Hey! New top 12, new set, new opening sequence, new dizzying camera angles, new rights to the Beatles songbook. American Idol is truly on! Before Tuesday's performance show, I wasn't sure if the Idol contestants taking on the Lennon-McCartney songs for the first time would be awesome or blasphemous. While there did seem to be a few singers who took the legends' names in vain, most of the Read more
In some ways, it's kind of funny that American Idol makes such a big deal out of who makes it into the top 12. There's no real prize for it; you don't get to go on tour or anything. I guess you get to make Ford "music videos" and do more group sings, but are those rewards, really? Nonetheless, the top 12 is always a milestone in any Idol season, and on Thursday we learned which of the 16 people Read more
American Idol announced its top 24 last night, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for irrational predictions! Last year, Pop and I faced off with our snap judgments about which of the 24 semi-finalists would make it to the finals, and we had so much fun taunting each other about it that we decided to do it again this time around. This year's a little tricky because we've hardly seen Read more

We're down to a dozen contestants on American Idol, and the theme this week was for the top 12 to each pick a song that was released the year they were born. Aside from highlighting how painfully young some of the potential Idols are, it made for an interesting challenge. Let's go over how each of the contenders did this week, and let me know what you thought of each performer by voting! Photos Read more
After the crop of male semi-finalists worked the stage on Tuesday, last night was all about the ladies on American Idol. The judges were a bit harsher with their feedback this time (rightfully so, in some cases), but some of the girls really gave it their all. Read on for my thoughts on each contestant, and vote for the ones you think should move on to the top 10. Read more
American Idol is finally in the performance rounds, and this week the guys kicked things off, taking the stage and showcasing a variety of different songs. From Brett's "Light My Fire" to Jordan's awkward spin on Usher's "OMG," there's plenty to discuss. Only 10 of the top 24 will be moving on from this week, so let's talk about the guys before we have to say goodbye to at least a handful of Read more
