    Idol Beat: YouTube Saves The Day

    So close to never having to listen to any of you ever again. At least until next year.​Here's the thing, dog: My cable went out about 20 minutes before American Idol started. A lengthy call with a Comcast tech named Edgar yielded the knowledge that there's apparently a weak signal plaguing my ... More >>

    Idol Beat: So Long, Siobhan

    ​I think last night's American Idol was supposed to be country-themed, to go along with the Shania Twain songs the contestants sang on Tuesday, but as I should have known, any organization that thinks of Shania Twain as country is going to have some weird ideas about genre. Rascal Flatts stopp ... More >>

    Idol Beat: Twice the Twain

    Yes, she's back. Again.​There's an unmistakable air of fatigue in the American Idol proceedings at this point in the season: "Idol Gives Back," which raised $45 million for worthy causes, has come and gone; the judges' save has been used; and we're down to just six contestants, which means we' ...

    American Idol: The Tumor is Removed...Eventually

    ​This is my first season of American Idol, and thus my first brush with the behemoth that is "Idol Gives Back." This is the third time the show has staged its charity event, and there were far fewer celebrities this year. The goal was ostensibly to educate viewers about the plight of the needy ... More >>

    American Idol: Idol Gives [Nickel]Back

    ​This is "Idol Gives Back" week, which means a curious mix of legitimate charity and Hollywood puffery: Money gets donated for worthy causes, but we also have to pretend like Fergie is an artist. So it made sense that the top seven contestants came down on both sides of the fence, with some gi ... More >>

    American Idol: Double-Down

    ​I realized last night that the upside of the eliminations for the rest of this season of American Idol will be slightly more efficient now that the judges have used their save. Now, when someone hits the end of the road, that's it. They're done. It's almost shocking to have that level of fina ... More >>

    Idol Beat: The Miley Cyrus Horror Ends; Joe Jonas Disses RodeoHouston

    This week's non-drama drama on American Idol dealt with the fact that 11 contestants remained at the top of the elimination episode but only the top 10 get to go on the summer tour of malls and state fairs. I'm actually not sure where the tour goes, and am probably mixing it up with large portions ... More >>

    Idol Beat: The Top Three

    Disclaimer: Thanks to technical difficulties brought about by the crap DVR capture feature of our limp-ass new cable box/provider, I missed the first 15-20 minutes of Tuesday's episode of American Idol. Please feel free to attempt to conjecture about whatever you think I would have said - had I been ... More >>
