Be careful what you play this week -- it's a musical minefield out there.

I attended a briefing this past week that still has me glowing with inspiration. It was a reminder of the miraculous potential of service and the raw power of music.

I used to diet, now I "cleanse." Even though supposedly toxins don't exist, I want them out of my body. So if there is a new cleanse, I'm on it. Literally. After all, it's not about losing pounds, it's about being healthy.

The weekly topics always stay within the kids' limited range. What about standards? Hip hop? Klezmer? Just something out of their comfort zone. And if someone fails badly -- Cool! It's live TV.

Simon may be leaving the company but the rig's still in place spewing plumes of vocalists into the American star-hole, leaking into Broadway and Hollywood with no end in sight.

Andrew Garcia did well singing "Forever." But then Simon said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're boring." Uh, what exactly is the right way to take "you're boring"?

American Idol used to be a nationwide shared experience. But now the zeitgeist has "Gleefully" moved on. American Idol is no longer a phenomenon; it's a franchise that Fox will keep alive at all costs.

In what even ardent fans must admit was the least musically exciting, least dramatic finale in Idol history, Crystal Bowersox received nothing but praise.
Holly Robinson | Posted 05.25.2011
Whether it's Crystal or Lee who gets crowned on Idol this season, it doesn't really matter. Both artists have given America a reason to cry, cheer, and move on from what's been ailing us.

Lee DeWyze made a big splash with his rendition of "Hallelujah," and the video of the performance is in big demand. Simon Cowell suggested DeWyze per...

So is it clear cut that Crystal and Lee will be the finalists, or can Casey sneak in there? And is it foolish to think Crystal is a lock when last season most people thought the same about Adam Lambert?

It was movie night on American Idol. Okay, I didn't expect them to sing the theme from High Noon or Gone With the Wind, but Free Willy and Caddyshack?
Michael Giltz | Posted 05.25.2011
It was movie night on American Idol and Crystal Bowersox appeared in her own production of A Star Is (Re)Born. Any questions as to whether she would make it to the winner's circle are over.
