American Idol is hyped as a showcase for great vocalists who could be hitmakers. That's dishonest. American Idol, most of the time, is a showcase for hot people who want your attention. And I confess: Some of them deserve it! Today I'm counting down the ten hottest dudes ever to take the Idol stage, and I'm offering pictorial proof too! Warm up your vocal cords and prepare to sing out in ecstasy, y'all.

Ok, let's make a pact: If we forget the unnerving, deeply troubling scandal that erupted around season four Top 24 competitor Mario Vazquez (which forced him to drop out of the competition), we can simply admire his boyish, sweet looks like a nicely blended oil painting. His cover of "I Love Music" is deeply underrated, by the way. Listen to that. Not the creepy other stuff.

Jermaine Jones is apparently out on "American Idol."
The 25-year-old vocal instructor from Pine Hill, N.J., tweeted Tuesday night that he no longer would be on the Fox singing contest.
The Hollywood Reporter said Jones tweeted, "Awww I will no longer b on the show." His Twitter account has since been deleted.
A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter or confirm his tweet.
TMZ reports Jones will be kicked off during the Wed., March 14 broadcast. He allegedly hid a criminal record -- an incident involved violence -- from producers who then confronted Jones on camera. In addition to hiding his criminal past, TMZ said Jones lied to cops by giving them fake names after arrests.
Jones reportedly has outstanding warrants.

Los Angeles (AP) -- Jermaine Jones is apparently out on "American Idol.'' The 25-year-old vocal instructor from Pine Hill, N.J., tweeted Tuesday night that he no longer would be on the Fox singing contest. He wrote on his official "Idol'' Twitter account: "Awww I will no longer b on the show.'' The post and Jones' official "Idol'' Twitter account were later deleted. A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter or confirm his tweet. The so-called "gentle giant,'' as he was dubbed by "Idol'' host Ryan Seacrest, was among the show's viewer-selected top 13 finalists after the judges gave him a last-minute spot among the 11th season's top 13 male semifinalists. He was among the bottom three vote-getters last week after performing Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off My Feet'' but advanced to the group of top 12 singers. "Idol'' contestants in the past...

The ninth season of "American Idol" marks the return of "Idol Gives Back," airing on Wednesday, and last week to get ready for the big night, former "American Idol" finalists from around the country volunteered at food banks to help support Feeding America. At the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Et caught up with Amy Adams (season 3), Didi Benami (season 9), Kevin Covais (season 5), Chikezie (season 7), Mikalah Gordon (season 4), David Hernandez (season 7), Kimberley Locke (season 2), Latoya London (season 3), Brandon Rogers (season 6) and Elliott Yamin (season 5). "It is important for us to be here because hunger is a real issue in America. A show like 'American Idol' can help bring so much attention to the issue. I think people tend to forget about it, especially in these times. Everybody is feeling the pressure of the economy and there are even more kids out there who don't have food," Kimberley tells Et.

As part of the ramp-up to "Idol Gives Back," past "American Idol" contestants are volunteering at food banks around the country.
One of the charities receiving the "Idol Gives Back" aid is Feeding America and in addition to donating money, the past Idols are helping with the Feeding America backpack program.
The idea is that children have food during the week when they are in school, but once the weekend comes around, they might be going hungry. These backpacks are filled with nutritious things like apple juice, tuna, milk, mashed potatoes and spaghetti and meatballs. The kids can pick up the backpacks on Fridays and return them on Mondays, then pick them up again the following Friday and so on. Also included in the backpacks are informational packets about nutritional food.

"American Idol" had to wait seven seasons before they got the rights to use the songs of Beatles greats John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
And while Kristy Lee Cook proved that "Eight Days a Week" was not meant to be a country song, "I Saw Her Standing There" proved deadly for David Hernandez.
The Lennon/McCartney theme is back for Season 9, with the Top 9 performing songs from the duo next Tuesday (April 7).
Can't wait to see if anyone can come close to David Cook's take on "Eleanor Rigby."

