		<description><![CDATA[Idol seasons are always a marathon, not a sprint. Even by those standards, though, Season Nine has been a test. Was it all worth it? Well&#8230; for a significant portion of the Idolsphere, the answer will not have been yes. On Wednesday night, Idol sailed into uncharted waters.  Never hast there been this much uncertainty going from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, folks, it&#8217;s come down to this. Whatever else you can say about Idol this season&#8230; they still know how to get the pomp and circumstance down. It&#8217;s practically an Idol tradition. One Idol tradition I&#8217;m happy to see go away, though: the Coronation Song. Frankly, is there anyone going to miss the smooth notes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Top 3 performance night has seen some all-time classics. Bo Bice did In A Dream in that spot five years ago. Katharine McPhee followed up with Over the Rainbow a year later. Last year had Heartless. This year we had&#8230; nothing close, really. It really sort of sums up the whole season that in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re supposed to be excited getting into the Idol Top 4 episode. This year, though, it&#8217;s different. To be blunt, the season has been outrageously flat. There&#8217;s not much excitement to be had with the season coming to an end. Say what you will about Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, but it was a compelling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Idol year has been underwhelming, to say the least. This week&#8217;s episode, frankly, did little to change my impression of the season so far. It wasn&#8217;t an awful episode, but to be honest I expected much better from the top 5. I will apologize in advance for the relative shortness and lack of detail [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say that the Idolsphere is in shock over Siobhan&#8217;s exit would be&#8230; an understatement. Certainly, nothing else like it has been seen this season. And yet&#8230; well, I&#8217;m not 100% surprised. I had Siobhan in the bottom two, after all. I suspected that her fanbase was weak, but even I didn&#8217;t think it was [...]]]></description>

For us, it was one 0f the better (if not the best) weeks of the season so far, but that&#8217;s to be expected given how far we are in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Officially, American Idol isn&#8217;t a scripted show. Idol Gives Back, however, might as well be as carefully choreographed and scripted as any sitcom. The guest stars, the contestants in white, the tragic videos&#8230; it&#8217;s the same script every year. I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan of the whole IGB concept, but I&#8217;ve said enough on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Idol Gives Back night is turning into something of a trap night. Two years ago inspirational songs night wasn&#8217;t really anything to write home about. I called it &#8220;lifeless.&#8221; This year&#8217;s version? Even worse. Save for three performances, really, it was a disaster. Let&#8217;s say it: Crystal Bowersox is thoroughly outclassing everyone else this season. She [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, Adam Lambert was (in)famous for being the ultimate Your Mileage May Vary contestant. Just as many people loved him as hated him. Based on the early returns, it shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise that a Lambert-mentored night turned out similarly. Based on the early What Not to Sing numbers, well, people&#8217;s opinions are [...]]]></description>
