American Idol Recap

Recap and review of Season 7's Neil Diamond night. Yeah, it's a little snarky, just like you like it.

Wednesday night on "American Idol," the Top 6 contestants performed songs (some of them, duet-style!) from the songbook of the legendary Carole King. So how did this six-pack of "Idol" contestants do? Let's just say it was a tapestry of good music!

Underneath the layers of cheesetastic producer manipulation, "American Idol" gave us some solid Top 9 performances of classic rock tunes.

Simon Cowell has left the building and to some viewers that may be a good thing. Or is it? Problems that the absence of Simon reveals.

With some unusual contestants, mixed signals from the judges, and bizarre editing, the "American Idol" auditions in Austin were...odd.

Who's the right American Idol, the right chair judge that is? Simon didn't move from the right chair for 9 years. Randy was always on the left, the ladies and guest judges stuck somewhere in the middle. All puns intended. Mix it up Idol!

On American Idol, I was underwhelmed with Lee DeWyze's performances last night and it is a shame.

This is a recap of American Idol Top 6 Performance Night.

What was the theme, who was the mentor, who sang what, what did the judges think, what did I think? It's all here.

Paige Miles delivers worse vocal of the season, she struggled with the song and the pitch. Michael, Crystal and Siobhan had star moments.

American Idol takes a chance to highlight some relatively young stars - David Cook, Orianthi, and Kesha. Bottom three - Paige, Lacey and Tim - who went home this week?

What did this year's top 10 idols sing, and how did they perform? My thoughts and the judges.
