I may not have grown up under the Common Core Standards, but I know enough math to figure out the following simple equation:
There are six weeks left of American Idol‘s Season 15. There are seven weeks left of Kelly Clarkson’s pregnancy. If Fox and 19 Entertainment spring for a luxury Rv to transport the original Idol winner to and from Hollywood every Thursday between now and the April 7 finale, there is no reason whatsoever she can’t upgrade this rollercoaster of a Farewell Season with her sweetly rambling, stream-of-consciousness, heartfelt and honest critiques. (And the occasional emotionally devastating performance.

I know American Idol is no longer Godzilla emerging from the Ratings Ocean and stomping all over every other network’s primetime competition, but last week’s 8.2 million viewers (and 2.0 demo rating) is pretty dang respectable.

Week one of American Idol‘s Season 15 semifinals are in the books, and my Reality Check co-host Melinda Doolittle and I have more questions than we do answers.
RelatedAmerican Idol Is Taking Away Your Voting Power — and It’s Infuriating
Why aren’t the judges giving constructive feedback to Thomas Stringfellow, Gianna Isabella and La’Porsha Renae? Why exactly was the Idoloonie Nation shut out of the voting process? Was it too dang early for All-Star duets? And what in the name of Toy Story was going on with Jeneve Rose Mitchell’s wardrobe choices?

No one left the cake out in the rain during Thursday’s American Idol semifinal results show, but producers may have yanked it out of the oven when it was still making the transition from lukewarm batter to delicious baked good.

Let’s look on the bright side of American Idol‘s controversial and unprecedented decision not to allow viewers to have any say in the outcome of its Farewell Season semifinals:

* There’ll be none of the “What is wrong with America?”/”I’m moving to Barcelona!” outrage over the Idoloonie Nation’s dubious voting patterns that we experienced, for example, on The Season 9 Bloodbath That Claimed Lilly Scott, Katelyn Epperly and Alex Lambert.
* Reduced risk of carpal tunnel syndrome due to frenetic online and smartphone voting.

In case you missed the review/introduction of our American Idol top 24 contestants from yesterday, you can find that here. The first half of the top 24 will perform tomorrow and Thursday, and it’s time to get your texting fingers ready, America. Here are your next four contestants to keep your eyes on… Jeneve Rose Mitchell, 15, from Crawford, Colorado. (She’s actually from the side of a mountain, and is officially “off the grid.” Apparently, “off the grid” means a way a life I know I could never handle. I like my TV. And I really like my electricity.) Jeneve

It’s good to know that 15 seasons in, American Idol hasn’t lost its ability to send me into a teeth-gnashing, plate-smashing, imaginary mascara-running rage.

Ok, no fine china was harmed in the writing of my Top 24 Announcement Episode recap — decade-old Crate and Barrel still beats a Dixie paper plate — but still, that’s not to say the “Final Judgment”/”Green Mile” announcement didn’t make me fantasize about the satisfying shatter of ceramic against the living-room wall.

We may have gotten past the side-eye-inducing drama of American Idol‘s Group Rounds, but rest assured, executive producer Trish Kinane and her mischievous band of editors aren’t going to let this Farewell Season run on the fuel of vocal performances alone.
Preposterous teenage “love stories,” tales of next-level bronchitis (#AintNobodyGotTimeForThat) and the weeping of the lambs all came into play during Wednesday’s final solos (aka The Holding Rooms of the Damned). Show of hands: Did you cringe after Sara Sturm said Lee Jean was like a little brother to her, but Ryan’s voiceover kept pushing them as future lovers anyhow?...

Hi, my name is Michael, and I’m an American Idol conspiracy theorist.
I live to detect (and overanalyze) every subtle dig from J.Lo, Harry and Keith, every unflattering camera angle or soundbite selection from the show’s producers, every early signal that behind the Idol curtain, an early “winner’s edit” is being fashioned from a few well-executed notes, a fawning reaction shot, some duct tape and a chain of paper clips.
