American Idol -- Top 7: Judges Silenced
Only Idol would label Movie Theme night "historic" because they had decided to only let teams of two judges comment on the performances in order to cut down on the time. Historic? No. Stupid? Yes.

NEW YORK — "American Idol" tried to end on time Tuesday, implementing a format that allowed only two judges to review a singer. Host Ryan Seacr...

On a day when photos circulated on the internet showing Adam Lambert apparently kissing a guy or two, the big news in the parallel world of TV Idol was Anoop's defensive attitude coming across too much last week.

Who belongs in the bottom three? Allison was treated so dismissively that I worry it'll be her. Matt Giraud was treated so roughly and seems so unhappy, it could easily be him.
Michael Giltz | Posted 04.26.2009 | Entertainment
Sight unseen, I'd say the bottom three is Megan Joy and Scott MacIntyre and Michael Sarver with Sarver going home.

Who hates Scott McIntyre so much that they let him walk out on stage in pink pants? I mean, that's the kind of prank you reserve for Hitler.

It was a topsy turvy peformance night on Idol, with Simon looking bored, Paula providing some cogent analysis (again), a minor stumble from Lil Rounds and praise for Anoop.

Simon just comes out and says it: 'You were awful, you looked stupid, you sounded like karaoke, that was a horrible song choice for you...' I appreciate that.

The third round of the top 36 performed on Tuesday and to me the men clearly outshone the women, who were generally dreadful or (even worse) forgettable.

So the second batch of the final 36 was much weaker vocally and personality-wise than the first group.

My biggest complaint about Hollywood Week is that I still feel like there are loads of people I don't know yet. The judges cut 147 people down to 104 and no one who was cut deserved to stay.

Aloha from Hawaii. I'm too busy hula dancing and killing wild boar to watch this week's American Idol but the show has gotten so formulaic that I think I can review it even without seeing it.

After the dearth of exciting talent in San Francisco, I was hoping Idol would come charging out of the gate with some great singing. Instead, they started off with a train wreck.

The opening montage included Clay Aiken several times, giving him as much (if not more) screen time than any other previous Idol contestant -- a nice nod to the latest Idol finalist to come out.
