The American Idol finals start tonight, which means from tonight through May I’ll be reviewing each finalist’s performance for time.com. The wizards of time.com have also assured me that, thanks to some arcane prestidigitation that surely cometh from the Devil, my reviews will be simultaneously posted here at Tuned In, so you can check in, read and comment. I’m as curious as you are to see how that will work. Actually, probably more curious. But please do check it out. 

My usual caveat: I am reviewing the performances because I am a TV critic, and also because I know a thing or two about music. And by that I mean literally a thing, maybe two, definitely not three or more. In other words, my reviews are as subjective and uninformed as those of the 650 zillion home viewers who will dial in their votes. Hey—if you’re a connoisseur of quality music criticism, what are you doing watching American Idol?
