American Idol Season 6: The Top 12 Bye Bye Barba

Last night I was clearly not on the same page as America.

Last night I was clearly not on the same page as America. I only got 1/4 right. I wonder how America could possibly think that Sundance was worse than half the guys that made it through? As for Antonella, I am shocked yet relieved. That said, I bet this isn't the last we see of her. I'm thinking the girl will get her own reality show, perhaps on E! or VH1. Tell us, who were you most surprised to see voted off? Also, with all the crazy Frenchie vs Antonella controversy, many are asking, is Idol fixed?

Moving on to an even better reason to watch AI for the rest of the season - Helping Africa! I will no longer sit around and ask why people are not making it to the next round. I will start voting like crazy especially on April 24th when Idol Gives Back! Idol has jumped on the Africa Bandwagon and we think it's great. Here's more about how Idol and its sponsors will be helping out:

On Tuesday, April 24, the Top 6 finalists will sing songs that can be considered “Life Anthems.” In keeping with the IDOL GIVES BACK theme, all the songs performed will be about compassion and hope. After the performance show, viewers will vote for their favorite contestants via toll-free numbers and text messages, as usual. On this special night, however, viewers will also help change the lives of the truly needy. For every vote cast, AMERICAN IDOL sponsors Coca-Cola and AT&T, along with a range of additional partners, will donate money to the charity.

"American Idol" Top 12 Predictions: How Did You Do?

It definitely wasn't my best year for predicting the top 12 on "American Idol".

It definitely wasn't my best year for predicting the top 12 on "American Idol". Only seven of my picks actually made it through to the final dozen. Some of you, however, did much better: Four people who filled out our ballot correctly guessed the fate of 20 out of 24 potential Idols. Pop also came in ahead of me by figuring out what would happen to 18 of the contestants.

The one prediction I thought for sure I'd get right was Antonella moving into the top 12. She's gotten more press than any "Idol" contestant at this stage of the competition (especially if you count "near-nude photos" as "press"), not to mention the push from Vote for the Worst. What happened? Did America finally start voting based on talent? Or was the competition rigged to get rid of her early, especially in light of the Frenchie controversy?

My top three — Blake, Stephanie, Brandon — are all still in, but if I could do it over, I'd substitute Melinda for Stephanie and Chris Richardson for Brandon. What about you? Who's your new pick to win it all?

"American Idol": Here's Our Top 12!

Well, one of our great national nightmares came to an end Thursday on "American Idol" — but another just kept rolling.

Well, one of our great national nightmares came to an end Thursday on "American Idol" — but another just kept rolling. It wouldn't be a major "Idol" elimination without some controversy, and Thursday night had its share of surprises.

Snap Judgment: The "American Idol" Girls

Is there any chance there will be a male "American Idol" winner this year?

Is there any chance there will be a male "American Idol" winner this year? (OK, besides maybe Blake?) The girls are just a thousand times more exciting to watch than the guys, and even though not every performance was a winner on Wednesday, at least they were lively.

I think tonight's elimination might have an unpleasant surprise, though — Antonella doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and that means another more-deserving singer will be sent home in her place. If you think you know who's gone, fill out this ballot, and to see who I think is out, read more

Glenn Beck Is A Loser

Way to show your ass while inviting a tabloid editor to show hers!

Way to show your ass while inviting a tabloid editor to show hers! I had to look this loser up to find out who would be so rude as to ask a young female editor, who's talking about AI Antonella Barba's internet nudie pics, whether she'd like him to film her some time. Grow up, you tool! (Excuse my uncharacteristic lack of subtlety...haha.)
