"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. -

Rihanna didn't need any of the choirs that many of the other performers at the 2015 Grammy Awards...she had enough soul...and Kanye West and Paul McCartney onstage with herself. West took to the stage for a second time to collaborate with RiRi and Macka for the trio's new hit "FourFiveSeconds." -

Katy Perry had a lot to live up to this week...considering she just performed one of the best reviewed Super Bowl Halftime Shows in recent memory. And she didn't need a shark, left or right, to help her. She did have a cause to represent however.

'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? -
'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Tension Was High, But Jax, Big Sexy & Garrett Miles Pull Through
Hollywood week is here, and we're stoked about it. We know you are too. "You have to figure out how to stand out to survive," Keith Urban said following advice by Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. Some singers were able to distinguish themselves right from the start, while others let the nerves take hold. One missed opportunity in Hollywood could mean the end of the line though. -
'Parks and Recreation' Recap & Review: Donna Gets Married and Ben Gets Drunk
We've seen plenty of Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope this season, so it's fitting that the most recent episode - "Donna & Joe" - concentrated largely on the other characters. In the process, we were able to see just how much everyone has come since Season One. -
'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. Jennfier Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. were handing out golden tickets a lot. It was a nice end to what we'll call a solid audition run. San Francisco certainly tied, if not exceeded, New York's talent pool. -
'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. The City by the Bay's first episode was decent (still better than Minneapolis), but Idol probably saved the best auditions for tomorrow (Jan. 29). The talent and the singing styles were varied, which added to the episode's success.
