I don’t know if it’s a last minute decision of Lord Nigel Lythgoe, but he tweeted today that tonight’s results will be decided by AMERICA. The top vote getters will not be revealed…

Also, American Idol’s Pia Toscano taped a performance of her single “This Time” this morning with Michael Orland before she took off to join the rest of the Top 11 in Milwaukee tonight for Idols Live. Stay tuned for Pia, not-live, later in the show…

In the meantime, stay right here while I live blog the results!

Coldplay Tribute to Amy Winehouse is Bittersweet

Coldplay’s mashup of Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab”/”Fix You” last night during their encore at UCLA’s LA Tennis Center, is lovely, but is like an exercise in denial. First, there’s the refusal to help yourself, followed by loved ones who think they can fix you. So bittersweet.
