I do love American Idol, but I am getting a little bored by the lip sync group numbers. It looks so fake. Is this what we can expect for the American Idol tour? Come on. Maybe they sound horrible together. Who knows. But you’d think that since American Idol is claiming they are LIVE, they [...]

Well — American Idol contestants performed some of the most popular downloaded songs on iTunes. First, I have to comment about the performing order.
