable songs from successful (or at least successful enough) Idol alumni. 1 song per artist. #10: Spotlight - Jennifer Hudson   Now I've already spoken about my dislike for Jennifer Hudson. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my "Movie Performances Of Broadway Roles" list. Spotlight was one of her first singles after her days on American Idol . This song is pretty much pure R&B in my humble opinion.  From the beat to Hudson's vocals, the song SCREAMS R&B. Also, keep in mind that I never said I disliked this song, this is actually one of my favorites on the list. Of course, that doesn't mean I have to like the artist. This is definitely not one of the more notable songs to come out of Idol alumni, hence the reason this song is so low. But someone has be in ...

Plankton Review

  Saving Bikini Bottom  kickstarted a series of spinoff movies centered on other characters aside from Spongebob himself. Sheldon J. Plankton is our next subject. In this film, Plankton and Spongebob find themselves having to save the world from Karen after she goes berserk having had enough of Plankton's inconsiderate nature.  Plankton was remarkably better than Saving Bikini Bottom . It's nothing amazing but it does show improvement. I like that we got a backstory on Plankton's history with Karen, It really added complexity to their relationship and even provides some incite on Plankton's obsession with the Krabby Patty formula. The music was decent, not great but not bad to the point where it got annoying or mediocre (unlike Moana 2 ). The ridiculousness of the music just worked. I also like the animation and lack of live-action characters (I'm looking at YOU Wanda Sykes😒). In terms of flaws, we did not see much of Spongebob 's recurring cast with the except...

Big Releases For April 2025

  Easter is almost here. And so are these movies; A Minecraft Movie - April 4 This is most likely gonna crash and burn considering this film is in a situation similar to Snow White  being that people are complaining about it for simply existing. For good reason too, the movie looks incredibly stupid. Jack Black is not a particularly intelligent man, most of his projects are stupid and this is no exception. I have no intention in losing braincells over this and I will not be surprised if this tanks with the box-office or the critics.   The Amateur - April 11 I originally was not going to speak on this one, but I kept seeing more and more commercials on it. I'm relatively mixed on whether or not I wanna see this as well as the possible reaction to critics and audiences. We'll see how I feel once it comes out, but I will say it's a no for now.   Drop - April 11 Drop actually looks kind of cool. I've been seeing promos on it for a while and critics are already recommendi...

This Is Billboard

  Today's Billboard;   Bed Chem - Sabrina Carpenter I don't love this, but I did find this surprisingly clever. This song is also catchy enough to catch your ear, similarly to Espresso  (which isn't a surprise considering they're on the same album). This isn't as good as Espresso , but I do recommend it.   Deserve To Win - Tamela Mann I do have relatively high expectations when it comes to Tamela Mann due to my respect for her. This was decent enough. Tamela has done a lot better than this (last year's Working For Me  for example), but I can't really say I'm disappointed.
