Quick spoilers for tonight's "American Idol" elimination show coming up after I laugh about how the show actually ran short tonight, forcing Seacrest to vamp... So, bottom three of Big Mike, Siobhan and Casey. Big Mike sent to safety, commercial break, then Siobhan goes home. Early

Okay, this is just getting stupid now. After everyone got so angry last week about "American Idol" running five minutes long (despite only having seven performances to stretch out over an hour) and cutting off people's DVR recordings of "Glee" (and after people were

A review of tonight's "American Idol" performances coming up just as soon as I lament professional comedian Ellen DeGeneres' need to do two different "Shania Twain-as-train" jokes in one episode... First of all, Shania Twain's Canadian-ness is one of those things

It's easy to mock or complain about a lot of things "American Idol" does, and even about the length and some of the creative choices of the "Idol" Gives Back show itself in years past, but I refuse to do anything but applaud the

A review of last night's "American Idol" performances coming up just as soon as my gimmick is a carpet... At one point, this was supposed to be Teen Idol Night, and for whatever reason - maybe because mentor Miley Cyrus objected to the idea? - it

Quick "American Idol" results - and other assorted developments from the first elimination show of the season - coming right up... So, bottom three: Tim Urban, Paige Miles and Lacey Brown. Tim, unsurprisingly, sent back to safety first (we're stuck with his floppy hair for at

The "American Idol" finals began last night with the contestants singing Rolling Stones songs, and (like the comparable first Beatles Night a couple of seasons ago), the end result was surprisingly not terrible. I thought a lot of the contestants would struggle with the theme and/or be

Over at NJ.com, I ranked the top 12 "American Idol" contestants, while acknowledging the absolute folly of last year's rankings, and while appropriating the tiers concept that Adam Bonin again used today. I'm not feeling very optimistic for tonight, as the combination of
