It was a great night for Danny Gokey on American Idol. He sang a beautiful, moving version of "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts. GO DANNY!
Scott Mcintyre had a very good night playing piano and singing "Just the Way You Are."
Adam Lambert showed his forehead and ears again, but the quiet, more subdued Adam of last week was nowhere to be seen. He sang "Play that Funky Music," screaming and swaggering. I prefer the "Tracks of my Tears" Adam Lambert.
Kris Allen gave what I think was his best performance of the season, "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone."
Now to David Spade--
David Spade was in the audience sitting behind the judges. He was on camera repeatedly. When he wasn't chomping on gum, he was looking sullen. It really distracted me.

FOX 6 in Milwaukee decided not to run the debut episode of Osbournes: Reloaded.
Instead, Brad Hicks hosted a local special, "Dealing with Drugs."
He said that FOX 6 had elected not to air Osbournes: Reloaded until 1:00 AM, citing that the station didn't want it to follow a family-friendly show like American Idol.
The station has been doing a great job of raising awareness about teens and drug use.
Here are links to resources to help families dealing with the problem.
A message from FOX6
Recent events have again put the issues of drugs and our kids front and center and we are asking parents and children to take a moment to focus on the problem. While the challenges of drugs in our schools and our community will not be solved in one night, our goal is to start a conversation that will lead to more conversation, which hopefully will lead to a better understanding of the issues that face our kids. A better understanding for parents and kids alike will put us in a position to address these very real dangers.

VP/General Manager
WITI FOX 6
FOX 6 wasn't the only affiliate to choose not to run Osbournes: Reloaded after Idol.
Panama City Fox affiliate WPGX opted out as well.
After viewing a six-minute preview, General Manager David Cavileer says it "does not serve my public."
He tells The News Herald that it's "more of an MTV thing."
Cavileer says he would have aired the Osbournes' show after 10 p.m., but the 8:20 p.m. scheduled start time was too early to follow popular singing competition "American Idol," a family-friendly show with a large audience.
Cincinnati's Fox19 took a pass as well.

Actually, David Spade was rather entertaining, especially when he was seen taking the gum out of his mouth and sticking it under his chair!
I missed the Joaquin Phoenix gum move.
The oddest celebrities show up in the Idol audience.
At the beginning of last night's show, I thought I saw Harry Hamlin.
