		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s been awfully quiet here in Idol Guy land, but then again we are right in the middle of the Idol silly season. There isn&#8217;t much of substance to take about. (And before you write: yes, I know the tour&#8217;s still in progress. And that David Archuleta just put out his new single [...]]]></description>

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 him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normally, the top 3 episode makes for the most compelling night of the year for Idol fans. Above-average singing, the tension of &#8220;who&#8217;s going to end up in the finale?&#8221; - 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 - 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>

Unfortunately, the only thing it inspired us to do was nap and put off writing this article. It was perhaps the most lifeless episode we&#8217;ve seen so far this season, with singing that ranged from [...]]]></description>
