LOS ANGELES - If the "American Idol" judges have their way, it won't be curtains for Adam Lambert anytime soon.

Adam Lambert Gives America Ear Herpes During “Grand Ole Opry” Week
Due to the fact that this week's theme was something we here at BWE.tv don't connect with personally -- Grand Ole Opry, to be exact -- not to mention the fact that most of the performances were pretty average, there will be no AI play by play recap today. I will, however, take the time to mention the performance by Best Week Ever's favorite American Idol contestant ever... the rainbow fireworks Thanksgiving Day extravaganza that is Adam Lambert. Last night, Adam Lambert took the Johnny Cash...

Danny Gokey Or Alexis Grace To Win American Idol 2009?
Sources are suggesting what many already suspected and rumours are rife that American Idol bosses have already chosen their final four contestants.

Alexis Grace not saved by viewers, judges
After teasing Alexis Grace by suggesting they were going to save her, the American Idol judges sent her home instead. After viewers voted on the country music performances, she landed in the bottom three with Allison Iraheta, who was sent to safety first, and Michael Sarver, who made it to the finals with her during the first semi-final week. When just Alexis and Michael remained, Simon Cowell said, "We've just had a conversation -- one of them we would consider saving. After Alexis was revealed...

The Idols Chill in Portland, Maine: PHOTO
Somehow, the girls have managed to avoid the bug that has sidelined most of the boys– Kris Allen is so ill he was unable to perform in Bridgeport, CT last night. But the girls were feeling fine–well enough this afternoon to chow down on a big lobster dinner in Portland, Maine. The Top 10 will be performing a concert in this quaint New England seaside town Saturday night. A couple of band members were along for the meal, and judging by the tweets, everybody enjoyed their lobsters,...

AMERICAN IDOL 3/17/09 RECAP
Michael Sarver was up first with a decent performance of Garth Brook's, "Ain't Goin Down Til the Sun Comes Up".  The judges were not that crazy about it.  They found it fun, but missed him singing the big notes.  Simon hated it.  He didn't understand a word Michael sang! Allison Iraheta sang Patty Loveless', "Blame It On Your Heart" with her usual fine vocal chops.  The judges take was that she did a fine job, with Simon not as...

Kelly Clarkson Rips On Kanye West: PHOTO
It looks like we weren’t the only ones who were appalled by Kanye West’s Hennessy-induced rant tonight. Kelly Clarkson , who was also nominated for a moon man in the same category as Taylor Swift , has spoken out about Kanye’s actions…and she’s piping mad! In case you missed it, Kanye really stole Taylor’s moment when she won the award for Best Female Video. He said, “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!” What a jerk! She said: Dear...

Is American Idol fixed? Rumors abound the final four are already known
There’s some really horrible news floating around the Internet at the moment that states that Fox reality show American Idol is actually fixed and the final four have already been chosen. Now, it’s probably not that far from the truth at times that producers of shows will try and steer viewers in one particular way with their votes. Yes, it’s not that unlikely that - at times - if things don’t go their way they’ll fix the votes a little, no matter how underhanded...

Gokey Gets A Record Deal: PHOTO
Remember American Idol's Danny Gokey ? We almost forgot about the 2nd place loser 3rd Runner Up of last season's American Idol . The Idol curse hasn't run its course on him yet, seeing as he just signed a record deal with 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville. The label he's signed with doesn't come as surprise, considering he sang three country songs on Idol . Joe Galante, chairman of Sony Music Nashville, says they love 29-year-old Gokey's "soulful edge" and are excited about the Idol alum's addition...

American Idol Elimination Time!
I actually missed Idol last night! Why? Because my sister bribed me with a bottle of whiskey, to write a paper comparing Star Wars Episode III to Macbeth for my nephew's 11th grade English class. I wonder what the teacher will think of my drunken, third-grade level of writing? Anyway I got too wrapped up in the paper and totally forgot about the show last night. While I do enjoy watching the results show, its not that big of a deal if you miss one. You do have to sit through a lot of bull just...

Alexis was voted off by the audience leaving only 10 contestants behind for the competition.

'American Idol': Three the hard way
Sabotage! Oh, no, I'm not talking about the outcome of tonight's inaugural results show of American Idol 's season 8 semifinals -- even if two of the better contestants got booted, and are now left in desperate need of a Wild Card. I'm calling "sabotage" because whoever is producing and directing this season of Idol seems determined to drain every last ounce of genuine suspense and excitement from the show. Without spoiling the results for our Left Coast friends, let's just say...
