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.)

Having Already Conquered the World, "Idol" Takes on McDonald's
Mamas, if you don't want your babies to grow up to be "American Idol" worshipers, you might want to steer clear of McDonald's for a while. Starting tomorrow, "Idol"-themed toys will be showing up in the kiddos' Happy Meals. Among the options: a teensy microphone, a non-functional fake iPod, a rockin' star-shaped guitar, and sunglasses — because obviously, the "Idol" hopefuls are too bright to look at without shades."American Idol" Elimination: See Ya, Sanjaya!
Y'all, what are we going to talk about now?
Sanjaya — he of the ponyhawk, the creepy smile and the possible deal with the devil — ended his "American Idol" reign of terror on Wednesday after giving one of the only truly boring performances of his "Idol" career. No, I'm not kidding.
"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.

"American Idol" Elimination: Haley Heads Home
It was going to happen sooner or later, but this week turned out to be Haley's time to go on "American Idol.". Good thing, too, or she might have come out naked next time around. She seemed prepared — after all, she'd been in the bottom three almost every week — and I was happy that she kept her composure enough to have fun with her final song.
"American Idol": The Top Ocho Salsa (Sorta)
Can we all agree that Latin Night was a terrible idea for an "American Idol" theme? While I enjoyed seeing J. Lo as the guest coach, the rhythms of Latin music aren't terribly easy to pick up on short notice.
"American Idol": The Final Nine Try the Classics
Seacrest called Tuesday's "American Idol" the night of legends: Tony Bennett and Sanjaya Malakar. Personally, I feel dirty even having to say those two names in the same sentence.
"American classics" night was a lot like the songs themselves: sweet, but a little dull.
"American Idol" Elimination: It's Curtains for Chris S.
Our 'fro-headed wisecracker is gone! Chris Sligh was voted off "American Idol" on Wednesday after he failed to really nail a performance in the finals. As much as I hate to agree with Seacrest, his assessment of Chris as one of the most clever "Idol" contestants was dead-on, and I'm sorry he won't be around to lighten the mood during performance shows anymore.
"American Idol" Top 10: Rockin' With Gwen Stefani
You'll never hear me say this again, but I actually wish "American Idol" had been a little longer last night. Gwen Stefani dropped by to get the crew to sing songs by No Doubt and artists who had inspired her, and she seemed like a great guest coach. Unfortunately, since they were powering to get through 10 performances (plus banter) in 67 minutes, we didn't get to hear much of Gwen working with the singers.
