Once again this year, iTunes will have the latest performances from all American Idol contestants!  Soon after their on air performances, the songs will be available for you to download in iTunes.

To make it even better, this year they shouldn’t be protected which means they’ll play on the iPod, Zune or anything else that plays .acc files.

Look for the music either a few hours after the show, or the very next morning. Remember, they can’t let you download the songs until the show has aired in all time zones.

Yet another American Idol from 2008 has released a single.  David Archuleta is now in iTunes and Amazon with Crush.

Congratulations go out to David Cook. I was able to watch the final voting show, but not the finale.  I then scrambled to find out who one on Thursday morning.  Excited, and surprised, to see David Cook won!

Why is there no place online that I can watch last weeks American Idol episodes? I was working late, or out with friends, or doing something that caused me to miss each episode of American Idol last week. If it was on Hulu, then I tune in anytime.

What’s Hulu? Each of the major networks are teaming up to create Hulu, an online resource for TV shows. Just logon and start watching TV today in your browser. It’s got a lot of good TV from the Simpsons, Family Guy, Terminator, Apprentice, House and many more. So why don’t they have American Idol?

I know I can download individual performances in iTunes, but I just want to watch last weeks shows. I don’t need to own anything.

Now we are down to the top 12 though. This is where we can start really picking our favorites and I’ll have to be sure not to miss anything on a go forward.

So what did I miss last week?!

After being used for the closing montage for the ‘Best of the Rest’ episode, “Best Days” by Graham Colton was tapped again to be the exit song in the first, and second, round of the Top 24.

American Idol fans may be familiar with Graham when he opened up for Kelly Clarkson on both “Breakaway” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes” tours in 2005. The two were also romantically linked but split because of time apart but remain good friends. The song is available on iTunes and you can you can find out more about Graham on his Myspace.

It’s official, I opened iTunes this morning and American Idol had all three advertising spots at the top. They also have a page dedicated to the top 24!

American Idol revolutionized pop music by letting viewers choose tomorrow’s top stars. Starting now, you can download and own the performances from your favorite contestants each week. As the competition heads up, let iTunes be your source for downloads of American Idol’s sights and sounds.

Don’t miss a single performance. Immediately following the FOX broadcast, pre-order your favorites and you’ll receive and email as soon as they are available for download.

To make it even better, they are giving away We’re Brothers Forever for free as a preview clip!

So get ready, American Idol heats up tonight and iTunes is your new best friend (BFF).
