The end of American Idol (for now) is ever-so near. On Thursday night (March 31), the final four was narrowed down to the semi-finalists: Dalton Rapattoni, La'Porsha Renae and Trent Harmon. And they're, let me be the first one to say this, in it to win it. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 4 Sing Sia Songs, Classic Rock with Mixed Results
American Idol's farewell season has given us solid performances fairly consistently, without making any of the individual singers step out of their comfort zone too much... that was, until this week. Despite having the broad genre definition as "classic rock songs," which could have spanned about 50 years of popular music, the song choices were so off, and the performances heavily reflected that. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 5 Performances Ranked as They Sing America's Picks
American Idol's 15th and farewell season got a visit from one of its most noteworthy alumni on Thursday night (March 17) when Adam Lambert returned to the show to debut his new single "Welcome to the Show." And it was, indeed, welcome to the realities of show business for the top six, who were thrown a major loop when America picked its song choices. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 6 Performances, Ranked
Every year, the judges and guest stars and everyone else on American Idol claim the current crop of contestants is the strongest ever. It's the sort of statement that is hard to believe, no matter how great a group may be. But in the show's farewell season, which was narrowed down from eight to six singers on Thursday night (March 10), calling this group unbelievably strong may just be accurate. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 8 Performances, Ranked
And then it was down to eight. American Idol's truncated 15th season has led to double eliminations, narrowing the field from 10 to eight, which felt particularly rough on Thursday night (March 3) when an early favorite was sent home. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 10 Performances, Ranked
American Idol's farewell season got a little boost from its original girl on Thursday night (Feb. 25). Kelly Clarkson returned home to be a guest judge and to perform her touching new single "Piece by Piece," and was one of the most welcome additions to this season thus far. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 10 Takes Shape with Wildcards, OK Performances
American Idol's top 10 is starting to take shape. On Wednesday night (Feb. 24), the show's producers and judges bucked tradition by throwing in four wildcard picks... before America could vote? This move is presumably to get the best singers actually into the race to guarantee an interesting and assorted live roster, but it feels like the thing that made American Idol a hit to begin with - allowing fans to pick the next superstar - a false promise. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Half the Top 24 Sing Short Samples in New Round
In its farewell season, American Idol is adding an extra round before the live shows - a display of the top 24. This week, half of the singers got a crisp 60 seconds to show off their personality through song before dueting with some of Idol's favorite alumni. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Top 24 Revealed as Favorites Move On

'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Hollywood Week Solo Rounds Fall to Quick Storytelling
American Idol is careening toward its live shows, with quick editing and pushed up time lines. This couldn't have been made any more clear than during Wednesday night's (Feb. 3) episode, in which the top 75 (or so) singers got to perform solo yet again in a chance to make it to Hollywood. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Group Rounds Bring Out the Claws
"It's designed to be brutal," Harry Connick Jr. said about the "infamous" American Idol group rounds. And boy, for the farewell season we got some DRAMA. American Idol oftentimes feels a little more dignified than other reality shows (because of its pedigree) but during Hollywood Week and group rounds in general, the tears, screams, sleep deprivation and claws truly come out. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Hollywood Week Introduces Lines of 10, Massive Cuts
American Idol has been a television institution for 15 years, and all throughout its history, the show has lined up its contestants during the first round of Hollywood Week, made them sing solo in groups of 10 and called the winners out of the line. Never before had this phase had a title, but enter the farewell season where we get the phrase "Lines of Ten Round." -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Auditions End for Good with A Bit of Everything
And that's a wrap on the American Idol auditions - potentially forever. As the TV institution calls it a day, so too must the auditions end. No more "pants on the ground" guys, no more William Hungs, no more Carrie Underwoods and no more snarky commentary from Simon Cowell or Harry Connick Jr. This is it. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Second-to-Last Auditions Bring Back the Magic
American Idol's final auditions are coming to a close, so it only makes sense that the show brings out its big guns. Perhaps this is why, instead of keeping it to one city the producers decided to jump things around, cherry-picking the best of the best to show viewers. -
'American Idol' Season 15 Recap/Review: Denver and Little Rock Go Sky High with Talent
American Idol's auditions may have faltered a bit in Philadelphia, with more mediocre singers than memorable ones, but Denver must have been a treasure trove of talent, because (along with Little Rock), the show returned to the Mile-High City on Thursday night (Jan. 14).
