The number of viewers watching American Idol dipped again in 2009. Oh, Idol is still the most watched show in the land. But if Idol’s interested in making “it through the pain, weathering the hurricanes, to get to that one thing,” to prove there are no boundaries … Yuck, still hate that song. Anyway, Idol,…

The judges didn’t come out and say so Tuesday night, but you could tell they believed Adam Lambert should be this year’s American Idol. Perhaps Simon felt a little gun shy about making a prediction.

Little wonder David Cook wound up with the title, right? And here’s a…

Kris Allen? Adam Lambert? Our judges pick a winner

Don’t know about you, but I thought the Idol finale was a bit of a letdown. I mean, three performances, and not once did we get to see Adam Lambert in rock star mode. Two new performances from Kris Allen, and not once did he come close to his Week 10 performance of “Heartless.” The…

Ranking the remaining Idols: Adam Lambert the favorite in the season finale

Carrie Underwood will perform on American Idol this week, and that’s probably fitting. After all, season four, when country gal Carrie took the Idol crown over southern rocker Bo Bice was probably the last time the season finale featured such different contestants.
