American Idol's farewell season will finally get to the meat this week... the voting rounds. After weeks of Hollywood performances and judge's picks, the top 14 will finally get to be put to the real test (after a little more help from the judges).
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 ...
It's taken us weeks of auditions and three episodes of the always-fascinating Hollywood Week, but the final top 24 for American Idol is here, and it features all of the familiar faces and fan favorites.
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 ...
"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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
American Idol has produced a number of superstars in its 14 years - Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, Jordin Sparks - but nobody is quite like the first. And during the show's farewell season, Kelly Clarkson is due to return to FOX as a guest judge and ...
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 ...
Philadelphia may be a hot bed for indie rock these days, but the city of Brotherly Love did not fare so well for American Idol. On Wednesday night (Jan. 13), the final season of the show made its way to Philly, and something tells us The State of the ...
American Idol's premiere week continued on Thursday night (Jan. 7) as the judges and the entire show's cartel moved on to Little Rock and San Francisco. This episode, logically, had less of a nostalgia factor and less hype surrounding it than ...
American Idol's 15th and final season kicked off on Wednesday night (Jan. 6) and the big question on everyone's mind beyond "Will that married couple stay together?" and "Really, how did they get Kanye West to audition?" is how the show did in its ...
Clay Aiken may have launched to fame on season 2 of American Idol, but he's no longer a big fan of the show. Despite appearing on the season 15 premiere on Wednesday night (Jan. 6) to help with the auditioning process, the "Invisible" singer ...
American Idol's 15th season is officially underway, and the show kicked off with a nostalgic flair that emphasized its own importance throughout American pop culture and the music industry over the last 14 years. Welcoming back alumni like Taylor ...
