This week's TV Guide (March 16-22) pimpage...er, I mean coverage:

In a one and one half page article covering AI: "We Judge the Lucky 13"--

Lil, Adam, Danny and Alexis are the featured pics; the other 9 are in smaller pics across the bottom.

TV Guide gives some editorial on each and rates them with stars--

one star means: "lucky to have made it this far"

two stars mean: "stranger things have happened"

three stars mean: "only a nude internet scandal could get in the way".

Highlights include (stars given):

Lil: *** "She'll need to get past the Fantasia comparisons but at this early vantage, she's the one to beat."

Adam: *** "Paula, Randy, Kara love the showmanship and acrobatic vocals, Simon less so. We're happy to see Adamania gripping teenyboppers."

Danny: *** "The man can sing, but his willingness to play the sympathy card over his wife's recent passing has already prompted a backlash. No matter--he ain't going away anytime soon."

Alexis: *** "She rocked the Queen of Soul's song and made a terrific, first impression."

Then out of the other nine:

Scott: *** "He'll last but he won't win."

Allison: ** "A big voice in search of a commensurate personality."

Anoop: ** ""Big Bang" geek appeal makes him a charmer, but we're not convinced he has the vocal chops to win."

Matt: ** "Nice on the piano bench, but gave us the blues when he ventured beyond the comfort zone of his R&B soul."

Kris: ** "He's got the talent and looks for a teengirl fan base, but his lack of early screen time (and so far, charisma) could mean an early boot."

Jasmine got two **, Jorge one * .

Micheal, Megan, got one * as well.
