American Idol: Vonzell Returned to Sender
It's crunch time on American Idol and someone had to come up short. After a long and, overall, quite wonderful tenure, Vonzell Solomon reached the end of the line. One of the most likable personalities ever to grace this competition,...

American Idol: Lights Dim for Anthony, the Fedoration of Love
A sweet song left American Idol tonight. But somehow I don't think this is the last the music world has heard of Anthony Federov. The show opened as they always do, but this time we searched the faces of the contestants...

What is going on with America...are they all tone deaf? Someone with star quality is voted out and Anthony and Scott are still continuing. I don't think I will ever watch American Idol again...it gets more ridiculous every year. The judging should be left up to professionals who really know music and what it is all about.

I agree with your sentiments ladies, but remember that surprise and outrage are part of what make the show go

It's more about the 'brand' and merchandising opportunities than music per se! A shameful pleasure.

How darn you people of America elimate Arwar so soon. He is amazing and has a unique voice. He should of been in the top two. If I lived in America he would of got my vote.
The past winners in order are:
Kelly Clarkson 2002
Ruben Studdard 2003
Fantasia 2004
now Carrie Underwood (whom shouldn't of win)
And I only agreed with Ruben Studdard, at least with Ruben as winner I hear more about my fav. Clay Aiken.

Season 5 is certainly shaping up to be a worth while watch.

I am not much of a fan of the audition round: too much emphasis on tragically deluded fools who suck out loud
