Angie Miller Eliminated on 'American Idol' While Candice, Kree Press On to Finale

Angie Miller first became a frontrunner on "American Idol" when she took a turn behind the piano and performed an original song, "You Set Me Free," during the show's Hollywood rounds. The judges were full of praise, and the 19-year-old Massachusetts native, who went from 'Angela' to 'Angie' during the course of the competition, was sent through to the voting rounds of the show. But ...

‘AMERICAN IDOL’ SEASON 12, EPISODE 32 RECAP: FINAL FOUR GIRLS PERFORM AGAIN, NICKI MINAJ AND MARIAH CAREY BICKER

Last week was all about celebration because all of the ‘American Idol’ contestants were saved, but on last night’s episode, the home stretch of the season began and tensions were high. The top 4 ladies sang two songs each: one a recent song from 2013, and the other a “standard” classic.

Angie Miller’s 2013 choice was ...

‘AMERICAN IDOL’ SEASON 12, EPISODE 24: CONTESTANTS EMBRACE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL, SOME FAIL

The ‘American Idol’ 2013 Top 7 hit the stage last night tackling a music genre that left many of the contestants bewildered: rock ‘n’ roll. The night got off to a rocky start with Burnell’s mediocre performance of Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love a Bad Name,’ and an incredibly disappointing ...

'American Idol' Recap: Big Voices and Forgotten Words on Detroit-Honoring Night (BILLBOARD)

The good news with "American Idol" this week? Apparently 'Motown Week' means less ballads on the singing competition, which after the last few weeks is a welcome respite indeed (let's thank Smokey Robinson, the mentor this evening). The bad? It's down to the top eight and still needs to fill two hours, so it's time for group performances! While that may not sound like a poor proposition, remember that this is the ...

‘AMERICAN IDOL’ SEASON 12, EPISODE 17 RECAP: TOP 10 FINALISTS ARE REVEALED

After the auditions, Hollywood week and the sudden death rounds, the ‘American Idol’ pool is now down to the Top 10. There were many trials and tribulations the remaining 10 contestants went through to get to this point, most notably the team competitions where they had to balance group cohesion and separating themselves as individuals for the judges to get to the next round.

The night’s episode didn’t leave to many surprises, especially on the guys’ side as the five who were going to make it through were obvious. The way they announced the top 10 this year made for some hilariously awkward TV.

As Ryan Seacrest called each individual’s name to go through the door to show they made it and sing a victory lap song, the remaining contestants remained sitting there like sad little dogs whose owner forget them at the park.
