Michael Lynche was almost voted out American Idol 9 five weeks ago, but he was saved by the judges. And let’s not forget how he was disqualified back in January, at least according to the media, which spread a rumor

The May 26 finale of American Idol has been given 127 minutes to announce the winner, but it’s unlikely that will be enough time. Variety reports that “Fox has confirmed that the Wednesday, May 26 finale ..

“You guys don’t love Wednesdays,” Ryan Seacrest pointed out to the contestants during last night’s results shows. Although they dislike Wednesdays because one of them hast to go home, and I like them because we get one step closer to the end even if we have to drag out the process of moving toward the end of the season, at least we all agree.

American Idol’s ratings and buzz are down significantly, but it’s making money and may do better next year thanks to the economy, and that’s pretty much all that matters.

(It’s one thing to schedule a long episode, so DVRs can be automatically adjusted, and another to just run over..

Last week’s Ryan Seacrest-as-Crystal-saving Superman story was odd: a TMZ story credited Seacrest with convincing Crystal Bowersox to stay in the competition, and then E! followed up with the most ass-kissing story I’ve read all year, one that even quoted Seacrest giving himself credit. Basically, he used a low moment in Crystal’s experience to make himself look good. As the presumed front-runner, she’ll probably be able to handle any negative backlash (and speaking of that,…
