American Idol: Why Traditional Marketing?s ROI Is Increasingly Questionable
2009-10-10 11:50:00 It's taken a singing competition to underscore the importance of measurable ROI. Last month I pointed out how mobile marketing really boosted the success of American Idol (whose parent company, FremantleMedia, is a mobileStorm client), much more so than traditional marketing. Specifically, I pointed to the record numbers of voters--the majority ...
Ellen DeGeneres Talks With Ryan Seacrest About ?Idol? Judging Job

Ellen on American Idol - Yes!
2009-09-10 20:53:00 Fox scored big this time with the ultimate replacement. Paula Abdul is out; Ellen DeGeneres is in. Check out Maureen Ryan's "The Watcher" article on the switcheroo. As much as I claim not to like American Idol, I watch the show every week, grumbling about how tired the script is. The formula: audition, embarrassment, tear jerking human interest vignettes, and "you're going to Hollywood." But I keep watching and listening to mediocre singers around the U.S. Pathetic, yet entertaining. Ellen DeGeneres: PR Newswire Ellen will add a spark to the line-up with her brand of "comedic" sharp-tongue, dance moves, and her daytime audience in tow. She and Simon will probably have a wonderful chemistry and I can't wait for her...
Is Ellen DeGeneres the right choice to judge 'American Idol'?
2009-09-10 05:24:00 Would Ellen DeGeneres be a better judge on "So You Think You Can Dance?" Ellen DeGeneresInstead, the talk show host with a habit for hoofing will join "American Idol" in January as the fourth judge, replacing Paula Abdul on the panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. I guess "Idol" was never completely about the music, was it? DeGeneres will bring the funny, and she'll likely be the voice of America when it comes to her opinions on the music. She is, after all, a fan. But she's a fan with little or no musical background. Fox and the "Idol" producers probably see higher ratings and dollars signs with DeGeneres onboard. She's one of TV's most popular personalities....
Ellen DeGeneres Is The New American Idol Judge
2009-09-10 04:11:00 It’s official; Ellen DeGeneres will be the new fourth judge on American Idol. The comedian has signed on as Paula Abdul’s replacement. According to a just released video, she will sit alongside Randy, Simon, and Kara.I think she could bring some fresh new spunk to the show—plus she’s freakin’ hilarious. I doubt she has the musical know-how that Paula had, but Ellen does claim to be a major fan of the show. Here’s what she had to say about the new gig:"I've watched since the beginning, and I've always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I'll save from not having to text in my vote."She says she’ll be the people’s voice on Idol, and won’t look at the singers from a music producer’s point of view, but from a fan’s perspective.Here’s a video about Ellen DeGeneres on American Idol:The announcement that Ellen will be the new American Idol judge comes several weeks after Paula Abdul tweeted that she wouldn’t be ...

Clay Aiken vs. Adam Lambert
2009-08-23 02:01:00 Clay Aiken blogged about why Adam Lambert sucks and American Idol judges need to stop being so biased and choosing a winner before viewers are able to.Clay didn't have to be so harsh. Here's a small excerpt cause Clay's rant is extremely long:I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing "Ring of Fire" and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening!Clay is totally the kind of dude who can't even kill an effing spider. If Adam's voice is so frightening, everything probably scares him. So not hot! Plus, considering that Clay was dropped from his label, the queen is probably a little bitter. Time to step away from the keyboard.

Dear American Idol
2009-08-10 15:37:00 My husband and I went to the 2009 concert tour on Saturday night. We are both big fans of your show and tuned in when you debuted on June 11, 2002. Since then we have watched every season, been to numerous tour concerts, and have much of each season's music uploaded to our iPods.You might say we are hooked.I have loved that this is a show I can watch with my kids. They sometimes like to judge the performances themselves and pick their favorites to win.My oldest son has even attended a past concert with me. I also look forward to taking him and my younger children to future shows.Well, I WAS looking forward to it, until Saturday night.Most of the night was wonderful. The singers were great and my husband and I were enjoying ourselves.Next up was Adam Lambert. Now, I am not a huge fan of his. He's just not my cup of tea. I believe he is more of a Broadway type singer than an American Idol. I think his singing ability is fantastic, but he is just too over the top for me.Apparently, b...
