• 'American Idol' Season 13 Recap: The Good, The Bad and The Meh from the Girls Top 10

    American Idol has gone live and the first round went to the ladies on Tuesday night (Feb. 18). Fifteen women entered to the waiting room for the live audience stage, but only 10 got the chance to perform, yet another dramatic twist for Idol's 13th season.
