"Glee" 9 p.m. on Fox
The Glee club tackles Kanye West's "Gold Digger" and try to make it to the regionals. Entertainment Weekly says actress Jane Lynch who plays the cheerleading coach "hits more one-liners than Henny Youngman at a slow-pitch softball game." I like the musical numbers and the wacky cast of characters.

"American Idol"

Kris, you are a nice guy. But you are wrong. The right person won. The people voted for you. And they wouldn't have voted for you if they didn't love you.
I downloaded both Kris' and Adam' season singles from iTunes. I have to say while I really enjoyed watching Adam Lambert perform, I really like listening to Kris on my iPod. Kris Allen, you truly deserved to win American Idol.
You can watch some great interviews with the finalists on Idolatry at EW.com
American Idol

Okay, I am really enjoying this season of "American Idol." Here are some of the reasons:
1. I have finally started to understand Paula Adbul's gibberish. It makes sense to me. She's the Ying to Simon's Yang. She gushes, he rolls his eyes. She slurs out something, he grimaces.
2. Simon is usually right in his critiques of the contestants and the show wouldn't be as good without him.
3. The top 7 singers are really good singers -- they all have interesting, and unique voices. Lil Rounds can sing -- she just can't pick a song that suits her. Anoop is a good singer too and he seems like such a likeable guy. Matt is also a good singer but a lot of his performances are hit and miss. I am rooting for Adam and Allison but it's looking like it will be an all-male top 4.
4. Did you watch that dance number that Paula Abdul choreographed tonight? That was a lot of fun. Paula's got some mad choreography skills. Her singing voice is like a squeaky toy but the girl can dance.
Head scratching moments:
1. Where have all the stars gone? It used to be you would get a celebrity singer to come in each week and work with the contestants. What gives? Have they run out of stars?
2. Was that the best they could do for star power last night? KC and the Sunshine Band? Thelma Houston? What was Thelma Houston wearing? I think she stole Big Bird's costume from Sesame Street.
Overall, I enjoyed the show. I can't wait until next week. Allison and Adam, I'm rooting for you.
Here is a YouTube video of Adam Lambert singing. It's just a photo of Paula and Simon giving him a standing ovation but you can hear Adam. Come on Fox let YouTube post the videos.
