Matt Carter American Idol, Today Show
Want to do something a little crazy? Then go back and watch some of the early episodes of “American Idol,” and look at just how much has changed.

We have spoken rather extensively about a pretty wide array of nominees for the Teen Choice Awards this year (at least for the television ones), but we are closing out our coverage of the first wave tonight with the Choice TV: Reality Show category.

We’re not entirely sure that anyone genuinely thought that Simon Cowell would be making some sort of last-minute comeback onto “American Idol” for the final season of the show, but for those of you who did, here is your verification that he is definitely not going to be a presence.

While there is not necessarily a whole lot of television for you to watch over Memorial Day Weekend (there never really is), there was at least a showcase on some PBS stations last night courtesy of the National Memorial Day Concert in Washington DC. This event does tend to be a showcase for many “American […]
There is yet again another changing of the guard on “American Idol” as we prepare for the fifteenth and final season. So what are we going to be seeing this time that will stand out? Think along the lines of a drastic showrunner change. According to a new report from TheWrap, Per Blankens is going […]
Did we have a surprise on the “American Idol” finale Wednesday night? Going into the episode, we felt slightly in the favor of Clark Beckham winning, mostly because he was the established favorite for most of the season. However, at the same time we wanted to see Nick Fradiani take it. He was the better […]
Wednesday night marks the season finale for “American Idol,” and do you remember when these were thought of as some sort of enormous television event? That feels like a long time ago now, since these at the moment feel much more like events that are miniature concerts. They are no longer ratings smashes, but they […]
