How 'Idols' Choose Their Songs

Song choice is critical when you're competing on 'American Idol'. Simon, Paula and Randy constantly bash 'Idols' based on their song selections alone. Now, TMZ has the lowdown on how the song selection process works -- and it's more involved than you would think.

'Idols' don't have a full range of songs to choose from. Instead, they're given a list of songs, and TMZ has seen the binder that the 'Idol's use in making their pivotal decisions. The list is a stapled packet almost one inch thick. Inside the packet are songs that are cleared by 'Idol's' legal team and by the artists themselves.

'A.I.' Astrology: Stars Favor Katharine

An astrologer who predicted last year's 'Idol' winner says the stars are lining up for Katharine McPhee to be the next 'American Idol.'

Jeff Jawer, an AOL Horoscopes astrologer, says the alignment of the Taurus moon with Venus and Pluto gives Katharine the edge over Taylor Hicks and Elliott Yamin. The 'Idol' winner will be picked on May 24.

Last year, Jawer correctly sized up the lunar signs and predicted that Capricorn Carrie Underwood would win the competition.
