Obviously American Idol is a crassly commercial enterprise, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the show’s producers would try and insert product placement into any nook and cranny that can fit it. But really, Nigel Lythgoe and company–referring to an episode featuring current pop hits as “”Songs from iTunes’ Current Top 100 Week”? I know you’re excited about your little dalliance with Steve Jobs, but come on now. [MJ's Big Blog]

    The question here is whether Idol’s new policy of allowing contestants to play instruments will extend to getting to use Autotune for a T-Pain cover.

    I’m sure American Idol fans and regular users of Bed Bath & Beyond coupons know about this, but when I was in BB&B today I was totally amazed to learn that there’s a book out called Chicken Soup For The American Idol Soul.

    What are the odds on covers of…

    “1-2-3-4″…

    “Bubbly”…

    “Rockstar”…

    “Paralyzer”…

    “See You Again”…

    “Big Girls Don’t Cry”…

    Also, what are the odds that someone will attempt “to pull a Taylor Hicks” and try to cover something like “American Girl” because “it’s on the iTunes Top 100″?

    You don’t think Bareilles’ “Love Song” will be on the show?
