		<description><![CDATA[This is my seventh season of watching Idol, and my fourth year writing about it. Rarely has there been an episode that left me scratching as much as the guys did this week. One guy stood out, but the rest&#8230; it&#8217;s hard to describe. It was a confusing mix of the good points and the [...]]]></description>

The rest of the field, though&#8230; it&#8217;s quite up for grabs. Some who were good one week can stink the next &#8211; and vice versa. That was clear from this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There isn&#8217;t much to analyze this week as far as the results. None of the four boots sang well, and in the semifinals that&#8217;s usually enough to get you kicked out eventually.
What&#8217;s much more interesting to talk about is what&#8217;s shaping up to be a pattern of the would-be Idols this year &#8211; changing up [...]]]></description>

This week&#8230; we got some great performances. For the first time, I felt that someone in this top 20 might actually deserve to win the title.

		<description><![CDATA[Some starting pitchers do well on short rest. Maybe it&#8217;s something Idol should try it more often &#8211; this week was a huge improvement for the guys from last week. Of course, given that last week was solidly in the land of the trainwreck, just an average episode would have been an improvement.

		<description><![CDATA[Controversy and shock exits are part of Idol. Usually, however, it takes a few weeks for something in that department to happen. This year? Surprise right out of the gate.
Let&#8217;s break down all the boots. Ashley Rodriguez was something of a surprise, but largely because I read the tea leaves wrong: I put her safe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The preseason buzz had the girls being worse than the guys this year. Based on last night, we&#8217;d have to agree. That might have less to do with the girls being good and more with the guys being utter disasters, though. Wednesday night was one of the most cringeworthy episodes in recent memory.

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, the first actual competition night of Idol has not been a great one. By that standard, the top 12 girls actually did fairly well &#8211; sure, there were a couple of trainwrecks, a few middling/forgettable songs, but overall it was a respectable effort. Certainly, it went down smoother than last year&#8217;s opener, or the [...]]]></description>

Paula leaving, Simon declaring this is his last year, Ellen joining the team&#8230; turnover is a wee bit high at the Idol judges panel.

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 put [...]]]></description>
