Last night we headed to America's most dynamic city, Milwaukee. Home of beer and delicious cheese curds, Milwaukee, Algonquin for "the good land," proved a fertile ground for teenage talents. Indeed it seems we're ceding our country to the young.

On tonight's American Idol, a 26-year-old Illinois man named Chris Medina auditioned before the judges. Accompanying Medina was his severely brain-damaged fiancée, Julia Ramos, who—post-audition—also met the judges. Ladies and gentlemen, this season's story to follow has arrived.

Hello! Tonight, American Idol is back with another always-entertaining audition episode (on FOX, at 8:00 PM ET). So, stop what you're doing, get in front of the television (and your computer, duh), and join us inside for our live-blog!

With every season of American Idol comes at least one contestant who surprises the judges because their voice and appearance don't seem to add up. Here are last night's contenders:

The second round of auditions moved the Ambition Express bus down to New Orleans, and it was yet another episode filled with oddity and wonder. Plus Randy and Steven Tyler's bare stomachs!

Hello again! Because last night's live-blog of the American Idol premiere was a success, we decided to do it again tonight. So, stop what you're doing, get in front of the television (and your computer, duh), and join us inside!

Does anyone tune in to American Idol to see quality singing anymore? Of course not! We tune in to see the inevitable turnout of nut jobs. Here are last night's best:

It is back! Oh sufferin' Seacrests, is it ever back. We embark upon season 10 of this tarnished talent show with a wary curiosity. So much is new, so that could be exciting. But, then again, probably not.

Thanks, Idol, for the implied message that the mainstream media and all of America was losing their collective minds this past year, wondering and wondering who the next judges would be. Guess what—not all of us cared!

Hello! Did you remember that the season premiere of American Idol airs tonight? If you didn't, consider this your reminder. Because of all the shakeups for Season 10, we figured a live-blog for the premiere would be appropriate. Come in!

Who's ready for the return of American Idol tonight? If your ears aren't quite prepared for the phase one of auditions, brace yourself by watching these twenty horrific samples of contestants past.

On top of being a terrible singer and the ruin of American Idol, Jennifer Lopez is a crappy tipper, too.

Here we can enjoy some playful banter between the new Idol judges and the veterans. They address adding online voting, Ricky Minor's band not being there this year and the new contestants not knowing who the Beatles are.

The talent show's hostess, Ryan Seacrest, has confirmed on Twitter what was long rumored: The two new AI judges will be Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Jennifer Lopez, of the block. Clearly the producers did not listen to us.

After much speculation, TMZ has "confirmed" that Jennifer Lopez will get $12 million to serve as an American Idol judge next season, replacing Ellen DeGeneres. And here I was hoping we were done with her already. [Image via Getty]

The latest news about the revamp of the American Idol judging panel is that over-demanding J.Lo is out as a replacement for Ellen DeGeneres. Now's the time to ask: Why do we even bother having judges in the first place?

Nearly forgotten American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino was rushed to the hospital last night after an overdose and suicide attempt. That reminds us, has anyone heard from Ruben Studdard or Taylor Hicks lately? [Image via Getty]

The real story here, though, is the unflattering dress Jessica's wearing. Now, I've got nothing against decolletage, but you'd think a gal with her history would have a wardrobe consultant permanently on "does this make me look chubby?" patrol.

She's been on just one season, but Ellen DeGeneres is leaving American Idol because it "didn't feel like the right fit for me." She may be replaced by Jennifer Lopez, who is "close to signing a deal." [AP]

They're considering Chris Isaak as a replacement for Simon Cowell! The alt-crooner has had two meetings with producers. If that's not weird, nothing is. Apparently the show is struggling to maneuver around X Factor, judges-wise. Who will end up where??
