  • Oh, how richly ironic that Lady Gaga, who is arguably the biggest player in the pop game right now, mentored the top four this week on "American Idol." I mean, this a show whose two biggest frontrunners, country kids Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, are so ultra-conservative that Gaga's very leotarded, skunk-wigged presence had Scotty kissing a cross pendant and begging God for forgiveness ("Apparently he's a bit more conservative than I imagined," mused Gaga), and rendered Lauren too afraid to even sing the word "evil" in an Elvis song.

    "You're not a kid, you're 16," Gaga told them from behind the 29 pounds of spooky space-alien makeup caked on her poker face. "When I was 16 years old, I was way too weird to be on 'American Idol.' They would have shut the door in my face."

    Yes, in that one utterance, Gaga defined everything that is wrong with "Idol." She proved that pretty much no one on this show is ready to compete with what's really going on in the pop marketplace, which is total

  • Season 9 semifinalist Todrick Hall's time on "American Idol" was short (he was voted off that same awful night when Lilly Scott, Alex Lambert, and Katelyn Epperly all left), but now he's making a serious play to get back on the Fox network, with his hilarious new viral video, "I Wanna Be On Glee."

    In the very ambitious video, the over-the-top singer (who actually has an extensive theater background) makes a pretty convincing argument why he'd be a fabulous addition the "Glee" cast. In the course of four minutes, he takes a phone call from Rachel Berry, sings at Regionals with a full choir, and even undergoes a slushy attack, all to get "Glee" producer Ryan Murphy's attention.

    Really, if there was ever an "Idol" contestant suited for "Glee," it's Todrick. He quite flamboyantly covered Queen's "Glee" staple "Somebody To Love" on "Idol," along with Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It" and Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," so he knows his way around a pop hit remake. He was

  • While her screentime on "The Voice" has been limited to a short clip of her singing Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," contestant Casey Desmond has already intrgued me. The flame-haired, face-painted, award-garnering synthpop goddess--who is on Adam Levine's team along with Jeff Jenkins, Rebecca Loebe, Javier Colon, Devon Barley, Casey Weston, and Angela Wolff--has just released a new video, "Talking To God," and I have to say, based on this clip, she is much more interesting than most of the contestants on "American Idol" this year.

    If only we could see Gaga mentor Casey this week...

    I hope Adam chooses wisely when he selects Casey's opponent for her upcoming Battle Round. The new "Voice" previews reveal that fan favorite Javier Colon will be going up against Angela "Cannon Fodder" Wolff, but remaining team members Rebecca Loebe and Jeff Jenkins are stiff competition. So I'm hoping that Adam pits Casey against vocally challenged med student Devon Barley (Team Levine's weakest link),
