American Idol is now more focused on judges than contestants

Fourth of July fashion: Am I too old to wear an American flag bikini?

Are we the only country in the world that dresses up like the country's own flag to celebrate independence? It seems strange that we would honor the U.S.A. by draping ourselves with trashy, mocking versions of our own global visual representation -- but that's what we do. And while I say "trashy," ...

Top 7 Results: Jessica Sanchez doesn't go home, thanks to the judges' save

Jessica Sanchez can thank J. Lo for saving her last night on American Idol after a surprising revelation that Sanchez, one of the stronger vocalists this season, had received the lowest number of votes from Wednesday's show.

Idol's Top 7: DeAndre Brackensick eliminated

No surprises last night on American Idol. The bottom three, Elise Testone, Hollie Cavanaugh and DeAndre Brackensick, deserved to be on the chopping block following their poor performances on Wednesday.

American Idol Top 9: Heejun Han gets an attitude adjustment and is sent home

After he spent all season with a bad attitude, Heejun Han was finally sent home during last night's elimination round on American Idol. It's not that Han was a poor singer -- in fact, he performed well throughout his time on the show -- it's that he just didn't seem committed to the Idol concept o ... More >>

American Idol: From 25 to the Top 13

After weeks of anticipation, the top thirteen contestants of American Idol were revealed. Last night's episode, however seemingly straightforward, wasn't short of Adele-drenched drama, though.

American Idol Live Show: Two women sing Adele, only one truly shines

Over two days of competition, three American Idol contestants took on Adele -- Eben Franckewitz, Elise Testone and Jen Hirsh.

American Idol Top 24: Stop toying with us, Randy Jackson

Fourteen of the 24 semifinalists were revealed last night on American Idol.

The format to last night's ... More >>

American Idol Hollywood Round 3: fear and illness hit the groups hard

American Idol is really coming down to the wire now.

American Idol: Hollywood auditions, round 1

Last night's first Hollywood round of auditions on American Idol played like a rapid fire of hopes and dreams realized and shattered and realized and shattered, like an endless loop of Aerosmith songs -- at times, entertaining; at others, it dragged on.

American Idol in St. Louis: When the contestants are good, they're really good

Ah, the last of the auditions round of American Idol . With mediocre expectations of the talent going into the Hollywood round, there aren't more than ten contestants who truly blew us away thus far in the competition. However, in last night's St. Louis episode, a few contestants managed to at least ... More >>

America Idol in Portland: The judges were spot on, but the contestants were a mixed bag

If you're going to take on Freddie Mercury's vocal prowess on "Somebody To Love" and use it as an audition piece for American Idol, you better be able to hit those notes. Unfortunately for the baby-faced Ben Harrison, 28, none of the judges loved his take. The falsetto, on blast, would have made Mer ... More >>

American Idol in Galveston: Just like the good ol' days

Last night's episode of American Idol offered us a few strong contenders and an out-of-place space shuttle opening sequence.

American Idol in San Diego: The only one to be idolized is Jennifer Lopez

Last night's episode of American Idol saw auditions in a vastly different location than usual: the USS Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego, California.

American Idol is back, with a new host of hopefuls

If the hat Steven Tyler wore during last night's premiere of American Idol is anything to go by, it's going to be an interesting season.​Nearly eight months since Scotty McCreery became America's latest Idol in May 2011, it's good to have the cast of American Idol 2.0 back in action. To wit, R ... More >>

In honor of Mother's Day this weekend: A list of the music world's top five hottest mamas

​Even though most of our moms aren't rock stars, some of them sure as hell seem like it. With their busy schedules and insane ability to multi-task, they deserve screaming fans and scads of cash.

Ben Affleck is really talented. No, really.

Hey, nits, I already said I was sorry about those crappy movies, alright?​Ben Affleck has acted in some truly horrible movies.

JLo's "On The Floor" vs. Diddy's "Ass On The Floor"

Five better things for JLo to cry about than American Idol

Julie Zorrilla in American Idol Top 24

​Evidently, Julie Zorrilla not only has a lock on cute dresses and shoes, but she now holds the distinction of being one of only twelve girls in the the American Idol Top 24.

American Idol is dead. What's next?

​Well, that was fun while it lasted. American Idol had its worst season premiere ever, coming off the heels of its first season where winning didn't translate to commercial pop success. Turns out J-Lo and fossilized Steven Tyler are pushovers trying to make their own careers as much as anyone ... More >>

Seven Reasons American Idol Should Be Cancelled

​American Idol has been around for eight years and going on ten seasons. And really, anything has a natural lifespan, and television shows, for the most part, live theirs in close to dog years.
