'American Idol' Daily: We're moving!

There comes a time when all little blogs must spread their wings and take flight ... or at least move into a bigger nest.  And for the "American Idol" category of Show Tracker, the day has finally come when our feet have gotten too big to fit in here with all the Non-Top-Rated-Shows-in-America.

So starting today we'll be at our new home — a special place for "Idol" fans and foes alike to have all to themselves. Reset your browsers to latimes.com/idoltracker and come visit us over there. Join us all season long for exclusive reports from the Idoldome, insighful music commentary by Ann Powers, hard-nosed reporting by Scott Collins and all the latest buzz wherever it may break from Stephanie Lysaght.

Kicking off the blog today, read my exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to the recording studio where the Greatest Performer in "Idol" History, Carly Smithson, prepares for the next step on her journey.

Come visit and watch us grow.
