For all of you out there who bought rumors that Ryan Seacrest could actually leave “American Idol,” be prepared to be proven wrong. While it’s not official yet, it is looking more and more like the show’s host is going to return to Fox for not only one, but two more seasons that will take […]
Thursday night’s “American Idol XIII” results show was one that did have us at least moderately nervous about there being a possible favorite being sent home. Jessica Meuse, for example, went early in the show, and that never bodes well for contestants who also don’t get the best feedback. But at least through the first […]
What’s with “American Idol” somehow getting their themes for future weeks of the show out before the current week’s results are in? It’s a little bit of a crazy phenomenon as of late, though we’re not going to complain too much about it one way or the other. According to a report from TVLine, the […]
On tonight’s “American Idol XIII” episode, contestants were faced with a twist: Having to perform songs that the other contestants picked for them! Quite a change-up, no? Well, it’s one that we can actually get behind for the most part. We’ll pretend that those duets never happened (or that trio with the “country” singers, which […]
We told you last week that “American Idol XIII” managed to come up in theory with what was a pretty sweet twist to change up the monotony of what they have done lately. The other contestants were choosing a list of songs to choose from, and the potential for excitement was high. Sadly, the operating […]
You can debate over whether or not the crop of “American Idol” contestants this season is your personal favorite, but there is one thing that does feel pretty consistent to us: The top four or so contestants. We’ve got clear tiers this time around, with a group of people who are routinely in danger, and […]
Without Ryan Seacrest, we don’t necessarily feel like there is an “American Idol” anymore. He’s the only person on the show who has been on-camera since the beginning. Not only that, but he hasn’t even had the same primary showrunners the entire time he has been there. If there is one thing that we have […]
Last week around this time, we moaned and complained about the fact that “American Idol” had dipped into the well of bad theme choices and pulled out something that we really did not want to see again: A 1980s week. In turn, the week was pretty terrible, and we are firmly ready and willing to […]
After last night’s woeful “American Idol XIII” performance show, we would’ve been fine if the judges made up for the save by eliminating two people tonight. Also, we’d be happy if they eliminated Randy Jackson as a mentor … but that’s neither here nor there. What really mattered tonight was finding out just who was […]
For the second time, “American Idol XIII” aired an all-new episode featuring the top 8 contestants performing. The difference this time is that they were songs of the eighties, and not nearly as good as they were the were the first time around. Were there still a few standouts? Sure, but this episode had more […]
