Every time Phillip Phillips takes the stage, the shriek of the audience seems to get even more high-pitched with teen girls going gaga for those baby blues and that laid-back, shoot-the-breeze style. This week, though, Phillips failed to charm the judges with Maroon 5‘s ‘Give a Little More’ (though Jennifer Lopez still insisted over and over “You know I love you!”)

The adorable sweetness that is ‘American Idol”s Hollie Cavanagh sang a little Pink in a little pink dress; and while she looked perfect and sang ‘Perfect,’ as it turns out, she did not have a perfect performance. Does this mean Cavanagh will be in the bottom three again this week?

Colton Dixon continued what Randy Jackson referred to as “one of the hottest shows yet” with a delightfully Colton-esque performance of Skylar Grey’s ‘Love the Way You Lie’ on ‘American Idol.’ And it’s no lie to say the judges ate it up.

Mississippian and ‘American Idol’ contestant and Skylar Laine may just be the best singer on whatever side of the Mississippi she resides on. This week the contestants had a plethora of options as they were able to choose any song that had been recorded from 2010 on. Not a surprise Laine picked a country song, ‘Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You,’ by fellow country crooner and ‘Idol’ alum Kellie

On tonight’s episode of ‘American Idol,’ the Top 8 tackled the ’80s. While the ’80s is a fun decade, full of excess and larger-than-life-ness, the Idols focused on the ballad side of the spectrum. Again, it was a little snoozy, with slow song after slow song.

Being a bona fide country music star isn’t going to interrupt Scotty McCreery‘s plans to continue his schooling. The 18-year-old ‘American Idol‘ champion and Academy of Country Music’s Best New Artist winner will be furthering his education at North Carolina State University, starting this fall.

One down, eight to go.

Brace yourself, ladies. The Wanted will be making a special appearance on ‘American Idol‘ next week, the band confirmed on their official Twitter page.

Tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol‘ featured the nine remaining contestants performing the songs of their own personal idols. It’s a smart theme, since these kids are trying to be Idols! Fleetwood Mac Queen Stevie Nicks performed her civic duty by serving as this episode’s guest mentor. She’s an experienced legend, ...

When Joshua Ledet revealed that he would (bravely attempt to) sing Mariah Carey‘s version of ‘Without You’ on tonight’s (March 28) episode of ‘American Idol,’ season advisor Jimmy Iovine immediately stated that it’s one of the five hardest songs to sing in popular music. Yikes. Whatever the case, it was Ledet’s selection since the Idols were allowed to perform songs by their personal idols. So, di

After being in the bottom ‘American Idol’ contestant, Heejan Han entered this week with his tail between his legs. While his charismatic personality and humor shone on stage, his vocals weren’t quite cutting it. Perhaps it was the harsh reality of barely surviving another week that got Han to take the competition seriously and hit us with a comeback.
