Sanjaya Malakar and Blake Lewis, the two Seattle-based runners-up on "American Idol," are coming home tonight. "American Idols Live," the three-month, 56-stop tour, featuring the top 10 contestants from last season's show, will be at the Tacoma Dome tonight and back on the road Saturday morning.

Exert:

Blake Lewis is coming home.

He captured the hearts and ears of Americans across the country as he climbed into the finals on "American Idol" with his remarkable, unique and clever sound, but only the greater Seattle area can lay claim to the Bothell resident, and he'll be the one all eyes are on when the "American Idols Live" tour stops tonight at the Tacoma Dome.

Exert:

Hoop earrings, sparkly eye shadow and ponytails might as well have been mandatory at Friday night's "American Idols Live" concert at the Tacoma Dome.

For almost three full hours, more than 10,000 fans were on their feet, screaming — no, squealing — as the top 10 contestants from season six of "American Idol" crooned, shimmied and strutted like the newly anointed rock stars they are.

Exert:

Yesterday, I covered “American Idols Live.” I’m not a fan of the show. In fact, unlike the majority of America, I’ve never watched one single episode. I don’t even really own a television. (Okay, my roommate has a television, but we have no cable and she doesn’t watch it that much either except for her Planet Earth DVD set.)

I’m so out of the pop culture loop, I even had to ask for help on the cutlines. I really had no idea who these people were, but apparently, two are from the Seattle area.
