Filed under: Dancing With The Stars , TV Replay With their joint tour selling out across the nation, the supergroup NKOTBSB performed on the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ (Tue., 9PM ET on ABC) results show. The group was a perfect fit for the “Guilty Pleasures” theme of the week, comprised as it is of the members of New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys

This is it! After months and months of competition, the field of hopefuls has been whittled down to Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze, each vying for the coveted title of the next ‘American Idol.’ The contestants performed three songs each during Tuesday night’s final performance show — a song of their own choice, a song selected by executive producer Simon Fuller and a song that will become the winner’s first single. Unfortunately, DeWyze’s vocals were inconsistent throughout the night. He fell in and out of tune, and he was even accused by the judges of not having enough energy.

, MJ’s Take The ‘American Idol’ Top 5 tackled the songs of Frank Sinatra this week, and I was expecting so much more! The Sinatra songbook is stuffed with so many great songs, that I figured the kids would rise to the occasion, just like they did with Lennon/McCartney earlier in the competition.

Filed under: Hot Topics Now that it’s getting down to the wire on ‘American Idol,’ and considering the recent last-minute schedule shakeup this week, it’s time to vent about the obvious divide that is causing a hiccup in the competition’s otherwise smooth staging of vocal talent. Categorizing finalists based on ethnicity or sexuality would be preposterous — but not so different from what ‘Idol’ does, which is to separate them by gender. The unfair format of dividing the top 24 finalists into two gender-based groups of 12 came to a head Tuesday, when the remaining 10 men had to step up their game a day earlier than expected, switching previously scheduled days with the girls due to Crystal Bowersox’s medical issues
