Shania TwainLast week was American Idol's first week, and already we were treated to sob stories, annoyed contestants, and the ubiquitous "Pants on the Ground", with some good singing scattered in between. This week, I expect things to stay the same. Well, except for the viral hit. And there's the benefit of those spoilers we've been getting our hands on over the weekend--it'd be interesting seeing some of those names impress us on TV rather than on YouTube.

Tonight, we head to Chicago, that windy city that Oprah calls home. The show hasn't been there too many times--they've held auditions twice there, I think, including that little bit about Mandisa confronting Simon after his quips during audition. Random fact you probably know already: she was never in the bottom three until she was eliminated. That week, she sang a song from Shania Twain, who happens to be tonight's guest judge. Wasn't that a convenient transition?
