What kind of BLOG would this be without at least one post on American Idol? But how does this fit on BG.net? Well, approx. 10 million tween girls have an imaginary relationship with David Archuleta! Plus we’re new and we need the traffic.

David Archuleta is unstoppable! I just went through all of last week’s Idol songs on iTunes to see how many reviews had been written for each contestant. I thought this might be an interesting metric for determining how each singer might be doing in the competition, based on the idea that taking the time to write a review could correlate to picking up the phone more than once and voting. I’m going to list the guys separate from the girls since their songs have been up a day longer. Also I’m going to indicate where the review rating dips below 4 stars, since people are being moved to write something negative. Here’s today’s tally:

David A. 578
Jason C. 371
Danny 360 (3 stars)
Michael 131
David C. 105
Chikezie 65 (3 stars)
Jason Y. 62 (2-1/2 stars)
Luke 61 (3 stars)
Robbie 58
David H. 50

David H. for instance had a great performance Tuesday, so I don’t think last week’s reviews can reflect this week’s voting exactly. Jason and Luke could be in trouble though. The girls’ results are surprising…

Amanda 248 (only 3 stars)
Alaina 231
Ramiele 163
Brooke 132
Carly 122
Kristy Lee 104
Kady 89
Asia’h 83
Syesha 82
Alexandréa 62

I had no idea Alaina was so popular, since most of the talk is that “the blondes all blur together.” (Why is it brunette’s never blur together?) I’d say the bottom half of each list would have to step it up this week to stay out of danger.