I’d like to open Tuesday night's (March 2) "American Idol" recap with a short excerpt of a screenplay I'm working on, which is loosely based on what I think might have happened backstage Tuesday. It's called "Bower Power."
Int. CBS Studios, backstage.
The Top 10 men are hanging out. A producer enters with purpose.
Producer: Crystal Bowersox is really sick. Doctors say she can't perform on "Idol" tonight. So you boys are going to sing in her place since we're willing to sacrifice all of you in order to save one of the season's breakout stars. Get into wardrobe, you pitiful excuses for "Idol" contestants. You're live in three hours.
Alex Lambert: [vomits, weeps, craps pants simultaneously.]
Tim Urban: It's okay, Alex. Just pray. That's what I do.
Jermaine Sellers: [puts down his vocal humidifier] Yeah! Jesus is my homeboy!
Cut to Heaven.
Jesus: [shakes head, sighs] I miss season eight.
Jesus presses play on his iPod, listens to Danny Gokey...

Though it's probably no consolation, Chris Golightly has plenty of company in the ranks of "American Idol" hopefuls who've been disqualified from the show after making it through the grueling Hollywood rounds.
Golightly was cryptically Dq'd from the show on Wednesday — despite appearing in the group shot of the top 24 near the show's end — after producers determined that he was "ineligible" to continue in the competition. According to reports, the former foster child was unable to clear up a discrepancy about a former contract and was replaced by floppy-haired Tim Urban at the last minute. No mention was made on the show about the disqualification, nor about the rumored elimination of burly personal trainer Michael Lynche, who appeared to make the top 24 despite reports...

Something very strange is going on with "American Idol" this year. It's way too normal.
As the top 10 contestants take the stage Tuesday (7 p.m., Wfld-Ch. 32 ), there’s barely a ripple of controversy, compared with past seasons. Sure, there was the blip caused by the emergence of former contestant David Hernandez’s past as a stripper. And the talent contest endured a fair amount of criticism for showcasing singers who’ve had record deals in the past. But even those “controversies” didn’t have much staying power.
Where did it all go wrong? Isn’t “American Idol” supposed to be a long festival of outrageousness and scandals? Plus a little singing?
But this is an especially sedate, possibly sedated, “Idol” season. There’s no Sanjaya Malakar – a contestant who compensates for his relative lack of talent by purposely riling up viewers and judges with bizarre song choices and hairstyles. There...

David Hernandez was, not surprisingly, eliminated from American Idol last night. The past two weeks have been quite a whirlwind for Hernandez, the man from Glendale, Arizona. When the story broke last week that David had spent some time working as a male stripper at a mostly gay cabaret, Hernandez was forever catapulted into infamy. The American Idol conspiracy theorists would like you to believe that Hernandez's elimination last night was no coincidence. I'm pretty sure this is not the case, but I won't rule out the possibility that his stripping past contributed to his lack of votes. Today, David conducted a live conference call with the press. These are the highlights:
A reporter points out the irony of him being the one to take The Beatles class in college and then have Lennon/McCartney week take him out. David's first choice was actually “Let it Be” but that was already taken.

Cross-promotion is a an important part of modern advertising. I understand this. But, for the love of everything that is holy, is it necessary to pimp Horton Hears a Who while The Beatles “A Day in the Life” plays in the background? Whenever I hear “A Day in the Life” I think of John Lennon and it makes me sad that he's dead. It shouldn't be used to advertise an animated film. Ok, no more soapbox. Tonight's American Idol Results Show went about as expected – one of the two or three people who we expected to be eliminated was. Until that moment, though, we had to endure an awful group song and an Ok performance from former American Idol Katharine McPhee.
First, here's what we learned tonight: nothing. No big announcements, no surprises. Ryan Seacrest took some phone calls from fans across the country, and it was all pretty boring.

American Idol's Top 12 is about to be reduced to 11. It's the first single elimination Results Show of the season and, really, I'm not looking forward to it. These episodes drag on forever, and will especially do so now that Fox and American Idol decided to extend all Results Shows from a half hour to a full hour. So, to recap, now American Idol will spend an hour doing what could be done in five minutes. Ech. After the mildly impressive Beatles Night yesterday, these are the contenders to go home tonight – Kristy Lee Cook, David Hernandez, Syesha Mercado and Ramiele Malubay. My prediction for the bottom three is this: Kristy Lee Cook, David Hernandez and Syesha Mercado, with Syesha getting the ticket home. I'll be here throughout the episode to give live updates as the show moves along.
I can't even watch these promos for The Moment of Truth.

