You have to wonder what happened to American Idol in Chicago. Were the judges in a bad mood? Was the talent really that sparse? Only five females earned golden tickets. But, hey, it’s a talented quintet. And the Chicago auditions produced one of my favorite contestants from season nine — singer/songwriter Crystal Bowersox. Here are…
Eighteen gals received golden tickets during the Boston auditions. And while we’ve heard from some impressive singers from that episode of American Idol, contestants like Ashley Rodriguez and Katie Stevens, I’m stunned we haven’t seen more of others this season.

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi says she senses a possible Adam Lambert effect on season nine of the show. “I think people were interpreting songs from the get-go in Hollywood Week.
