TV - VIDEO BEAT - THE VOICE result SHOCKER - JUDITH HILL ELIMINATED! - June, 2013
There is a common thread related in two eliminations that being the involvement of the so called auditing company Telescope. It is the mysterious company that lacks background or contact information on the Internet. Telescope has been involved in numerous questionable results on Idol. Since they were announced as being involved in auditing The Voice votes a couple of weeks ago the hail storm of controversy has arisen - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 2 - CANDICE GLOVER WINS AMERICAN IDOL - May, 2013
BLACK IS BACK? -Throughout the competition Glover's voice was strong possessing the richest texture, fullness, range and body. Her greatest improvement was strengthening her self confidence.

CONTROVERSY REIGNS - The hey dog man judge Randy Jackson is outed from American Idol - There is also talk that the PTB's are interested in (gooey pants) Jennifer Lopez returning to the show. If Idol wants credibility this is a bad decision given her over reaction and promotion ("I WANT YOU TO WIN!") last season for Phillip Phillips - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT - AMERICAN IDOL'S CRASH & BURN - May, 2013
NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL - We believe American Idol will give Angie Miller (votes don't count) the win and then take her publishing rights. Hopefully they won't seize her songwriting rights. She's too young and impressionable to know any better about how the music business works .. - THE VOICE is a BETTER CHOICE - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT - THE VOICE TOPS AMERICAN IDOL - April, 2013
THE VOICE IS OUR CHOICE - Following a series of questionable winners and judging changes American Idol has fallen from grace by its over emphasis on drama and making mysterious decisions. In its third season The Voice emerged as the premiere pure vocal talent show that continues in its new season 4. The Voice judges are polite and spot on with their decisions while Idol judges have applied ghetto speak that has a lot to be desired. Their target audience appears to be the intellectually challenged - CESAR MILLAN from the Outhouse to the Penthouse - Millan's rags to riches story from living under freeways to becoming a millionaire will be told on the National geographic Channel .. - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT- EXTRA Part 2 - AMERICAN IDOL IS SOS (Same ol $#!t) - March, 2013
FAVORITISM CONTINUES TO REIGN - Following last seasons debacle we swore off American Idol. We were successful but decided to tune in at key times of decision making when they selected their Top 10 and the Top 10 and 9 performances. The result being the show continues to show favoritism and focus on pimping off the popularity of their judges while shunning the talent leaving them to be a side show. The red flags are up for more of the same... - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT - DENNIS RODMAN & NICKI MINAJ ROCK TV SCREENS - March, 2013
Rodman's visit to North Korea in his effort to bring about world peace and Minaj's acrid mouth shocked viewers. Rodman was received in a positive way in accomplishing what US government officials can't in being a welcomed American guest to their country. Minaj's flippant mouth and offensive comments is in the hands of the jury but qualifies as niggerism - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT - AMERICAN IDOL'S Apparent SCAM Hurts Jessica Sanchez's CAREER - August, 2012
AMERICAN IDOL CLEAN UP YOUR ACT - This past season American Idol disbanded the guest mentors and in house vocal instructors. That was OK but having only Jimmy Iovine as in house mentor was a bad decision.

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA Part 1 - AMERICAN IDOL'S ABORTION - July 2012
THE BIAS JUDGING HAD TO GO - In their first season together it started out with good chemistry. They all seemed to get along and the chemistry and respect for each other worked. As time went by Jackson asserted himself into Cowell's lead role and started calling out the names of the judge next to critique i.e. what about you Jennifer or Steven. By the second half of this past season (their second together) you could see the disenchanted look on Tyler's face particularly following one of Jackson's long critiques and self promotions. - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT Part 1 - AMERICAN IDOL TOUR SCHEDULE - JESSICA SANCHEZ ROBBED & JOBBED - June 2012
DONE, DUSTED & BUSTED - The judge's obvious praise for Phillips was over the top and raised red flags. Phillips plays guitar enough to support his vocals it is doubtful that he is capable of playing various types of music or skilled enough to sit in (jam/guest appearance) with top notch bands that can play more than three chord changes.

