OK, I’m on the record predicting an Idol finale featuring Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips. Jessica had an off night on Wednesday.

And, as of 10 a.m., the deluxe version of the album is number two on iTunes’ most downloaded list before Tenacious D’s “Rize of the Fenix.” Now, here’s what the critics are saying. Oh, I think you could say there’s not a whole lot of consensus on…
Jimmy Iovine said last week he has no idea who will make the Idol finals. That it’s simply too close to call. Well, Wednesday night, the final three contestants will get three chances to set themselves apart. Each will perform a song of their own choosing, a song Jimmy has chosen and a song the…
If you hear a few fewer vocal hijinks on Adam Lambert’s new Trespassing album, take it as a sign that he’s matured as a singer. If you hear lots more funk … well, that’s by intention too. Adam talked about a wide range of topics — from gay marriage to bullying — during a candid…
