‘Idolatry’: ‘American Idol’ has a new name…’America Hates Talent’Last call for the Rage and Shame Express! Alexis Grace got booted from American Idol this week — missing a spot on this summer’s Idols Live! tour — while Scott MacIntyre and Michael Sarver keep chugging along, ready to commit acts of mediocrity against the Motown songbook come Wednesday night.

Alexis Grace Sent Packing From American Idol
More than 31 million votes were counted after Tuesday night's country performances and the results announced Wednesday on American Idol , with Alexis Grace, considered an early favorite by many, at the bottom of the heap.

The other singers with Alexis in the bottom two were Michael Sarver (not a shock there) and while Allison...

‘Idol’ adds extra finalist spot, saves Anoop
When does 12 equal 13?

TV Recap: American Idol - Top 10 Results
Tonight is about the results and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Michael Sarver, Megan Joy and Scott MacIntyre. It’s nothing personal against these three. Megan’s gorgeous, Scott has a great sense of humor (loved his comments on those hideous pink pants someone dressed him in last night) and Michael is absolutely charming but vocally, these three continue to fall further and further behind as the rest of the group pushes onward and upward. This gap seems to emerge each season as the divi
