(S07E29) Well, this is what you've all been waiting for, right? What's that? Finale? Yeah, I guess that'll be cool, too. But if you've listened to Ryan all season then you know TONIGHT is really what it's all about! If you're looking to find out who got eliminated by vote last night you're going to have to wait until tomorrow. But if you're looking for two-and-a-half hours of entertainment chock full of celebrities and song and charity, then you're looking for "
Idol Gives Back."
Last year's inaugural edition was very good, and
Kristin's report of the Idol Gives Back taping from this past Sunday was also very positive. We don't have any pesky (non) eliminations to deal with like last year, so just kick back, donate and enjoy. And, if you want, join us online and chat about it in real-time with other giving
Idol fans.
You can join the chat starting just before 7:30/6:30pm CDT by following this link. Look for the full episode review right here later tonight.Continue reading American Idol: Idol Gives Back 2008

This week,
Martina McBride will be coaching the remaining seven
Idol finalists with their country music selections. McBride, considered the "Celine Dion of country music," will also perform her Top-5 single "Anyway" during Wednesday's live results show (April 18) on FOX.
Oh boy, this is going to be a rough week for me. I'm not much of a country music fan, so the songs aren't going to be familiar (unless they all perform Shania Twain or Faith Hill). The contestants already butchered Latin-themed music last week, under the guidance of Jennifer Lopez. But, I have a feeling that this week could be worse.

Now that we're five seasons into
American Idol, NBC has realized that it's a
ratings powerhouse. And
it wants in on some of that action. So, NBC is bringing another European singing contest across the pond (
American
Idol was based on the British
Pop Idol). This time, it's the
Eurovision Song Contest, which
launched the careers of Celine Dion and ABBA. Yeah, it's been around for a bit. 50 years, to be exact.
NBC
will begin its search for talent online to find singers from each state. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as
this online talent competition
that NBC has planned for this summer because NBC does plan to air most of the
Eurovision Song Contest on its
network. Just like on
Idol, voting is up to the viewers. Let's just hope they don't make Celine a host.
