Which "Idol" Contestant Would You Bring Back?
Seeing all the booted "American Idol" finalists cheering on Jordin and Blake from the audience last night made me wonder: If you could have brought back one of them for the finale, who would it be? (You can let me know in the comments if you would rather have replaced Jordin or Blake.)

"American Idol" Elimination: Melinda Moves Out
In the end, being consistently good wasn't enough to get Melinda Doolittle into the "American Idol" finals. The most experienced contestant of the season was booted before the final two, making way for a Blake vs. Jordin finale next week.
"American Idol": Now, That Was Actually Good
I think Tuesday's "American Idol" performance show might have been the one I've been waiting for all season — and it couldn't have come at a better time. Singing three songs apiece, each of the final three turned in at least one pretty good performance, making tonight's elimination tough to predict. Will America vote on personality, putting Jordin and Blake in the finals?
"American Idol" Elimination: Later, LaKisha
In the end, the first person Simon predicted to win "American Idol" this season didn't end up making the final three. Early favorite LaKisha Jones got voted off this week after a few so-so performances. I don't think LaKisha ever quite matched the intensity of her performance in the first week, and a lack of versatility and an unwillingness to listen to the guest mentors might have hurt her in the end.
"American Idol": The Final Four Boogie, Bore Me
How many times have I said this "American Idol" season that things will get better once it really starts to matter? Because wow, was I wrong. It's down to the final four, and yet I'm still waiting for even one of these contestants to deliver a performance that really wows me.
"American Idol": The Top Six Rock Me (Gently)
With no rockers left in this year's "American Idol" crew, I expected Bon Jovi night to be a bust — especially once I learned that everyone had to pick Bon Jovi songs, many of which have been ruined forever for me by too many nights of awful karaoke. Surprisingly, though, I thought this was one of the better all-around performance nights on "Idol" this season, even if the rocking was mostly mild. I don't forsee any of these kids having a sparkling alt-rock career, but it was fun to watch them try.
"American Idol": The Top Six Try to Inspire
Tuesday's "American Idol" was one of the most earnest hours of television I've ever seen. From Seacrest's intonation — "This Is 'Idol Gives Back.'" — to the videos from Africa to the "songs of inspiration" theme, "Idol" went to great lengths to prove that "Idol Gives Back" is Very Important. How important?
"American Idol": Not Much Twang in Country Night
Country night is typically one of my least-favorite "American Idol" theme nights. It's not that I don't like country music — I just don't like bad country music, and amateur singers butchering the songs by attempting maximum twang certainly qualifies as bad country.
At the same time, it's always been a little awesome to watch, just because the potential for disaster is so high.
