Some great performances on American Idol tonight, right? Just imagine how good the night could have been if the show had allowed all the contestants to sing within their comfort zones.

That’s right, Casey James. Casey went on to finish third on American Idol that year, right behind Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox….
Each judge has 12 contestants. Tonight they start to pair them off as the field of 48 gets whittled down on The Voice. You know, I don’t mind the swiveling chairs on The Voice. In fact, I wish we could put Randy Jackson in one on Idol and spin his away from the TV cameras…
UPDATE (7:30 p.m.): Well, folks, Carrie’s slow tease is over. Her complete album cover, revealed piece by piece the afternoon has been revealed.
