Welcome to A-Murray-can Idol!
In honor of Fox's smash-hit American Idol, Murray in the Morning presents A-Murray-can Idol... which will push our ratings through the roof, and determine who has the best pipes among the MitM cast and crew!

The premise is simple (and if you've ever seen an episode of American Idol, you'll catch on pretty quick)...
  • The 12 brave contestants (members of the MitM cast and crew) are listed below with photos
  • The whole contest will run for six weeks
  • Each week, the contestants will sing on Monday
  • After each Monday, each contestant's song will be posted on this website
  • Public voting will be open following Monday's show through the end of Friday's show (9:30 AM ET)
  • Group 1 will sing during Week 1, Group 2 during Week 2, and so on...
  • The Semifinals and Finals will be held Weeks 4-6
  • The judging panel of Bruce, T.J. and Shirley do not have any final say in which contestants advance, but they are more than welcome to contribute their thoughts on each contestant's performance.

  • Meet the Contestants...

    Meet the Judges...

    The distinguished judging panel of Bruce, Shirley and T.J.
    The winner of "A-Murray-can Idol" will ultimately be determined by your voting, but in the meantime, MitM's panel of judges will render their opinions on how each contestant fared.

    Don't miss their comments and witty one-liners during the show, as well as next to each song when it is posted on the web for you to listen to over, and over, and over...

    In addition to his judging duries, T.J. will also be providing the back-up music for each contestant on the keyboard. (If you've ever listened to "Name that Tune" on MitM, you'll feel the contestants pain)

    From the Listeners...
    Although MitM listeners can't be "A-Murray-can Idol" contestants, longtime listener and part-time rapper Manny from El Paso called in with his tribute to MitM. Check out Manny spit his mad lyrics when he rhymes "dimples" with "nipples", "rookie" with "cookie", and "the kicker boring" with "Murray in the Morning."
    Listen to Manny's rapping tribute!
