  • Body As Evidence
    Chapter 1 Pop Goes Democracy Mediating Race, Gender, and Nation on American Idol Parallels between presidential elections and the hit TV series are not hard to make. Indeed, they had become punch lines in comedyAmerican routines: Idol from Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert complaining that it took too long to determine the next American Idol (in a gag that had audiences assuming he was referring to the next U.S. president) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel quipping that, after watching the vice presidential debate during the U.S. presidential campaign in 2008, he “voted four times for Sarah Palin and six times for David Archuleta,” in reference to the popular Republican vice presidential candidate and frontrunner contestant that year. Interestingly, movie critic RogerAmerican Ebert Idol’s mounted criticism against Palin for being “the American Idol candidate,” in which he argued the following: I think I might be able to explain some of Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s the “American Idol” candidate. Consider. What defines an “American Idol” finalist? They’re good‑looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they’re darned near the real thing. There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show! . My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well‑traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq.

  • Kevin Covais Will Be Offering His Thoughts on This Season's Idol Performance Episodes Exclusively for Usmagazine.Com
    Idol's Siobhan Stands Out "Like Snooki's Pouf" on Top 12 Night Wednesday – March 17, 2010 – 9:31am Season 5 finalist Kevin Covais will be offering his thoughts on this season's Idol performance episodes exclusively for UsMagazine.com. In the time since his 2006 run on the show, Covais appeared in the films College and Labor Pains, alongside Lindsay Lohan. When he is not in the recording studio readying new music, Covais works with the Diabetes Research Institute. He lives in Los Angeles. Here is Kevin's first blog entry. With the first Top 12 performance round kicking off last night, the American Idol stakes are officially raised and the contestants under a pressure like you couldn't imagine. I can't help but recall my pulse racing right before I hit the stage four years ago around this time. Ah, what fun it was! But I digress. See photos of the singers vying for your votes this season! We start off theme weeks with a band that is a bit before my time, but undoubtedly one of the best ever: The Rolling Stones. And I must say, when comparing last night's show to some of the lackluster semifinals weeks of the show thus far, I found myself quite excited and impressed when it was all said and done. My biggest issue the past few weeks has been song choice, but it appears that having a theme was a blessing in disguise for this very unique, talented group. I don't know that there was a single song choice I didn't agree with last night.

She had success with it in 1988 when John Hughes used it in a critical scene in his She’s Having a Baby and again when it was released as a single in 1989. Then Maxwell released his amazing male version of the song, which led to its use in the incredible dance tribute to breast cancer awareness on So You Think You Can Dance Countless dance acts have sampled or covered her songs, among them Utah Saints, E-Clypse and Blue Pearl, and she has also pene- trated urban music. Aside from Prince, Tupac Shakur was a fan, US nu-soul singer Maxwell did unspeakable things to “This Woman’s Work,” while OutKast’s Big Boi is a raving devotee who has consis- tently haggled for a collaboration which has, sadly, yet to emerge Japanese singer ACO covered this song on her 2001 album Material In 2009 Greg Laswell recorded this song on his EP Covers In 2005, the song peaked at #3 in the UK Official Download Chart due to it being featured in the Tamzin Outhwaite drama Walk Away and I Stumble 7 Octover, a Singapore electronic duo released their self-titled album in 2013 with a cover of “This Woman’s Work” In March 2013, the English folk trio Lady Maisery released a cover version as a charity download, with proceeds donated to the charity End Violence Against Women.
