American Idol isn’t doing well this season. They recently made a deal with Apple, so Idol’s “official media player” is now iTunes.

You can bet your precious left nut (we know your right one is no good) that Idol performances will be up on iTunes to buy.

Idol really is doing everything they can to recover from Sajaya, who managed to stay on the show with his absurd but luck with teenage girls plus big backing from Internet sites like Vote For The Worst who try to take down Idol at every turn.

When we say Idol is doing everything, this is not limited to stacking the competition as the Today show uncovered.

So is Idol for amateurs even if the ratings tank?

Hell no, it’s on FOX, one of the greediest networks around that consistently suffers from “The Simpsons Curse,” a hex so foul that all good shows get turned to crap and kept on forever, while all bad shows manage to blossom.
