American Idol

Rush Week is over and not a moment too soon! It is kind of a cruel way to form the top 13, as ten contestants didn't even get a chance to sing to make into the top 13. Here's who made the top 13 and my odds of them winning.

Keith Urban doesn't always follow the rules. Lately, the Australian superstar has even gotten in trouble on 'American Idol' -- so much so that he has to have his outfits pre-approved!

Rush Week continues on American Idol, last night, we find out who the judges selected as the top ten guys out of the top 15. Randy Jackson, along with American Idol alums, Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert are on board with an Idol Boot Camp. Here's what happened.

Rush Week began on 'American Idol', The Top 15 Ladies sit awaiting to hear if the judges choose them into the top ten and to perform after learning they made the top ten. I disagreed with the judges choices often and the performances overall were not very strong. Let's recap.

Final judgement on American Idol continues and we left off with a cliffhanger on Wednesday night, Casey Thrasher and C.J. Harris were asked to sing again for the judges. The show opens with the judges telling Casey that he made it, does that mean C.J. didn't make the cut?

The waiting room, the ride up the elevator, then the long walk to get the final judgement from the American Idol judges. It's 'final judgement' time on season 13 of American Idol, as the judges make their final cuts to select the top 15 men and the top 15 ladies. Here's a recap from last night and some comment.

Hollywood Week and Group Round is filled with drama, some contestants crack under the pressure and some standout. The 106 contestants left take the stage in groups of 3 or 4, Jennifer Lopez warning them that at least half of them will be cut.

In what could have been the most breakneck show ever in American Idol history, the start of Hollywood Week has begun on season 13 of American Idol. This season featured a 'twist' to Hollywood Week, what was it?

It's the final stop for the American Idol auditions, Omaha, Nebraska. The one hour show featured many more solid talent, but were there any contestants that really stood out. Here's a recap of some of the standout singers.

Season XIII auditions roll on to the mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah and the solid talent continues. What was different for me last night, was how much I disagreed with Keith Urban. I really thought the judges let some people through who I would not have voted for and they didn't let one through, who I thought was one of the best of the night! Let's look back.

It's week two of American Idol auctions, last night from Denver, Colorado. Forty singers got the golden 'Hollywood' ticket, but for me only a few really stood out.

Season XIII of American Idol continued last night with more auditions from Austin, Texas and San Francisco, California. Here's a look at some of the auditions from last night and my comments.

The theme for this season of American Idol is 'a new start'. The show has the new panel of judges with Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr., the show also has a new slogan: 'This is your story America, this is your show'. It seems like American Idol is focusing more or the talent and less on bad performances and drama with the judges.

American Idol premiered last night with good reviews! I can tell you...I KNEW when they added Harry Connick Jr., I was going to be laughing. And I laughed all the way to the end! Especially when he was cradling a contestant while he was singing!   And to top it all off, a New England Patriots cheerleader made it to the 2nd round! YAY PATS!

Keith Urban and his fellow Season 13 'American Idol' judges added to their very busy week when they dropped by 'Ellen' to discuss all the fun they've been having and how big of fans they are of each other.

'American Idol' will hit the air for its 13th season on Jan. 15, and along with the new contestants comes a new panel of judges.
