The latest album from Clay Aiken, "On My Way Here," comes out on May 6.

Here's a look at the CD cover for it:

And, remember: Aiken - who many people compare David Archuleta to - will perform all-new songs on Monday, April 28 at 7 p.m. on QVC.

“Starting my career on national, live television, it seems fitting to be unveiling my new album live on QVC,” Clay said. “To be able to connect with QVC’s viewers and broadcast my performance to over 93 million households is an amazing opportunity.”

We're still curious to hear your thoughts on the best American Idol performances from this week, but first a quick update on our favorite champion in the show's history.

Carrie Underwood is on the cover of the latest In Style.

Inside, Carrie names Charlize Theron, Katherine Heigl and Reese Witherspoon as some of her fashion icons, while adding:

“My personal style changes day to day. But at the end of the day, I love sweats. I do enough glamming up for awards show and whatnot. So I can wear sweats whenever I want and it kind of evens itself out.”

Have you had time to think about your favorite performance from last night's Andrew Lloyd Webber-themed American Idol?

While we felt terrible for Brooke White after she forgot the lyrics to "You Must Love Me," the lasting impression from the evening was Syesha Mercado showing personality - and sexiness - with her rendition of "Rock n Roll Too Many." Check it out:

We were also blown away by David Cook serenading the audience with the ballad "Music of the Night." This guy really can sing anything:

Take a look and a listen at the other American Idol finalists singing show tunes now. Which was your favorite?

We'll review tonight's American Idol broadcast in more detail later on - complete with photos, videos and more - but, for now, we have one simple question:

Who do you think did the best job? Leave a comment. Let us know.

The American Idol finalists, pictured here with Andrew Lloyd Webber, sang Broadway show tunes this week.

American Idol made big news today in The New York Times. Just not the sort of news those associated with the show probably want made public.

Here's an excerpt from a feature story on the reality competition:

From the placement of local sorority members along camera sight lines to the instructions to the audience members about when to stand and how to wave their hands, American Idol is as scripted as a “reality” show dare be.

At the end of every performance you will stand on your feet.

That is one of the commandments offered by Cory Almeida, the indefatigable warm-up man who exhorts and instructs the audience for 15 minutes before each performance and during the numerous commercial breaks.

For the audience members who stand in the “mosh pit,” the area immediately in front of the stage, special instructions are required.

“When you are applauding after a performance, we need your hands above your head,” Mr. Almeida said before a recent Tuesday performance. “Otherwise we can’t see that you’re clapping.”

As he spoke other stage technicians offered more individualized guidance to mosh pit enthusiasts, including how to wave their arms from side to side over their heads during slow songs.

Tonight, the six remaining finalists on American Idol will tackle Broadway musical numbers!

That's right, it's Andrew Lloyd Webber night on the show. And while that name alone may mean little to many young fans, what about these names?

• Cats
• Phantom of the Opera
• Jesus Christ Superstar
• Evita

Those are just a few of the musicals Webber has penned the music for - and that you'll hear tonight from David Cook, Syesha Mercado and company on American Idol!

Come back tomorrow for a full review of the show and leave comments at any time with your thoughts.

Might some consider American Idol finalist David Cook a ringer?

The talented ringer's self-released 2006 album, "Analog Heart,” was the No. 1 downloaded album all weekend on Amazon’s MP3 service. It even beat Mariah Carey’s "E=MC2."

So, do you think this gives Cook an unfair advantage over David Archuleta and the rest of the American Idol contestants?

Us Weekly hosted its annual Hot Hollywood Bash last week. A pair of former American Idol finalists were in attendance. Check a photo of Michael Johns and Chikezie enjoying the festivities now:

Regarding his style, Johns said: "My wife's given me a lot of tips over the last few years, and I just keep it casual chic. Sometimes I rock it up, but I don't generally go for name brands."

How do you think he looks?

We're big fans of Jason Castro.

So the following comparison is by no means a slight to this American Idol finalist.

But doesn't he closely resemble the late ukulele-playing pop singer, Tiny Tim?

Kristy Lee Cook may have lost a popular singing competition, but she gained a fiance last night.

Okay, it turns out Cook and Andrew Dobner have been engaged since March 17 (but Kristy Lee wanted to keep it quiet in order to focus on American Idol), but after she was eliminated, Cook says Dobner proposed again.

"He actually got down on his knee this time," she said. "He owed it to me!"

Congratulations, Kristy Lee Cook, on your engagement to Andrew Dobner.
