Idol Chatter & Voice Views

American Idol is back at it, posting videos designed to give us insight into our favorite contestants from Season 11.

The most recent series: The contestants in 60 seconds, chock full of all sorts of interesting information such as their favorite day, season and ice cream flavor.

OK, a couple of the questions go deeper than that.

For those, and for those of you out there who don’t have time to track down all these videos, I’ll post a couple of blogs hitting the highlights.

(The links attached to each name will lead you to the contestants’ performances since the voting began, plus a couple of pre-Idol videos in most cases)
