		<description><![CDATA[Our apologies for the delay, I&#8217;ve had some time issues. Here it is Part 3 a little later than I promised, but here it is. Whatever people think of Season Eight, there&#8217;s no doubt that it will be an important season in the annals of Idol history. As my friends at What Not to Sing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For such a disappointing season, the post-finale time is proving to have a lot of&#8230; entertainment value. Of course, it&#8217;s the same kind of entertainment a trainwreck provides, so your mileage may vary. An awful lot of ink and bandwidth has been spent discussing just how Kris won over the &#8220;favorite&#8221; Adam. I&#8217;ll be blunt: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in February, I thought that Kris Allen had been a little lucky to win a semifinal slot outright due to the weakness of Group 2 (groupmates Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert excluded). I also said then: If Allen is a smart guy, he should take this golden opportunity and run with it. If there’s [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;ve always been bad, even though some &#8211; Inside Your Heaven, My Destiny, This Is My Now &#8211; are exceptionally bad.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, Top 3 night has given us some great gems of music. Our friends at What Not to Sing describe it as must-see-TV. However, given how things have turned out, our expectations were muted. For at least the first half of the show, those low expectations proved right on track. They ranged between [...]]]></description>

This season is ready to stand beside the likes of Seasons Three and Six in the roster of infamous Idol seasons. The list of crimes this season committed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be blunt: so far, this season has been something of a hot, wet, mess. Still, though, this was a potentially intruiging final four. There was an interesting mix of genres, they were all pretty good vocally&#8230; this could have been a good night. However, this being American Idol, what could have been rarely is.

There&#8217;s a strong degree of Your Mileage May Vary this week. Stronger, perhaps, than any other week in Idol history. The vocals of the top four were, to be honest, pretty close.

		<description><![CDATA[Conventional Wisdom had it that disco night would not go down well. After all, with the exception of Adam Lambert, none of the group was particularly qualified to handle the&#8230; unique aspects of disco music. As it turned out, however, the whole Top 7 was taking a correspondence course from the Lewis-Cook School of Theme [...]]]></description>

The judges turned out to be in a better mood than a decent chunk of America tends to be on Tax Day, and gave Matt Giraud a reprieve. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
