Alan, aka the Token White Guy, is joined by IdolBlogLive.com owner DJSlim for a preview show of what to expect from Season 10 of American Idol. The guys talk about the return of Nigel Lythgoe and all the changes he has made to the show in an effort to make the show watchable again. A discussion about the new judges also takes place along with a "longer-than-should-have-happened" discussion about Paula Abdul's soon to be canceled show, Live to Dance.

Alan, aka the Token White Guy, is joined on the show by IdolBlogLive.com owner DJSlim, FarmVille Rant Radio Show host CB Snow, IdolBlogLive.com blogger Queen Angie, and TheOfficialSoulPatrol.com moderator ChuckRitt.

The first week of auditions are done on American Idol, and Alan, aka the Token White Guy, and Sir Darryl talk about them. Alan gives future auditioners some advice on when it might be a good idea to stay home while Darryl shares just how disturbing it is for him to look at Steven Tyler. And Alan crushes the dreams of the contestants by calling them out on how they act for making it through to the Hollywood Round.

The wonderful mj from mjsbigblog.com joined Alan, aka the Token White Guy, on the Idol Radio Show tonight as a special co-host. The two talked about extensively about the new American Idol judges, Bikini Girl, and The X Factor. In addition, mj put a bad rumor about Lee DeWyze to rest as well as explained what will really happen with the whole "genres" thing this season.

Alan, aka the Token White Guy, doesn't like the intro used on the Idol Radio Show tonight, and Sir Darryl doesn't like how American Idol and auditioner Chris Medina exploited his wheelchair bound fiancee. That pretty much sums up the tone of the show, don't you think?

Alan, aka the Token White Guy, is joined by Dave from Vote for the Worst as the two discuss all the youngsters making it through this season, Ian Bernado's third lawsuit against American Idol, and, yet again, our thoughts about Chris Medina and whether he was exploiting his fiancee by bring her to his audition and parading her on the show.

Los Angeles may have been one of the worst audition cities so far this year, but the antics of Microphone Girl and James Brown Not-So-Look-A-Like gave Alan, aka the Token White Guy, and Sir Darryl plenty to talk about. After Alan apologizes to all the listeners, Antubert, the host of The Live Test Show called in to talk about the how much he's enjoying American Idol so far, and Lush called in to talk about the show as well.

Rickey from Rickey.org joined Alan, aka the Token White Guy, tonight for a discussion about Christina Aguilera fleeing the country, Lindsay Lohan fleeing a jewelry store, fans fleeing Clay Aiken, viewers fleeing Live to Dance, sanity fleeing Matt "Big Stats" Frankel, and American Idol viewers fleeing an Adam Lambert sound-a-like.

Sir Darryl and Alan, aka the Token White Guy, spend the hour talking about the end of the American Idol auditions and the beginning of the Hollywood Week. When Antubert, the host of the Live Test Show calls in, a long discussion about the one couple and one ex-couple who tried out on AI takes place. And Darryl foams at the mouth at the thought of one of the contestants spewing profanities in the middle of a performance on stage.

Alan, aka the Token White Guy, is joined by mj from mjsbigblog.com for tonight's show. The two discuss sob stories, including a sob story to end all sob stories that didn't air on American Idol. A discussion about how young is too young to be on Idol led to a long discussion about Justin Bieber, which prompted Sir Darryl and ChuckRitt to call in to sing the praises of the guy. Alan also played a James Durbin Hollywood Day 2 clip to pacify Queen Angie's need to hear more of him.

DJSlim fills in for an absent Sir Darryl on the radio show tonight, joining Alan, aka the Token White Guy, in talking about the tragic Justin Bieber news, the revelation that American Idol has decided to go with a Top 24 instead of the previously announced Top 20, theme weeks, and some X Factor news. A call from The Live Test Show host, Antubert, leads the guys into a long discussion about how and why the judges decide who to let through and who to cut.

Alan, aka the Token White Guy, tries to turn the Idol Radio Show into the NASCAR Radio Show, but co-host DJSlim didn't bother to watch the Daytona 500 on Sunday, making that impossible. So Alan and DJ talk about American Idol instead, specifically about Casey Abrams being rushed to the hospital, Jacqueline Dunford having to drop out last week, Scott McIntyre getting engaged, David Archuleta looking for a new label, and Antonella Barba following the Christina Ricci path.

The Top 24 of American Idol have been announced, yet somehow Alan, aka the Token White Guy, and Sir Darryl managed to talk about everything BUT the Top 24. Instead, Alan rants about who didn't make the Top 24 and Darryl rants about how long those being told "you're going home" had to wait to hear that they were going home. Also, Alan tries to make Darryl apologize for something ChuckRitt did last night during the show.

The Top 24 American Idol contestants have sung, and Alan, aka the Token White Guy, isn't happy about what he heard, while Sir Darryl seems to be a little more forgiving. But the reviews of the performances have to wait, because the two start talking about how past Top 12 contestants should be brought on the show to give them a chance to promote any new music they have and to give Idol fans a chance to see them again. IdolBlogLive.com owner DJSlim joins us half-way into the show to give his warped opinions.

American Idol has named the Top 13, and both Alan, aka the Token White Guy, and Sir Darryl are shocked, COMPLETELY, TOTALLY, 100% SHOCKED, that Ryan Seacrest and the judges didn't know how many Wild Cards they were going to pick until the very end. Antubert from the Live Test Show calls in to help Alan diss Darryl, and to talk about Idol. IdolBlogLive.com's Queen Angie joins the guys halfway through the show to talk about who made it into the Top 13 and who might be the first to go home.

The Idol Radio Show decided to mimic American Idol tonight, with Alan, aka the Token White Guy, and Sir Darryl turning in one of their worst performances of the season. But there was some hope. Expectations were high for IdolBlogLive.com owner DJSlim to liven things up, but his knock on the ballads simply put us to sleep. Or was that the contestants' singing that did that?
