Ryan asks us seriously, “What happens when you mix the most talked-about singers in the nation with some of the most influential songs in the world?” Um, I don’t know, sheer mayhem? “Tonight, the music of Motown. This is A-MER-ican Idol!”
The judges appear from behind the curtain, an...

“Is your favorite through? Take nothing for granted,” Ryan warns us as he walks past the darkened line of the twelve who performed last night. We are live, and Ryan announces that the show got an unprecedented amount of votes: 24 million, which is almost 10 million mo...

It’s the big night in Hollywoodland: the remaining 54 contestants will be whittled down to 36 to return as semifinalists and let the voting public decide if they love them or hate them. There’s an insanely fast montage of everyone performing that makes my eyes roll back into my head, and then just as fast we’re at the judges’ mansion, which is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.

The next American Idol!" and pointing to what I assume is her daughter, who looks horribly embarrassed and knocks her mom's hand down.
