'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.

'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Final Audition Show Tied New York's Talent Pool
Well, we made it. The second part of the San Francisco saga was billed as having "the best for last." And American Idol wasn't joking.

'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: San Francisco Shows Off Some Fun Personalities
American Idol bounced back last Thursday (Jan. 22) in New Orleans, Harry Connick Jr.'s hometown, after a lackluster episode in Minneapolis. For the final audition week, Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Connick sorted through talent in San Francisco.
