Is it already time for 'American Idol'? With Idol Tracker, it's always time

Pop & Hiss has written about "American Idol" a bit.

Show Tracker has written about "American Idol" a lot.

So rather than let "American Idol" eventually take over both blogs, "Idol" guru Richard Rushfield will now spearhead the all-"Idol," all-the-time blog, Idol Tracker. The blog already has categories for your favorite "Idol" stars, from Carrie Underwood to David Archuleta, and Pop & Hiss staple and chief pop critic Ann Powers will be contributing, so we promise to be nice.

"Idol" starts in about a month, but Idol Tracker is up and running now, launching with a look at Carly Smithson in the studio. Watch the video below, and then head to Idol Tracker for more. And if you like, follow Idol Tracker on Twitter.
