Truth be told, i hated her stint on American Idol, the cheep rivalry, the bearly there commentary and the redundant "Darling" and "Tour de Force" ranting, but she totally made up for it with this performance, reminding me ... and the rest of the world that we love her for giving us the hits, everything else is just an added ... well minus 

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.

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 ...

'The Voice' Towers Over 'Idol' in its First Week Back On Air

“American Idol” hit a new low in the ratings March 28, pulling in 3.45 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic and only 11 million total viewers. For the first time, NBC's “The Voice” has a greater audience than “Idol.” While “American Idol” is still guiding Fox to wins on Wednesday and Thursday nights, it continues to lose ground to “The Voice,” which premiered this week with new episodes on Monday and Tuesday. “The Voice” premiered March 25 and dominated the night for NBC, pulling in ...

'American Idol' Ratings Dip, Big Brands Still Line Up

In the heyday of "American Idol," the notion that it could fall ratings victim to a zombie slugfest or standard crime drama would have been laughable. That was then. With Fox's singing contest shedding about 20% of its audience so far this season to hit new lows, it's been leapfrogged repeatedly in total viewers by series including the CBS procedurals "Person of Interest" and "NCIS." In a harsher blow to a blockbuster that once ruled the advertiser-adored young adult segment, "American Idol" has been overtaken this season by...

‘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.

First, the top 10 guys were seated in a back room, behind this Roman coliseum type door hidden from the judges and the live audience. 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.

'American Idol' Premieres in New York to Clashes Between Nicki and Mariah

It was a tale of furry clothing accessories, "Mean Girls" quotes and British accents on the season 12 premiere of "American Idol," its first with Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban as judges, joining the stalwart Randy Jackson. After months of questions -- could so many big names mesh well together? Would Minaj and Carey play nice? -- "Idol" came to New York with a skip in its step, following the major success of defending winner Phillip Phillips, whose smash hit, "Home," opened the show.

But rather than focus on the talent that came to the audition room over two days, much was said and shown of the rivalry between ...

And the speculation has continued since Minaj was confirmed as a judge, at which point both women went on record to assure everyone that there was absolutely no animosity between the two of them — at the time.
TMZ has obtained video of Nicki Minaj lashing out at fellow judge Mariah Carey during auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina. After disagreeing over a contestant’s performance, Nicki loses her cool, shouting ...

Emmys 2012 Nominations: Scores & Snubs
