We admit it: the best part of “American Idol” Wednesday night was when Keith Urban hid under a desk and yelled “it’s not safe” as one bad contestant in tight leather pants made a thrusting motion at new judge Nicki Minaj. It was a strange, uneven, and occasionally frustrating premiere, largely because even though we […]

On “American Idol,” you really can come home again … at least so long as you don’t make it to the live shows. The contestant featured in the new promo for season 12 is not named as Johnny Keyser, but it’s pretty obvious from his look alone that it’s him. Johnny had a little bit […]
We’re going to kick off this edition of “American Idol” notes with what surely has to be the biggest news of the day: Adam Lambert splitting away from 19 Recordings, even though he is still under contract with RCA to make music moving forward.
