American Idol

As every Idol fan knows, tonight is the first night that we get to vote for our favorites. The Top 36 contestants were chosen last week, and now it's up to the public to chose.

As you are watching Idol tonight, pay attention to who seems to be getting a lead, and who just won't make the cut.

Was there anyone who should have made it into the Top 36 but didn't? Am I the only one who thinks Nick Mitchell and Tatiana Del Toro need to be drop kicked out of the state of California?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
