ABC NEWS: Sizing Up Idol's Top Nine

What do Elvis, Adam Lambert and a group of somewhat talented singers have in common?

They were all a part of Tuesday night's “American Idol.”

This week’s theme was Elvis and it had some competitors shining and some singing like it was karaoke night at the closest dive bar. 

I spoke with two expert Idol bloggers who discussed the good, the bad and the horrible. They even told me who they thought the top three and bottom three contestants would be.

ABC NEWS: N.Y.U.'s Growth Concerns Residents

N.Y.U.'s growth plan for the next 20 years was revealed by the NYT earlier this week. I wrote a follow-up blog about the story and actually corrected the NYT article (They didn't exactly get everything that NYU told them correctly). Basically, NYU is expanding in the coming years, which is concerning the residents of Greenwich Village. The official plan will be announced in April. I spoke with the Greenwich Village historical society and NYU administration and wrote a blog about the situation. The blog was featured on the 'Money' page of ABC New's site. There will be a lot of debate going on in the coming months over this issue. I really cant wait to see what happens.

ABC NEWS: Decoding Gaga's Telephone Video

This was a story that I wrote when Lady Gaga's new video for "Telephone" first came out. I talked to a Lady Gaga blogger who had very interesting ideas about the meaning of the video and then I spoke with the director of the video who had very different ideas. It was kind of an exercise in how we read things - and sometimes over read them.
