		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knew the past Idol season would be dramatic&#8230; but there was even more drama and news than anyone thought possible. 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. (It&#8217;s not a good sign, though, that in a show [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technically, there are still two weeks left in the season. However, whatever the outcome two Wednesdays from now turns out to be, some conclusions are pretty clear. This season is ready to stand beside the likes of Seasons Three and Six in the roster of infamous Idol seasons. The list of crimes this season committed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow, Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis singing I Told You So was strangely appropriate. Far and away the consensus pick to go home was Michael Sarver; instead based largely on DialIdol and song age I made the call that Alexis Grace would end up in the bottom. My only mistake was to believe that Alexis&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a season where the main complaint has been blatant manipulation by the producers and judges, the hyped &#8220;twist&#8221; to the rules involves&#8230; increased influence by those same individuals responsible for causing the Idolsphere sudden bouts of anger and annoyance. I couldn&#8217;t make this up if I tried. For those who missed the results show, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll have more on the results show much, much later but I have to put this up right away. The Idol wildcard was going to be a bad idea to begin with, and the specter of producer manipulation was hanging over everything like a faulty chandelier. Now, this may sound like bragging, but: I told [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was an interesting results show. I freely admit to being more than a little surprised Michael Sarver got through to the finals; I thought he was definitely in the mix for the wildcard, but not in the picture for the third slot. Obviously, I was wrong. I&#8217;ll do something different this year for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My, what a difference a year makes. Last year, the Idol franchise was not exactly in the best of shape. Jordin Sparks had not exactly been a hit, the tour was disappointing, and ratings were not quite where they ought to be. Thanks almost entirely to the efforts of the two Davids, things look a [...]]]></description>

As our Twitter feed says, our initial reaction was nothing short of wow. After a little reflection, though, the more this exposes [...]]]></description>

Now, I haven&#8217;t talked much about them because they were still at the rumor stage, and I wanted something more solid before talking about it. Now, though, Ken Warwick has talked about these changes, so [...]]]></description>
