Big mistake by the Idol judges last night. They should have NOT used their only "save" on Casey!

Simon Cowell has announced that Island Def Jam Chairman L.A. Reid will be one of the judges on 'X Factor.' It makes sense for Simon to choose a music executive who has the experience. Simon plans on announcing the other two judges in the next few weeks...

I have picked the final two contestants that will compete in this season's American Idol Finale.  You have to read ALL my commentary on last night's performance.

Believe it or not, I have already picked one contestant that will be in the top three on this season's American Idol.  Find out who I predict to be the winner.

The auditions for American Idol seemed to drag on this year.  Coupled with the fact that there were twice as many contestants put through to Hollywood than previous years, all I say is "Finally, we have our top 24, and we can move forward."

I am so glad that Hollywood Week is starting on American Idol.  Usually, I enjoy the auditions, but this season it felt long and tedious to me.  Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez put so many undeserving contestants through at the start of the auditions, that I began to get frustrated.

Of course, American Idol is about finding the next big star that has the entire "package", voice, stage presence, looks and confidence.  However, it should not be just about the looks!

Steven Tyler was so inappropriate during last night's show that I was embarrassed  for him.  It felt so awkward when he made lewd and suggestive comments to the young female contestants.  A couple of these gals were 16 years old, seriously; he could be there grandfather!  Watch the video clip of just one example:

So, Steven Tyler stated on The Leno Show that "he has never watched American Idol".  What?
