		<description><![CDATA[This time last year, American Idol was entering what could be charitably called&#8230; a difficult period. A year later, and things are about as different as they could be. Season Ten did supremely well, and Simon Cowell&#8217;s overhyped X-Factor wasn&#8217;t exactly what people thought it would be. Just about everyone else in the Idolsphere has come up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Schedules have a funny way of working out. On the same week that the Season 10 tour ended here in the Philippines, Simon Cowell&#8217;s much-awaited (or, at least, much-promoted) show, The X Factor, premiered in the US. So as the final steps of this season&#8217;s Idol journey ended, viewers at home were provided with what Simon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Country singers on Idol tend to go two ways. Most of them tend to&#8230; overstay their welcome and leave long after they really should have. (Two shining examples: Kristy Lee Cook and Kellie Pickler.) When country produces a contender, though&#8230; everyone else really has no chance. Hell will freeze over before we get full Idol [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expectations for this week&#8217;s finale really depended on if you liked country music or not. I didn&#8217;t expect a brilliant final competition show, but historically finales have not always been that great. What we got&#8230; was cheese. A lot of it. Finalist home videos and a visit from a doctor? (More on that little publicity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before Haley Reinhart firmly established herself with songs like Bennie and the Jets and Rolling in the Deep, the word I used to describe the season was: frustration. Frustration with contestants who had not improved; frustration with lousy judging, frustration with a season that had not lived up to its full potential. With Haley&#8217;s exit, [...]]]></description>

There was no single standout performance that elevated someone the way Heartless did, but neither was there really a performance that was so bad as to send them back home [...]]]></description>

It was the sound not only of Randy&#8217;s and J-Lo&#8217;s heads exploding, but the sound of the Idol bus running into the buzzsaw that was the angry &#8211; and motivated &#8211; fanbase of one Haley Reinhart. We&#8217;ve had occasions when busing a contestant [...]]]></description>

We ended up with an episode that caused the phrase &#8220;thrown under the bus&#8221; to fly around the Idolsphere and Twitter with such frequency, we ended up with a gigantic pileup. And rightfully so. It&#8217;s one thing to bus [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early in the season, I was rather optimistic about the judges. Here&#8217;s what I said: The new judging panel seems to be working out quite well &#8211; none of them are as useless as Ellen was last year, J-Lo is figuring out a way to be supportive and not sound Paula-nuts, and Randy is settling into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of people have said that the guys have had the advantage this year. When the history of Season Ten is written, that may well be the case &#8211; but it sure as heck wasn&#8217;t the case this week. The ladies took risks, and there&#8217;s no other way to say it: the guys got owned [...]]]></description>
