Bradenton’s Sam Woolf is loving his ‘American Idol’ time – Sam Woolf can’t talk much about what he has planned for his next “American Idol” appearance. When he speaks to reporters on the phone, someone from the show is on the line to make sure he doesn’t spill any secrets.

How the American Idol Judges Failed MK Nobilette – Let me just start by saying that of the American Idol-watching editors at TVGuide.com, I’m the MK Nobilette fan. Therefore, it pains me to say that she wasn’t very good in her first live performance as a finalist. I am, however, hoping she gets back into the groove. She may not be the strongest singer or most polished musician up there, but the warmth in her voice and her demeanor is very winning. MK can sell moody and dreamy like no other, and that is what gets me in her corner. Then again, I’m the kind of person who prefers Audrey Hepburn’s imperfect singing on “Moon River” to her dubbed acrobatics in My Fair Lady (sorry Marni Nixon!). – Read more at TV Guide
