If you're experiencing summer American Idol withdrawals, you had your chance last night to jump/scream at the best of the best on stage. The American Airlines Center hosted a big juicy chunk of the Idol favorites, including Tim Urban's hair of Duncanville and Fort Worth's Casey James--like an Avenger team of live music, maybe.

The North Texas two, and the rest of this year's Idol finalists, are making 49 stops through North American as part of this tour. The lucky people of Phoenix are next.
