The Baltimore Sun blog Reality Check is doing a much better job than I am summarizing the show, and it also covers Big Brother and other reality shows.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s American Idol Blog rates performers on the grade scale.

The Seattle PI’s Sharp Stick blog has some hilarious photoshops and this interesting bombshell: “YES, as confirmed by my behind-the-scenes AI contact, the performance shows at this point in the competition ARE pre-taped. Currently, the boys are singing for their supper on Saturday, the girls on Sunday. Do I think some transparency of this fact would have been appreciated by the general populus [sic] before Joanne’s tongue trippage?”

American.Idolblog.com has links to the original songs on iTunes, the number to call to help your favorite contestant, and photos.

AI - I’m the One That You Want has lots of pictures and videos along with a recap.

The phillyBurbs American Idol blog provides lots of commentary and ranks the contestants in order.

The Snark Raving Mad blog is a million times more… snarky.

USA Today’s Idol Chatter blog is rather snooze-worthy.
