Apple Thoughts: Idol Performances Now on iTunes

"American Idol and iTunes are teaming up once again for Season 8 of the No. 1 show on TV. The national superstar-making phenomenon is returning to the iTunes Store with music from the contestants on a weekly basis. Watch the program when it airs and follow up on iTunes to download your favorite performances, or just pre-order music from the contestants in advance. It's an easy way to get the music from American Idol's rising stars."

I was really happy that they did this last year and had all the great performances from what was one of the better seasons of Idol, and while there weren't a whole ton of great performances on Tuesday, it's only going to get better as the season goes on. Sure it's just a way for Fox to cash in on some amateur singing, but if you're a fan of the show or one of the contestants, this is a great way to stay up to date with their performances.