Beatles Night on American Idol was not a disaster. Great. This marks a victory for this crop of American Idol contestants. I only counted four performances that I would deem “poor” tonight, which was less than I expected. Speaking as a Beatles super-fan, I never understood the uproar regarding American Idol contestants performing songs from the beloved Lennon/McCartney song book. Being allowed to sing great songs is never a bad thing. Sure, there was the possibility that they would butcher these incredible songs, but doesn't that happen all the time with Beatles songs? Regardless, I was more or less pleased with tonight's two-hour episode of American Idol. I'm sure you readers will have some serious qualms with parts of my rankings below – feel free to comment and tell me where I'm wrong. Remember, these rankings are only about my favorites of the night – they aren't about who I think will be going home.

It's here: Beatles Night on American Idol. I've been waiting with both excited anticipation and sheer dread for the Top 12 to perform tunes from the legendary Lennon/McCartney songbook (I doubt anyone will do a George Harrison song – maybe “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” or “Taxman”). I have no doubt that at least a couple of The Beatles songs will be butchered tonight, but I also am optimistic that we'll hear a handful or worthy covers. The simple truth is that almost every Beatles song is a great song, which makes it that much easier for the American Idol hopefuls to concoct a good arrangement. Word on the street is that Emi/Capitol/Michael Jackson/Apple/whatever only released 25 Beatles songs for the Idols to choose from tonight. This bothered me at first, but let's be honest – they're all exceptional pieces of music and 25 is more than enough to choose from.

The Beatles are, pretty much, my favorite thing ever. As a cultural entity, there has been nothing I have enjoyed more than the music of The Beatles (In fact, if I had to name my Top 5 Cultural Entities Ever, they'd probably be 1) The Beatles 2) The 1996 Seattle Supersonics 3) Bill Murray 4) Tom Robbins 5) The 1995 Seattle Mariners). This being the case, I was a little horrified when American Idol announced that they would be doing Beatles Week for the Top 12. It could either be an absolutely appalling couple hours of television or one of the best American Idol episodes ever. As always, it will come down to song choice. So, as we've begun doing here at BuddyTV, we're going to choose the ideal song choices for each of the Top 12 contestants on American Idol's Beatles Week.

American Idol named its Top 12 last night, with four singers coming oh-so-close but ultimately falling just a bit short. Danny Noriega, Asiah Epperson, Luke Menard and Kady Malloy were all sent home during Thursday's American Idol Results Show. None of the eliminations were much of a surprise and it's safe to say that, even if any of these four had made the Top 12, none of them had any sort of chance at winning the entire thing. That being said, I felt that both Danny and Kady have the potential to be minor stars in their own right. Those two were hurt by poor song choices and the inability to find their niche quickly enough. Asiah has a good voice, but it's nothing special. Luke, I'm sad to say, probably won't be heard from again. He's a good guy, though. All four eliminated singers took questions during a series of conference calls earlier today,...

Enjoy tonight's results show, American Idol fans. Seriously, in a couple weeks you'll look back on tonight with fond memories. Starting next week, American Idol's Results Shows will go from sending four singers home to only sending one. From the Top 12 on, it's one at a time. One elimination in one hour. That means an incredible amount of filler, lots of guest performers you don't care about, and group songs we can all do without. Comparatively, tonight will be a breeze. I figure that the four eliminated singers will come from this large pool: Chikezie Eze, Luke Menard, David Hernandez, Danny Noriega, Kady Malloy, Asiah Epperson, Kristy Lee Cook and Amanda Overmyer. That's right – half of the top 16 appear to be in danger of elimination. It's wide open. I'll be here throughout the hour, giving live updates as Ryan Seacrest ruthlessly, without mercy, kicks four singers to the curb.
