  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Qaasim Middleton Goes for the Save & Slays, Keeping Top 11 Intact

    Wow. So, was this the top 10 of American Idol season 14 or just, like, Hollywood Week? After a solid group of performances last week, this show, as a whole and with very few exceptions, was just weak. It was movie week, and there were way more cheesy '80s ballads than there should have been.
  • Scott Borchetta: 'American Idol' Contestant Maddie Walker Did Not Rupture Her Appendix

    Maddie Walker was in visible pain last week on American Idol, and after she sang "She's Country" by Jason Aldean, she was escorted off stage by a doctor. Taste of Country reports that former contestant Savion Wright tweeted that Walker ruptured her appendix (the post has since been deleted). Scott Borchetta said the rumors were false, but not much else is known about Walker's ongoing condition.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Sarina-Joi Crowe Exits and the Top 11 Move On

    The pressure is on. American Idol is entering a long stretch where the results and performances will be rolled into one, two-hour show. That means more commercials and more Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban. However, it also means more performances by Season 14's best contestants.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: The Top 12 is Revealed — Did Your Favorite Make It?

    After a strong showing in Detroit, the American Idol crew returned to Hollywood to determine who would make Season 14's Top 12. Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban were back in the mix as they would be choosing the final two contestants to advance. The competition is heating up, ladies and gents.
  • Scott Borchetta Agrees With 'American Idol' Results So Far: Big Machine Head Talks Clark Beckham and Jax

    Big Machine's Scott Borchetta thinks voters for 'American Idol' have chosen wisely so far this season. The record label head has been tapped as one of the mentors for Season 14, and last week he appeared on the show to gush over the contestants -- specifically Clark Beckham. Borchetta will be involved with tonight's March 11 episode as the crew heads back to Hollywood, 'Taste of Country' noted.
  • YouTube Sensation Kimberly Henderson Drops First Single 'Tiny Hearts' After 'How Will I Know' Lullaby Cover Goes Viral [WATCH]

    Single mother Kimberly Henderson took the Internet by storm when she shared a video on YouTube of her singing to her daughter Vaida a lullaby cover of Sam Smith's version of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" in December. The clip has since amassed more than 2.6 million views. After the video went viral, Cosco Kids reached out to the South Carolina mother and offered her opportunity to write and record an original single on an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles. Henderson teamed up with BREAK Entertainment songwriters Jay Levine and Sophie Dupin to write and record "Tiny Hearts," which they completed in less than 24 hours.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Contestant Jax Cole Wears #TheDress While Performing 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' [WATCH]

    When you're vying for the country's vote on American Idol, you have to do whatever it takes to get people buzzing about your performance and vote for you! Last night (March 5), during the top eight girls performances on season 14 of the show, contestant Jax Cole tapped into the major Internet debate, #TheDress, by proving on television that the garment really is black and blue by wearing it on national television during her performance of the Motown classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: The Top 24 is Revealed - Did Your Favorite Make the Cut?

    "Phenomenal singers are going home today," Jennifer Lopez said to open tonight's, Feb. 19, final American Idol judgement episode to decide the Top 24. She wasn't kidding either. The group of 23 remaining contestants was cut in half to round out next week's crew of live performers. Harry Connick Jr., Keith Urban and J. Lo have been shelling out some solid advice, but for some it was "better luck next time."
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Contestants Get Ready for the Final Judgment After House of Blues Gigs

    The final judgment is here. After a stressful and sleepless Hollywood round last week on American Idol, 48 contestants performed at The House of Blues in front of a live audience. Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban watched from a far, and this time around there was no immediate critique or praise. The judgment came later, and it was the most nerve-racking encounter with the judges yet.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: 5 of the Best Solo Performances from Hollywood

    "It's A-Game or Plan-B." That was the introductory message for tonight's (Feb. 12) episode. The group performances were over and contestants had to face Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban solo. This time, they were accompanied by a house band, making song choice all the more important. Some rose to the challenge. Others weren't so lucky.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Final Group Round Brings Lots of Drama, Some OK Singing

    The group round of American Idol is never particularly impressive. How can you truly stand out when you're also trying to blend in with three or four other singers? It's certainly a tall order, bringing in lots of drama. And season 14's Hollywood round was no different.
  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Group Performances Begin and One Chick Passes Out

    Hollywood week, as Ryan Seacrest noted at the start of the episode, is an "emotional roller coaster." American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban now expect everyone's best, even if that means performances that aren't technically perfect. We moved through the final solo performances into the much more exciting group displays. Contestants were forced to work out a song with others and stand out while putting together a cohesive performance. Sounds easy enough, right?
