Last night, I had the pleasure of watching the new show on Travel Channel, Dig Wars. I assumed it would be much like Storage Wars where participants compete to find the biggest booty of the day. As the name suggests, the nation's top treasure hunters convene on one historical area and proceed with metal detecting their way across the landscape...

Will it be Candice Glover or Kree Harrison?  Last night, our two American Idol finalists competed in the first all-female finale since Idol's third season.  So, who won the night and earned the crown?  WBKR's Idol expert, Steve Thompson, chimes in . . .

Here at WBKR, we thought we had it all figured out.  We just knew that Candice Glover and Angie Miller would be battling it out next in the American Idol finale and that country girl Kree Harrison would finish the season in third place.  But, then, America voted and delivered a huge surprise.  Our Idol expert, Steve Thompson, explains what may have happened!

Candice Glover.  Kree Harrison.  Angie Miller.  One of those ladies will be the next American Idol.  One of them will finish this season in third place.  Last night, our remaining Idol hopefuls took the stage and performed three songs a piece with one goal in mind . . . making the Idol finale.  So, who stepped up?  Who, as Randy Jackson would say, is really "in it to win it."  And who ma

And then there were three!  Last night on American Idol, Amber was sent home leaving us with just three contenders for the title: Kree Harrison, Candice Glover and Angie Miller.  WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson called in this morning to chat with Moon and me about the final stretch . . . and that awesome Twitter feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey!

On Wednesday night, Ryan Seacrest hinted that this week's American Idol results show would feature a twist.  However, as WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson explains . . . it wasn't must of a "twist' at all.

American Idol's version of the NCAA Final Four is underway and our four remaining contestants were singing for the Final Three last night.  It was a night of big voices, even bigger disappoinments and an odd shift in judges' opinions.  What did WBKR's Idol expert, Steve Thompson, think about the show?

A lot of country fans were shocked last night when American Idol revealed that Janelle Arthur was one of the bottom two in this week's voting.  But, the country starlet was rescued by the fact that Burnell was the lowest vote-getter and was sent packing.  Now, six contestants remain and our Idol expert Steve Thompson looks ahead and handicaps the remaining hopefuls.

No ballads!  That was the order from the producers of American Idol last night as the Top 7 too the stage and belted out some of the biggest songs of rock and roll.  Who raised the roof and who was pulling up the rear?  WBKR's Idol expert Steve Thompson was tuned in and shares his weekly rankings!

Seven contestants remain on American Idol and odds are looking more and more like this is most definitely a girl's year to win.  Of the seven contestants remaining, five of them are female and just two are male.  And, let's be honest, Idol has had far more success with its female winners than it has its male champs anyway.  Is any Idol out there putting up the sales numbers and topping the charts

And then there were seven. On last night's American Idol results show, bilingual crooner Devin Velez was sent home and our Idol expert Steve Thompson was tuned in for all the drama . . .

It's a tried, tested and true American Idol theme.  And, last night, our remaining Idols, like so many in seasons before them, took on the songbook of Motown.  So, how did they do?  WBKR's Idol expert was tuned in and shares his thoughts about who will coast through to the Top 7 and who will be up for elimination.
