Adam channeling Elvis?

Pretty sure it wasn't 'Unforgettable,' anyway

You can't hurry Scott

Judges changing their tune?

"You ARE one of the front-runners in this competition," Simon tells Matt Giraud, taking pains to put into English what Randy seemed to be saying a few moments earlier. Which is that, no matter what you may have read elsewhere, the judges have NOT made up their minds. No, indeed. Not with weeks and weeks to go. Sure, they still seem convinced a boy will win -- though it's going to be a long night of Motown, and they could still change their minds, on that, too. But, hey, maybe that boy doesn't have to be named Adam. Or Danny.

What they say when Simon says...

We're getting ready for Idol 2009!

Buzz Aldrin was just here for National Geographic, talking about a show called "Live From the Moon," but the afternoon's most endearing celeb is Georgia, one of the 22 fighting dogs rescued from Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael V

At last, a winner!

David Hiltbrand — Thu, 22 May 2008 14:13:43 GMT

Well, that was a surprise, wasn't it? I mean I had predicted in this space that David Cook would prevail but I assumed the margin of victory would be closer. 12 million votes? That's a landslide.

But the victory for Cook was well-deserved. A

The Winner!

Well, that was a surprise, wasn't it? I mean I had predicted in this space that David Cook would prevail but I assumed the voting margin would be far closer. 12 million votes? That's a landslide.

And well deserved, judging by the contrasting

So dude, dude, listen up. How do we create two American Idols of equal, album-selling strength this year? Tell you what. We push and shove David Archuleta into the winner's circle, no matter how

Slap Punching

David Hiltbrand — Wed, 21 May 2008 14:11:40 GMT

I'm guessing we all agree that Fox waaaaaay overdid the boxing match metaphor last night as the two Davids faced off for the penultimate episode of American Idol.

But it was nice to have Jim Lampley there to add his, um, bromid

Still haven't found what I'm looking for...

Ellen Gray — Wed, 21 May 2008 02:59:49 GMT

...but I'm pretty sure that won't matter to the millions who even now are making Little David Archuleta the next "American Idol."

David Cook? He leaves with his integrity intact, unwilling to repeat himself just to win the right to

Imagine that, Cook goes forward, Archuleta looks back

Don't you love Andrew Lloyd Weber? No? "They've got to sing it as if it's their very, very last night on the show," he observes. Master of the obvious, he's ready for a judge's chair.

"The World I Know"? How many other pe

Phew, now I disagree with Simon Cowell.

Jonathan Storm — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:43:52 GMT

Was Cook's guitar hooked up? Don't matter, Dog, 'cause he was singing his face off. Redundant Randy can still be cool.

Archie stunk up the joint. That song could be his downfall.

Whoever wins, I'm excited about that "Fringe&q

Oh no, I agreee with Simon Cowell

Jonathan Storm — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:23:56 GMT

How can they never have been in the bottom three, if there are only two left? And is it wrestling or boxing? Isn't supposed to be singing?

You wouldn't mistake David Cook for Bono.

And you wouldn't mistake Paula for anybody anybody pay

Idol and wrestling -- puhfect together

Jonathan Storm — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:04:33 GMT

This kind of overblown self-importance, "the biggest showdown in show-biz history," is one of the main things that has been turning people off this season. It's neither the biggest, nor the best.

The Suspense

Can anybody even stand it? Will 8 p.m. never come?
