Who moved you out of the 'Idol' Top 7?That was a pretty good show! Even Seacrest says that it was exceptional. America has a tough choice and it could go so many different ways. This competition is one of the best so far, I think, and I would buy music from almost all of them.

'Idol' Top 7 storm the stage9:20 p.m. – Hey Rock Mafia! They are Miley Cyrus' producers and it was funny to see Jimmy back pedal a little bit on his comment to Lauren that she can sing better than Miley. He says he just said that to "motivate" Lauren. Riiiiiight. He brings Rock Mafia in to hear Lauren sing and she freaks a little bit. For someone who the other contestants say loves to talk, she looks like she can barely speak.  Gerard Smith, back center, performs with TV On the Radio as part of the 2007 Virgin Festival in Baltimore, Maryland.

'Idol' Top 7 will keep it currentYes!!! The Top 7 on "American Idol" will be performing songs from the 21st century and I am eager. This is the theme which could go really well or really badly. Why? Because of the two most important words on "Idol": song choice. I can almost guarantee that someone is going to select a song just because they love it and it's not going to go over as well as they hope. FULL POST

'Hard times come again no more' on 'Parenthood'As "Parenthood" wrapped up its season last night, the show was all about tying up some story lines while unraveling others for next season. Last episode, Amber went completely off the rails. She was getting high at Julia's law firm with the age-inappropriate valet guy and not hiding it at all. Amber fought with her mother and drove off with valet guy, right into a drunk-driving accident. This episode opened with Sarah getting the phone call and the Bravermans gathering in the hospital waiting room. Of all the family gatherings to lose patience, Max has a meltdown at this one. He's hungry and Adam promised him pancakes, which he wants right at that moment.
