Lee DeWyze: What Happens When “American Idol” Crashes
I didn’t watch a lick of it, but it’s pretty common knowledge that the most recent season of “American Idol” wasn’t exactly it’s best. Everything from shoehorning Ellen DeGeneres in as a fourth judge to extreme apathy on the part of Simon Cowell has been blamed.

The NBA and "American Idol": Is the Fix In?
