    A Fantastic Top Three Go For the Mirror Ball Trophy.I admit I was sad to see Maria go, but it's hard to argue with any of these finalists. And I'm finding it very hard to predict what will happen, don't you think? So let's dig right in! 1. William and Cheryl  Read more >

    And mostly live in the past...Last night was the penultimate performance show for American Idol season 11, and I will say what I've been saying most of the season: These contestants are really quite talented, but I don't really have a favorite. How can that be? Last night's show was a good example why. Each Idol has something I really like, and something that leaves me cold. And the song choices…all season long, and last night in particular…have been really old school and played out. I mean, that's nothing new for Idol, but it has seemed more boring to me this year.  Read more >

    Four Couples, Two Dances, Two Female Stars, Two Male StarsWe're down to the wire, and this is…I have to agree with the hype…the best matched semi-final ever. They're all talented, and while I might have a personal favorite or two, I really won't be upset with any Top 3…will you?Each couple did two dances, and here's how it went down: 1.

    And not one Katy Perry song among them! The premise last night was that each Idol would sing one song in tribute to California (if there was a reason for this tribute I missed it) and one song that they wished they had written. I like that approach because theoretically it's about craft and talent, as opposed to pure treacly "inspiration". I'm not sure it really worked out that way, but I could see the possibilities.  Read more >

    Come on, they had to expect the jokes, right?This week the top 6 performed two dances: a Ballroom Round and a Threesome Round. (Sorry, Trio Round, whatevs.) For the latter round, the Pro invited another Pro (either from the troupe or an eliminated Pro) to dance with them.Here's how it went down.1. Donald and PetaBallroom Round: The Tango. He's got the intensity. He's got good posture. He's got sharp feet. He really leads. He could work on straightening his legs better when it's called for, but I enjoy his work. And his work ethic.  Read more >

    Last month's BlogHer Entrepreneurs '12 Conference is one that's near and dear to my heart, and to Lisa and Jory's. We know that we could never have sustained building BlogHer over these last seven years without mentorship, without expanding and deepening our networks, and without taking advantage of the many resources and support systems out there for small businesses. We hope this conference helps other entrepreneurs find resources and support.  Read more >

    And it's a nice crop of talented youngsters.This week Jimmy Iovine brought Little Steven as a mentor, so most of their mentoring seemed to consist of them ribbing each other and ignoring the Idols. Not sure how helpful that was.  Read more >

     At least, that's my take on how they all did.This week, after Colton's "shocking" elimination, the remaining 6 Idols were tasked with singing one round of Queen, one round of whatever they chose. Each idol had one great performance, and one not-so-great.And there were lots and lots of extremely high-heeled shoes. Seriously it really bothers me…the female contestants seem hobbled…in the Misery sense.  Read more >

    Will a Motown Queen get sent home on "her" week?This week's Dancing with the Stars was a tribute to Motown and featured performances from a relentlessly unblinking Smoky Robinson, an underused Martha Reeves, a still-got-it Temptations and a few words from an AMAZING looking Barry Gordy…seriously, where is his painting in the attic?  Read more >

    After the "Dramatic" Save of Jessica Sanchez, the Top Seven Try Again with a "Now and Then" ThemeLots of folks were surprised by last week's bottom 3…well maybe not the Elise part of it, but the Jessica and Joshua part. I wasn't that surprised, because as I said in last week's recap: America hates being told who we're supposed to love. Joshua and Jessica have great vocal chops, but they don't actually have a ton of originality or authentic vulnerability. That's my explanation.  Read more >