NR TOP 10 - AMERICAN IDOL BURNS UP THE NR TOP 10 CHARTS TAKING 9 of 10 SPOTS - May, 2012
PHILLIPS WIN FIXED? INQUIRING MINDS WANTED TO KNOW - Unparalleled that one subject and one category has taken 9 of our NR Top 10 spots in our monthly rankings. American Idol's questionable decision making and devious behavior by the judges and in house mentor Jimmy Iovine has drawn the interest of our readers. The over the top praise while ignoring the faults of the programs winner Phillip Phillips we recognized at the Top 9 level when we expressed our concern that THE FIX WAS IN FOR PHILLIPS TO WIN. Our suspicions were heightened as the praise of Phillips continued while we were concerned about the obvious abuse to the super talented minorities in the contest Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet were being set up to fail. After we expressed our concerns and predictions all came to fruition.

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 6 - PHILLIP PHILLIPS WINS the AMERICAN IDOL TITLE - May 2012
AS WE PREDICTED THE FIX WAS IN FOR PHILLIPS TO WIN - Believe it or not Idol's host Ryan Seacrest announced that a record 132 votes were cast which deemed Phillips the winner of Season 11. It was a well panned apparent scripted season in which it was apparently decided from the start that the powers that be (PTB) i.e. the shows producers, sponsors and the television network designated that Phillips should win the contest - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 5 - JESSICA SANCHEZ GIVEN A BAD SONG & SET UP TO FAIL on AMERICAN IDOL - May 2012
THE JIMMY IOVINE PROBLEMANTIC CONNECTION - They did it again on American idol in choosing a bad song for Jessica Sanchez and a good song for Phillip Phillips. It appears our prophecy is justified that the minority contestants would be set up to fail to enable Phillip Phillips to as judge Jennifer Lopez exclaimed, "I WANT YOU TO WIN PHILLIP!" - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 4 - AMERICAN IDOLS DOUBLE STANDARD - May 2012
IS THE FIX FOR PHILLIP PHILLIPS TO WIN IN? - The stage was set to make for American Idol judges and in house mentor Jimmy Iovine to make good decisions of songs for Phillips Phillips and make mistakes in choosing material for Jessica Sanchez and now eliminated Joshua Ledet. The question is were the mistakes a plan to eliminate Ledet to send Phillips through to the final? As Jennifer Lopez said on a previous show, "I WANT YOU TO WIN PHILLIP!" - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 3 - JOSHUA LEDET WAS SET UP AND ELIMINATED FROM AMERICAN IDOL - May 2012
JIMMY IOVINE ADMITS TO MAKING A BAD SONG CHOICE FOR LEDET - The results are in and the sacrificial lamb is Joshua Ledet who was led to slaughter and his blood drained and drank after the judges and in house mentor gave him bad songs to sing that they chose. The slaughter was carefully executed by the judges and Iovine in giving the shows over promoted and tolerated Phillips songs that cast him in a good light of the public's eye - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 2 - AMERICAN IDOL PLEADS FOR THE PHILLIP PHILLIPS SYMPATHY VOTES - May 2012
JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT REAL! - THE JIMMY IOVINE CONNECTION - It's down to the BIG DAY of eliminating someone to shape up the almighty American Idol finale. With the way things have gone this season yes... we support our belief that racist attitudes trumps talent and the inferior voiced Phillip Phillips will triumph over the more talented Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet. We're as judge Randy Jackson often says� JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT REAL! - Recommended TV Listings

TV - VIDEO BEAT EXTRA EXTRA Part 1 - PREDICTION - JESSICA SANCHEZ or JOSHUA LEDET to be VOTED OFF AMERICAN IDOL - May 2012
AMERICAN IDOL TO PLAY THEIR RACE CARD? - As we noted in our previous column this will be the week that one of the shows true super talents either Sanchez or Ledet will be eliminated. The reason being is Idol and their powers that be are apparent racists and there never was nor never will be two minorities in the final two thus one of the two best singers remaining will be eliminated this week - Recommended TV Listings
