The best, worst and most ridiculous from every week of 'Idol'

'Idol' Worship
Ah, "American Idol"… nothing that feels this right could ever be wrong.

It's season seven and the "Idol" train shows no signs of slowing down. Admit it: You know you like to watch, and we know we're not the only ones tuning in after week. But the only thing better than following the competition as it unfolds is laughing, cringing and reliving it all the next day—complete with sassy commentary, of course.

So, keep checking back to hear our thoughts and opinions, concerns for Paula, rants about Ryan and expert predictions. (And yes, we think that if you've watched every episode of every season, and you're still hanging in there, that qualifies you as an "expert.") Because picking on people is so much more fun when other people do it too.
