‘Idol’ Guest Blog: Bo Bice Reviews The Finale

Thu May 27 2010 by Idolator Staff
You already know what we think about Lee DeWyze's big win on Idol. But it's about time you hear from someone who knows exactly how Crystal Bowersox feels: Season 4 runner-up Bo Bice, who was in the house for last night's results. Bo sized up the Idol Top 4 perfectly in his last guest post, and we could think of no one better to review last night's star-studded finale. (We <3 him so much we drew him in CRAYON in our special video recap.)

Bo just released his third album, the aptly titled 3, and you really ought to visit his site to hear him sing his new tune "Long Road Back". That's what a rock star sounds like. Did Bo guess Season 9's winner correctly? Head below to find out. More »

‘Idol’ Guest Blog: Bo Bice Turns The Spotlight On The Top 4

Wed May 12 2010 by Idolator Staff
The performances by Idol's Top 4 on movie night were like most of the films churned out of Hollywood—entertaining, but ultimately forgettable and not worth the price of a movie ticket, dinner, and popcorn. Are any of these singers really ready for stardom or the glare of the Hollywood spotlight? We figured there would be no one more qualified to address that question than one of Idol's original rock stars: the one and only Bo Bice.

Rising from underdog status on Season 4 (when Constantine Maroulis filled the "rocker" role early on), Bo delivered a pitch-perfect performance of Ides of March's "Vehicle" and a glorious acapella rendition of Badlands' "In A Dream," transforming him into a clear finalist.

Bo hasn't slowed down since Idol. The southern rock singer is about to release his third album, 3, which he recorded with former Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman and keyboardist AJ Croce, whose father Jim was one of Bo's biggest inspirations. Bo also recently pitched in to raise money for Nashville flood relief. We're deeply honored that he was willing to share his thoughts on Idol's Top 4 performances with us.

Simon Cowell may have just rendered the biggest judgment call of his career with his decision to bid farewell to American Idol. But what is his real legacy as a talent spotter? Before he calls in his manservants to ship his tight black shirts over to The X Factor, we decided to take a look back at Simon's best — and worst — judgments on Idol. No question, he possesses keen insight. But maybe there's also a reason the final voting is left up to America.
