"The State of Avril Lavigne and Katy Perry on 'American Idol.'"

Tweet By Bob Zerull

What I love about this country is that we made sure The State of the Union address didn’t interfere with “Lost” or “American Idol.” I hate The State of the Union address. I only hate it because of the immature grown men and women that run this country. How old are these people? They act like their 10 years old, stand up when they’re happy and cheer, sit down when they’re mad and jeer, it’s childish. But I’m here to talk about “American Idol.”



I said that I’d probably not write another column until Hollywood week. I lied...sort of. Tuesday night “American Idol” headed to Hollywood to look for contestants. Plus enough has happened in the “American Idol” world to talk about. This Tuesday’s guest judges were Avril Lavigne and Katy Perry; and Wednesday night, Neil Patrick Harris and Joe Jonas. Tuesday night was a much more entertaining night.



I especially enjoyed when Avril Lavigne, wearing a hoody with devil horns, was the only judge to tell a pastor who had a great voice “no,” just because he had a family. That said she was probably right. I also enjoyed the disagreements between Kara DioGuardi and Katy Perry. The show tried to make it look like they were feuding even though it was clearly playful. It was still entertaining nonetheless. Katy Perry enjoyed guest hosting so much so that she has come out saying that she’d quit her career as a performer to be a full time judge. Simon’s replacement? Don’t hold your breath.

In other “Idol” news Michael “Big Mike” Lynche has been disqualified from the competition. He made the top twenty-four and his dad leaked it to the local media that Big Mike made it…which is against the rules and apparently not the first time this has happened. Ellen DeGeneres makes her debut February 9th during Hollywood week.

For those of you who like a “Biggest Loser” update, I thought I’d let you know that another fat person was sent home this week. Also for at least a few more episodes they are still “Lost.”
