American Idol: Top 12 (or, top 3 women and everyone else)
I thought the success of "House" was supposed to make all these crushingly-padded two-hour shows a thing of the past. Wha happen? It's Diana Ross Night, which I suppose is a step up from Stevie Wonder Night in that we haven't heard so many

American Idol: Your top 12, America
Well, that was pleasantly surprising. Two elimination night posts as usual at NJ.com, one on Antonella and the others being eliminated, the other breaking down the top 12. Take a look, then come back here to comment.

American Idol: Top 8 women
Wow. I hate to agree with anything Randy Jackson said, but when he's right, he's right. It's like a different show when the girls come here, man. Tonight's episode clearly established not only who the top six women should be, but who

American Idol: Top 8 guys
I'm underwhelmed. Were you underwhelmed? The final guys' night of the semi-finals featured only one really terrible performance -- by a person who, unfortunately, won't be going home -- but also lacked a single performance suggesting any of these eight men deserves to be in

"Rob is not Jesus"
Mailbag column this morning, including a brilliant Oscar host suggestion that will never come to pass, plus a little more on my "American Idol" equation, which I realize I should have excerpted here when it ran on Friday, so here's the relevant portion: I've

American Idol: No, Leslie, they just don't like Nina Simone
Double the "American Idol" pleasure over at NJ.com, first with a general look at the eliminations and (though Antonella-prismed glasses) how it remains better to be bad than mediocre (I even came up with an equation of sorts), then a look at other elimination show minutiae, including

Comments on all the performances are over at NJ.com, and if you want to read me go off at length on Antonella being an idiot, that's at NJ.com, too. Then come back here to comment.

American Idol: Top 10 guys
A week after the guys were so terrible that even Paula was struggling for compliments, someone backstage obviously reminds Ryan and the judges of the whole mandatory gender-split thing, leading to an entire evening of declaring the men much-improved, whether they are or not. Ryan congratulates Jennifer Hudson on her

Idol: When good things happen to bad singers
A few brief thoughts on the "American Idol" results show (which, God help me, I'm professionally required to watch at least until Antonella and Jared are gone) over at the NJ.com blog. Since several people have expressed displeasure with how hard it is to register

American Idol: Sweethearts dance
Now I remember why I didn't recap the "American Idol" semi-finals last year. Way too much chaff, not enough wheat. But since I sat through the whole damn thing and took notes, might as well go forward. Don't know if I'll have

American Idol: The great unknowns?
This morning's column previews the "American Idol" semi-finals: Okay, freak show's over. Time to get onto the actual competition portion of "American Idol." But before we do, I have an important question to ask: Who are these people? What a strange and
