		<description><![CDATA[If you were with us during Season Seven, you may recall that we took a hard look at Idol song ages. At the time, I called the numbers &#8220;preliminary&#8221;. Since then, I&#8217;ve wanted to take a closer, more detailed look at the numbers. Unfortunately, that little thing called real life decided to interfere and delayed [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re also signs that whoever wrote them is a complete ignoramus about Idol. Anyone who&#8217;s watched the show and followed along with the Idol punditocracy knows that even Archuleta &#8220;winning&#8221; Tuesday night was no guarantee of [...]]]></description>

The road to the finale has had its ups and downs &#8211; but, finally, like all journeys, good or bad, it came to an end. But first, on the last night of competition, how did the two Davids do? Clive Davis tossed David [...]]]></description>

Above-average singing, the tension of &#8220;who&#8217;s going to end up in the finale?&#8221; &#8211; what&#8217;s not to like? Unfortunately, much like the season as a whole, the episode mostly sputtered to the end. It wasn&#8217;t bad, not by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve all heard, we&#8217;re sure, of the phrase &#8220;be careful what you wish for.&#8221; A week after asking for more genre-based theme, we got one: songs from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, our top 4 then proceeded to, at the very least, bobble the proverbial ball: while the performances (save for Jason&#8217;s) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s take a cue from another Fox show and do some elementary math. This week&#8217;s Idol episode was a standard, one hour show. However, when you take out all the commercials that&#8217;s more like 40 minutes or so. To be precise, this week&#8217;s episode was just north of 43 minutes. With ten songs this week, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Lloyd Webber songs are meant to get a powerful emotional reaction out of their listeners &#8211; they&#8217;re musicals, after all. This week, our top 6 succeeded in getting that from America. However, that may have had more to do with Carly&#8217;s exit than anything else. So how did the Idols play with our emotions [...]]]></description>

Mariah Carey has traditionally been given a wide berth by Idol contestants. The only person to sing a Mariah Carey song in the finals was Kelly Clarkson. The two other [...]]]></description>

It was perhaps the most lifeless episode we&#8217;ve seen so far this season, with singing that ranged from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have to admit that we approached this week with trepidation. Country weeks on Idol have not always turned out well, and news that the song choices would be limited to Dolly Parton songs did little to improve our expectations. Of course, all we knew about Dolly was she had big hair and an even [...]]]></description>
