American Idol is getting down to the wire.  I have been hearing a lot of people saying around the station that this is the best year yet.  I really enjoyed all of the performances last night, and I think that all the singers are top notch this year.

On tonight’s (April 11) episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 7 brought songs from 2010 until today. While we did a double take at first because 2010 seems like, well, yesterday, it turns out quite a few great songs have been released in the past two years. Wit...

Nicki Minaj and Scotty McCreery are performing on ‘American Idol‘! Not together, unfortunately, but hey — even if we have to keep waiting for our long-held dream of seeing a Minaj/McCreery duet, this news is still pretty awesome.

By now ‘American Idol‘ viewers are aware that “gentle giant” Jermaine Jones is being kicked off the show on tonight’s (March 14) episode for failing to disclose his arrest record and criminal history. Jones, who openly confessed to being a mama’s boy and was a favorite of show mentor Jimmy Iovine thanks to his deep baritone, apparently has five outstanding arrest warrants in New Jersey.

  ‘American Idol‘ favorite Phillip Phillips had a bit of a health scare this week. While contestants fainted left and right during the audition rounds and during Group Week in Hollywood, Phillips’ medical malady was not due to stress from the show. He was hospitalized for a pre-existing condition: kidney stones. We’ve never had ‘em ourselves, but by all accounts, they are supposedly one of the mo

Last night I was watching American Idol, and apparently they saved the best for last. Jessica Sanchez preformed Whitney Houston's “I Will Always Love You.” I was scared for her at first, but then after hearing her working with the coaches I knew it was going to be amazing.

The ratings for ‘American Idol‘ are down this season, but the show may lure back some viewers with its plans to have several former contestants — including Adam Lambert and James Durbin – return to perform on the ‘Idol’ stage this season.

Last night American Idol had pushed the fact that someone was going to fall off the stage. They waited till the last second of the show, and my DVR cut off so I missed it. I thought some others might have had the same problem so I have it here for you.

Portland is a pop culture hot bed. From the hilarious series ‘Portlandia’ — which celebrates the indie-dom and coolness of the region and is as far removed from ‘American Idol‘ and its pop sensibilities — to the hipster-friendly nature of the often cloudy and rainy area, Portland is on our radar a bunch. No wonder ‘American Idol’ producers hit the city again this season for the audition phase. Re

Okay this guy was shown for just a little while, but I had to pause the TV and take a picture.  What is going on with this guys teeth.   He looks like a shark.  There are things going on up in there that I can't explain, like an extra row of teeth behind the other teeth...

On this special, Sunday night, post-NFC championship game edition of ‘American Idol,’ the producers hit San Diego, the So Cal city where the whether is always nice, to mine some talent. The auditions took place on the USS Midway, which was loud, but there was a crop of quality wannabes that got golden tickets to the next round.

Ali Shields’ ‘American Idol‘ audition began with so much promise, and then got really weird before finishing somewhere in the middle. However, the 19-year-old’s dorky style and charming confidence were enough to get all three judges to move her along to Hollywood.
