Reality Rocks 2011: 'American Idol' Season 9 alumni on the power of blogs
Twitter
GoogleAt Reality Rocks 2011, the "American Idol" panel touched on a lot of different topics; highlights can be found here. But we thought one subject that came up deserved to be singled out - the subject of blogs.
Moderator Shirley Halperin asked Season 9 contestants Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Michael Lynche, Tim Urban and Paige Miles if they read the blogs (which they are advised not to do) and how it affected them.
Tim Urban, who blogs were not particularly kind to during their season, says, "You realize that the blogs are there just to pick apart your performance. They're not there to say what you did well, they're just there to point out what you did bad."
We aren't sure we totally agree with that assessment. When we recap the show here at Zap2it, we try to mention the good and the bad. As far as Tim Urban goes, we did criticize him quite often, but we also wrote really nice things, like on Elvis week when we wrote, "By far this effort was Tim's best performance of the competition. He managed to put a new spin on an oft-covered song. Tim sounded on pitch and current ... Tim finally turned in a (dare we say) great performance? He certainly did go from 'zero to hero,' as Simon said."
So perhaps it is that the Idols search out their press, but the only comments that stick with them are the negative ones? It's an interesting discussion. Watch the videos and let us know what you think in the comments.

Does anyone even how Stefano feels. Everyone is so shocked and outraged its like saying Stefano you suck. Bottom line if you don't vote this is what happens and I fir one am pissed that the judges are so insensitve to act like they were just stabbed and left Stefano to handle the outcome. HANG IN THERE STEFANO you are a good singer and deserve to be there.
Hang in there STEFANO. You did the best this week.
