There have been some inconsistent moments for sure for “American Idol” this season, but we still feel like this is the best crop of contestants at least since season 8. You’ve got multiple genres represented, a few singers with great vocals, and then also a few singers who are artistic and great entertainers. There are […]
Is there a guarantee that all of the remaining singers on “American Idol XIV” are going to be able to perform Wednesday? Not exactly, since there will be another elimination that brings us down to the top seven, and with Daniel Seavey gone we’re not sure that there is a consensus pick as to who […]
To further along our “American Idol XIV” coverage the rest of the season, we’re going to have a new feature published every week after the elimination of a contestant, looking somewhat at what this contestant did wrong, how they should remember the competition, and how we should remember them. We begin here with a kid […]
By the time we made it to the end of “American Idol XIV” Wednesday night, it felt pretty darn obvious what was going to happen: A vocal showdown between Rayvon Owen and Daniel Seavey. Here’s the interesting thing about them: One is a vocal coach who has stumbled a bit with predictability, and the other […]
Tonight, “American Idol XIV” featured many fun performances. It also had a few random ones, such as Jennifer Lopez completely phoning it in to the point where she forgot that she gave a save to Qaasim Middleton and not Quentin Alexander. She claimed that she was talking about the wild-card save, but we’re not so […]

As explained […]
The era with the Save on “American Idol” is over, and that means one thing for the rest of the season: We’re going to get to see America completely in control again of who to save and who to go. That to us is a relief; we’re not sure that we always trust the judges, […]
Sooner or later, we knew that in-house “American Idol XIV” mentor Scott Borchetta would be bringing some names from the Big Machine label onto the show, and we’re therefore not too surprised at all to hear the latest news: Florida Georgia Line is going to both be mentoring and performing on the April 8 show. Not […]
Next week, it is fair to say that we are going to have a most event episode of “American Idol XIV.” Why is that? Let’s just say that we are going to have the return of the first winner of the entire competition in Kelly Clarkson. Not only will she mentor the remaining nine contestants, […]
The moment that Daniel Seavey was declared safe at the start of Wednesday night’s “American Idol XIV” episode, we know that there were many out there shaking in their boots. After all, what did this possibly mean? We also assumed that Qaasim Middleton would not be eliminated, mostly because it is an extremely rare occurrence […]
